Hey does anyone know how much space combat is actually a part of the main story? If it's a big part I will pick up contracts and try and master it but otherwise I'll just ignore putting points into it. I hope someone makes a MOD that changes Vasco into either the old or latest version of the robot from Lost in Space but especially the latter. Or into Legion with Legion's voice that would be excellent.

I'm being entertained reading your misadventures people. For the flying, I think it gets easier if you invest into the related skills. I might have more tips in a few days once I get to actually play... Ammo is scarce like in Fallout 4 and probably like Fallout 4 you will eventually just sell your ammo because you have too much of it. Clothing is in the apparel section (with implants). Yeah need to research the skills more but just wanted to jump in. The inventory is not great, I am sure after a while it will be better but it may be under apparel but understanding what category casual clothing and spacesuits etc is not real clear at the start, same with weapons. But early days, though I do wish I could hire Joker as the pilot, maybe that'll be a MOD someone will make.

Mus tadmit the reviews have been mostl positive most have given it prett yhigh scores the lowes twas a7 from IGN and most others hav ebeen giving it a tleast 9/10 or even the max 10/10 I don't really pa yattention t oreviews really sa lo tof them can be just as biased asth efanboys but I felt just needed to point it out. But I'm definitel ytempted to pick it up. Thinkin I might jus td othat now before I boot up Midnight Suns.

Well aftre looking a tsome reviews and watching some more gameplay I've chosen to give it a shot as I do enjoy a bit of exploration. As I've picked tha tup and The Last of Us as well given I noticed that game was on sale atm. So that's 2 games added t omy backlog to play later when I get the time. I'v ealready got an idea on how I'm going to play my first character but we'll see how I go. I don't expec tit to be a personal GOTY or anything fo rme as I think that honour will end up going Hogwarts way atm for this year but it does look interesting enough to pick up

Man, I probably spent like an hour in the character creation because I kept misclicking things. It wasn't easy to create a character that I'd be happy with.
I haven't had too much trouble with the space combat, it's similar to other space games like Freelancer and Elite Dangerous. For personal combat, the enemies are a bit of bullet sponges even if I aim for the head but it might get better as I level up.
Random food items weigh more than I expect and they don't heal much either. So I tend to just eat them right away instead of having them take up previous room in the inventory.
I also can't believe the game doesn't have any local/town maps. I'm currently running around in New Atlantis like a headless chicken after selling most of my cargo.

because I'm busy with other games atm It's a time sink, so it makes sense to clear away other games. And frankly I think it rewards taking your time.

Which is why I'm going to wait until I have a clea rwindow before trying to get into it. With FC24 only 3 weeks out (which is the game I'm most hyped for atm) that's not now for me especially as I want to pla ysom emore Fifa befoer that drops and do another season or 2 on my career modes. Right now I'm just trying to finish my latest Midnight Suns run and then trying to decide whether to go back to Fifa, continue m yAndromeda playthrough or maybe start my NFS Heat run I was thinking o fdoing as I was thinking of diong runs of both Heat and Unbound which I picked up in the Summer sale. I heard Unbound's story is a bit cringey and I'm not tha tkeen on the artstyle but I've always found the racing in NFS quiet good fun when I have played it which was the main reason why I chose to pick it up. I didn't think it was worth full price based of the marketin gand what I saw of the game but on a sale yeah I thought it was worth it. But whilst Starfield wasn' t something I was originally hyped for and the graphics don' tlook tha tgreat necessarily the revgiwes fo rthe most part aer saying good things and it looks an intersting enough gam eto a tleast try whic hwas why I chose to get it an daddit to my backlog. I will play it eventually just no tentirely sure when right now becvause as with most RPG's it's going to demand a lot of attention when I get started to figure out all it's kinks.Looks lik ethe game's pretty big size wise to oso will need to clear my SSD too a little bit

