I'm glad to see you making Starfield content and hope that you continue to do so. I'm probably around 150 hours into it so far and still find myself staying up way later than I meant to playing it.
Right. I don’t get all the hate around it. Of course there’s criticism but overall it’s a good game in my opinion that gives me lots to do and playtime.
@@m0nsterman902 its owned by Xbox - that would be the lions share, the rest of morrowind fanboys and of the such - they see the hatefest started by the first group, and begin salivating and then dump more fuel on the fire. but also - bots.
Awesome that Bethesda sponsored you! They couldn't have found a better youtuber to cover their amazing game! Good on you, Sam! And as always, your lore connectivity always impressed me!
I find it quite ironic how though human's have been born and raised in space for two to three hundred year's. They sill have their ancestorial accent's. I am a first generation American, being born and raised in the upper midwest state known as Minnesota. My acceent is that of an upper midwesterner, not one of a germantic people my total ancestory is.
@@Kras015 I'm now 74 and have two great grand children. But starting with my first born, his accent is close but ever so slight indifferent, as is his son to him. One obtain's one's accent based on the demographic's where they spent the majority of their year's first learning how to speak. Demographic of any area change with each new generation. Some more than other's, but change neverless. Going out on a limb and stateing a generation is some 20 year's plus or minus. Three hundred year's would be some 15 generation's, of change. If a change was that of only one percent per generation. 15 generation's from now. The original wouldn't exist.
So, UC with inflated prices, deflection of blame, and a lawless low class is basically Blue while Freestar predominantly run by Capitalism is basically Red Makes me feel more comftorable being a Centrist.
I have fun fighting Pirates, and the Va'Ruun Zealots. I went full 'Supra Et Ultra' in the game, and i Love it. About to go NG+, will do it all again, and join the Freestar Rangers on top. That's my fun in the game 😊
Im finishing up the Ryujin quesline, as we speak, it was fun because of the espionage and stealth I love the Rangers because SPACE COWBOYS! Vanguard was well worth a questline for me, learning about the history of this universe, sweet weapons and armor, and a free apartment I cant wait to play the Crimson Fleet now after this And I really hope Bethesda has an expansion basef around House Va'Ruun!
Cool man, I don't know how you guys get to do so much research and moreover 100 percent the game and read all pieces of lore scattered all over when the game is so nascent
Hoping there's a dlc to visit their home planet and join/destroy them. Like a Starfield Dawnguard. Though shattered space sounds like it'll either be another war or more on the unity
Hey bro great vid do you reckon because the new Cyberpunk patch 2.0 is out you could do a new build based on the Animals gang members I’ve just seen people request it I thought it would be sick cheers man.
i just wish i could fill my ship with crimson fleet, they are so adorable…walking around my ship talking “no one can stop the crimson fleet” and other priceless gems. Jesamine is a great follower, im just so sorry i flatlined mathis in the begining of the game, didn’t know the base game follovers are so annoying.
I just wish the Crimson fleet was more pirate. To me they've felt more like a biker gang, with rooks being prospects and captains being members, and one leader over the gang. Where with the wars and all the people that felt abandoned or betrayed, ie First Cavalry and UC military members prosecuted after the war, you could have truly had a Republic of Pirates in starfield. Also there are three ways to start the Crimson Fleet Mission. Get caught and agree, get caught and disagree, and finish the vanguard and get assigned to secdef.
I'm sure everyone knows this but, the adoring fan is a huge reference to oblivion, after you complete the arena storyline ( arena as in you fight in gladiator type battles) you will have a fan come out and do what this guy's does, but here the funny thing in Skyrim is you look closely you will know that the adoring fan in oblivion is part of an assassin group that was higher to kill your player in Oblivion
Even more so than other Beth games, its like taking a college course learning all the info / systems / lore / history / tech involved here...and I love it, since I basically make it a virtual second life...making it last years ( with the help of hundreds of mods )
The factions have just survived a major war, so seeking outward and cleaning up the previously back burnered messes within their territories does make sense. The Crimson fleet feels like the one faction that should be exclusive or US against the galaxy. Maybe having options to infiltrate other groups of interest, gather Intel and triggering raids or abandoned posts harvesting operations to further the groups interests. Build weapons, armor, equipment stockpiles, secret supply or smuggling outposts.
That's just how corporate directorial boards work tho. That's how every corporation you know in the real world is run. The board, consisting of major shareholders are the governing body, the CEO is just an employee that they hire to run the day to day of the company
I’m having as much fun with starfield as I did Skyrim when it first came out. Can’t really compare them but they killed the whole Skyrim in space thing
I created my fourth character as "Penny Black" and found out Vasco calls her "Captain Black" and it's only with this video I realised I've missed an opportunity which I'll have to rectify by making someone that Vasco will call "Captain Scarlet"....
