Starfield (General discussion. No story spoilers)

Even with no real glimpse into what we’re getting, just the idea of a Bethesda-made SP-focused game set in space gives me serious hunger pangs for a space opera-ish RPG. There’s so few of them out there as it is, so I’m excited that we’re getting another one at all.

This looks more like a modern style spacecraft, like 20-30 years into the future, something like Interstellar maybe? I expect it to be harder Sci-Fi than Mass Effect for example. The cylinder is about 50 meters across it seems, and the living quarters are pretty cramped. I guess the method for gravity would be self-rotation and relying on centrifugal force. The planet on the background has visible shores and clouds, it could be Earth but I don't recognize the continent. Also there is that orange hue, but I guess its for artistic purposes.

Gottta say I'm a bit disappointed that the teaser was all there was but I suppose it was to be expected. Would've been awesome had they done the Fallout 4's with it, announced it and then said it's coming out already.

At least it's official now also late 2019 is totally possible but we'll see how it is next year then.

The music really gave me all the right Space-feels.

Seems important enough. I suspect that it might have something to do with the plot of the game, but your guess is as good as mine.

STARFIELD!!!

I am super happy this is finally confirmed and that it's going to be a big SP RPG IN SPACE!

I was already about to trun the stream of the Bethesda conference off because I thought it was about to close up when Tod Howard got to those last two teasers. Fantastic. Couldn't be happier about the fact that both Starfield and TES6 got confirmed. I don't even mind that it'll [robably be a long time before we'll see them released. The main thing is that they are real.

That's always a matter of perspective. If you only care about one single thing, why watch the press conference in the first place? In that case, I'd rather wait another 10 minutes until the summaries and individual trailer/teaser vids come up on the web.

It's a matter of structure. Although I agree, it was a bit bad structured, but showing those teasers at the end was the right thing to do.
They need to show something to catch everyone's interest, and then keep going up and up, and then a "finale" to take everyone breaths. Their conference was like roller coaster this time. The best one they did is still the 2015 one.

Oh yeah, for me Bethesda dropped the ball too. Not really that interested in F76, and the rest was meh. Taking out RAGE 2 which I like, but already knew about.

Well, F76 is not for me either. Prey Rage 2 unfortunately doesn't excite me at all. Looks way too much like a fairly generic open world thing. Another Doom could be nice but really we haven't seen much here and it's also not anything I am loosing sleep over. The TES Phone game looks fairly impressive from a purely technical perspective, I'll give 'em that but I'll probably never play it, no a phone gamer.
So yea, the best parts for me were also definitely the Starfield and TES 6 teasers (which I really didn't expect anymore at this point, so I am very happy about those two) and the Skyrim on Alexa thing, which was very funny. In general, I think Tod Howard did a very good job on everything he presented and he kinda saved the press conference IMO.
Definitely better then their Bethesda Land BS last year.

Well, it doesn't give much away, but the dev is enough to get me excited. 😀