I also have complaints about the inventory, in my case once I ran out of ammo for the first time, I was trying to equip an axe that I was pretty sure I'd picked up. Eventually I scrolled to bottom to find "all". I have never played Oblivion, and thus I am not familiar with the "Adoring Fan." I chose 'Hero Worshipped' hoping for a discount Conrad Verner or something. Uh, that's not what I got... Though from what I've read you can kill him off permanently, I've decided to keep him for now, in case his traits are handy for something in the early game. Yikes. As for ship navigating I couldn't figure out how to salvage ship debris, but you just drive up and loot. I chose the "file not found" background (head canon pending) which has the ships thrusters unlocked already, the thrusters are handy for small movements and orienting yourself. I was pretty impressed I figured out how to power the Grav Jump instantly, though in truth it was just dumb luck.

I've put about 12 hrs in. If you like hard science fiction, this game scratches that itch. I've been waiting for a long time for an Sci-fi RPG like this. Sometimes I even wish ME would ground itself a little. I am a huge sci-fi nerd, and I was going to pass on this. But I have to say this is my favorite Bethesda game. It's not the best thing in the world. But I think it get's an 8/10 from me. It's a really solid game. The character creator is very good as well. I think I was in in for almost an hour. Here's my character.

I did the first Crimson Pirate base and got to NEw Atlantis. I'm glad I put difficulty at Very Easy otherwise I'd be rage quitting and refunding. The ship combat was almost impossible. I completely lost HUD at one point and had to get out of the chair and get back in before it would come back up. If the pirates could actually hurt me I'd be dead. Wasn't that much better on the ground, but I might get more of the hang of that. Might. So far it's no ME.
Is it just me or do the graphics seem a bit dated for an AAA game in 2023?

Not in love with a couple of things about the main plot, TBH. I always expected that the centrality of the PC was going to be a bit of a challenge, since there's no defined backstory like ME or FO3, and no access to magic shenanigans like a TES game. But I really wasn't expecting this much of a handwave. OK, I dug up an artifact and had an experience. (And the reason it was me is that Lin rightly thought I was the most expendable member of her crew, right?) But Constellation's working theory is that the experience happens to whoever digs the things up. How does being the schmuck holding the cutter qualify me for membership, let alone a decision-making role?
And the gameplay makes things worse. It's one thing to survive a pirate ambush on the ground. It's quite another to jump into the cockpit of a spaceship, fight and win a space battle, and then storm a pirate ground base.
As far as I can tell, my character has never flown a ship or fired a gun in his life. Shouldn't he be telling Vasco "sorry, dude but this is nuts"?

Depends on your background some do have the piloting skill, but the tutorial is the tutorial, you can avoid ship fights after that first experience: - you can run away using grav jump - pirates usually do shakedowns instead of coming in gun blazing and they leave if you pay them - use the map to fast travel to planet/moon POIs, with an improved astrophysics you can scan planets in other systems to find those POIs

The customization optoins look good for both character and the ship and the game as a whole looks fun but graphically I think it could be better

Here is my first 'dusty' - Mira Logan, recently promoted (by a robot ) to Capt. Logan:
I took the space scoundrel background 'cause it sounded cool and I kinda wanna play a Han Solo type character. The piloting skill may help her but so far it hasn't helped me lol.
I think I leveled up too, and haven't spent my skill point yet.
During the prologue I kept trying to change to 3rd person view (even re-keyed the shortcut since I thought it was broken) but finally realized it was disabled since I hadn't created my character yet. I might try 1st person again since it actually didn't seem horrible.
Hopefully I can finish the pirate base and catch up with all yous guys who've been playing all day today.

Agreed to do a quest for a colonist outside New Atlantis to place Gas Sensors, it let me place the first one but the others seem to have rock where it needs to be placed. Tried lasering it but nothing and I got Lung Infection. Anyone do this quest yet and know the solution?

I went off reservation around New Atlantis which was OK but not much to see or do and the only quest I picked up from a colonist I couldn't complete. I either don't have the right gear or perks. First Photo Mode shot
