There are two different OPs there. 3201 is a Trumpy troll whose poor grasp of facts is only exceeded by his bad morality. My only interest in interacting with him is to make fun of him.
Riitoken -- the "hetero" dude -- is another matter. In other contexts he can post quite sensibly, and actually has useful things to say. It's just this topic where he comes across as a nut job.
To his credit, he seems to understand that what's really going on here is that he's stuck with a non-rational aversion. The dude literally has to cover his eyes when watching some TV shows.(And judging by both his bizarre intellectual constructs and his inability to craft persuasive arguments, I'm convinced he's on the spectrum, probably pretty far into it.)
But he can't own it. As soon as he admits it, he walks it back.If he could only admit that he's a broken person who needs protection from the real world, his ideas would be heard with more respect.
A sad man, indeed.

As for BG3, it's not really surprising. The social conservatives' discourse about media properties is fundamentally dishonest. They go after something which has problems for other reasons and then lie about its problems being caused by "wokeness."
Since they know they can't touch BG3, they stay away from it

Don't know why I wasted time talking about these stupid threads. I could rant all day about the collosal disappointment that is Starfield to me but playersexual romances sure isn't on the list. The weird part for me is that we did the whole argument back when DA2 launched, but I don't remember any of this crazy talk back then.

I mean Bethesda is (thankfully) tame when it comes to..... shall we say degeneracy. I don't mind sexiness, but like eating your favorite food, it gets old after a while. Besides, all that sexy stuff are what mods are for. What was that site? LoversLab?

Well anyone saying Starfield mod scene isn't a things are clearly wrong. It's currently 11th on the Nexus in amount of mods released. The CK isn't even out yet and all the games before it have released before 2021. And the top 6 are all Bethesda games.

The levelling one doesn't matter I am 100+ something level, I also rarely loot anything except ammo. these days. Funnily enough I got caught at Akila with Contraband just now as I usually don't pick it up and forgot to go to The Den. I had a stupid moment doing The Factory, decided to do it all stealth with a no getting shot objective, did it and was about to speak to Paxton Hull and instead of hitting F12 to take a screenshot hit F9 and had to re do half the mission again. Just did it again with my Magshear running and gunning.

It was obvious clickbait; people are either determined to dislike Starfield or were too lazy to do a little research. Probably a little bit of both to be honest.

I'll wait to use mods until they are done with the major updates and the DLC comes out. Given the amount of time it takes to find and install them, I don't want to have to do it multiple times.

I just look at the "Most Popular" ones in the sort choices. Today though I checked out "Trending" so there were a lot that were new but getting popular., most I chose were texture MODS, eyes etc. Though most by the MODDERS admittance will become redundant once they get the proper tools. Then it will be time to start a new game again.

Starfield update available (the one put in beta like 2 weeks ago).
And that means I'm taking a break until SFSE is updated. Good reason to go play Horizon Zero Dawn.

Anyone else playing with the new update? Now when I use the scanner, everything slightly darkens, then goes back to normal when I turn the scanner off.

I assume you are talking about a mod? I don't have any installed so mine is a vanilla game issue.

Bethesda revamped the entire lightning engine of the game and relight basically everything, what you are seeing could be related to that.

What's the verdict on the new lighting? I watched a brief video and indoors is ridiculously dark now. Hate it. NPC don't have those ugly shadows on their faces anymore, so that's an improvement. But did people really complain about the lighting much?? I had ZERO issues with lighting and thought it was really good for a Bethesda title without ray tracing.
It's such a strange thing to focus on for me. I want them to fix base building! Fix certain awful gameplay features, not make the game a little prettier. The graphics is not the problem of Starfield. It always looked good enough for me. Actually pretty good, period. The washed out colors is something that is debatable as a style choice. Most people hate THAT but Bethesda didn't address it, funny enough.

I updated the mods that required SFSE and checked a bit the new lightning. melbella I got a bit of darkening when using the scanner, but nothing terrible on my side. I'm using neutral LUT mod though, it might make the image clearer than the original. I also know that my flashlight mode does things to certain light source in the game (which annoys me). I need a flashlight mod because the original ends up being a FOV reduction in dark places and it triggers my motion sickness. As for the lighting as a whole, I think it helps in space with dark side areas. It looks pretty anyhow.

Haven't played yet but was worried about the lighting updates, I have never had a problem with the lighting since I installed the Neutral LUTS MOD so that is reassuring to hear your feedback. For me the lighting if anything before MODS was too dark and still is in some instances.

Check if your keybind didn't get reset. I feared they had when I saw the EULA again, but they looked fine for me. Or at least the one I checked.