I'd say free star rangers are the most generous faction to start with as besides constellation their the only ones I've seen so far who gives you a free star ship after completing the questline the UC and crimson fleet are just like yeah cheers for the help heres some creds mission boards over there now off you go
This is a nice change for Starfield content. The bad game design is... unfortunate. But getting to know more about the created world without getting bogged down into the game is a nice variation for those that, for various reasons, won't play the game.
@@jamesguillory2697meh Bgs makes games a certain way that people either love or hate. The thing is here is that they don't have to make their games for people who don't like how they make their games. It's ok
Honestly, I don't like the Crimson Fleet at all. And I don't mean it from a gameplay perspective, I mean it from a "what kind of people they are" perspective. They claim to be like family, but steal and murder each other. They act tough for no reason. I get acting tough to outsiders, but stop it with your own people. My character will definitely side with SysDef. I think the one who gets them the best is the Trade Authority guy on the Key when he says they think they're free, but being free means sleeping easy at night, not worrying about some bounty or that they're going to get killed. Their worldview is delusional. Their founder was a violent psycho who, if you listen to his interview thinks he's some sort of folk hero, when all he ever was, was a thug. A successful thug, but still a thug. And they treat that guy as some hero.
the crimson fleet is so cool, but the way siding with them just makes so many previously hostile areas into a group of settlers with like 3 repeating voicelines is so annoying
Should tell Bethesda’s to fix stars to actually show as red, orange/yellow instead of them all showing blue when in space lol it’s dumb and weird. Hopefully DLC introduces Sebastian Banks somehow, same for Varu’un home planet
He pronounces Ryujin like a westerner but Andreja in game is pronounced with a "j" sound. She even says so herself in a quest. It's actually Croatian in origin.
I know you said they didn't pay you to say anything good, but you didn't necessarily say anything bad; and there is A LOT of bad. So I'm curious, do you really feel like you gave the game a fair shake? Or do you think being sponsored jaded your take? I can already answer this, just curious if you'll share the same thoughts.
I have a video request. I play RPGs for a great story and I'm curious which traits have the most impact on story. I know some have a major impact like adoring fan and kids stuff, but I can't seem to find any story about alien DNA. I'd love video breaking down this sort of topic
Cheyenne is pronounced like Shai-ann the ch making the sh sound. It is the name of a Native American Tribe from Minnesota but displaced to Montana where they have a reserve these days.
Ok i want to like the game......n for the most part i do, im just not a fan of the same caves, or the same undisclosed warehouse or whatever they are, theyre all the same....the guns...are all the same, the more i play it, the more i find im disliking it, which is a shame really, all they had to do it use different places and different cave layouts etc and im be sooo much happier
As soon as I saw one in my first playthrough I started offing them because they stoke that primal part of me that scares me Edit: I didn't do that questline until my second playthrough
It says starfield in bold lettering right above where it days Sam Bram, bit odd you didn't see it 😅. Feels like you just wanted to say you didn't like starfield 😂
Crimson fleet is awful. Bincha backstabbing try hards who say no one leaves and yet we run into person after person who has left. Fleet is Family. Lol what a joke
If they find out the kill you yet luckily they don't have much power. To the point where UC Navy don't consider them a threat at all. Guarantee the first thing they would do after getting the legacy is hunt down deserters
Neon was fun but also so fucking generic, they’re pathetic for literally copying CP2077 and calling the city Neon, and just in general the whole settlement just feels like “baby’s first cyberpunk”
Well its not a great game, lame story and very old Questdesign wich is sometimes horrendously stupid, like go there, use the computer, come back, all divided by 9 loadscreens! Donnow, not much cool handcraftet content to find or maybe no way of telling if it is handcrafted beforehand... donnow, was a really big fan of elder scrolls but also this got worse and worse over oblivion and finally skyrim, sad to see that everything gets worse from bethesda
This game is boring like sh1t. I almost fell asleep even. even while watching this video. I was just dying of boredom during the game. Horrible enemy AI, boring combat, unimpressive, boring characters. Boring quests (find, bring, pull 3 switches on the map). The graphics are average by today's standards. Horrible facial animation. I remember with nostalgia cyberpunk, where each character was written in detail, and facial animation made you believe that they were real, that they had emotions. It's not even close here. The game is definitely not a failure, but it is definitely a disappointment of the year...
Starfield is available now on Xbox game pass and PC: wehy.pe/y/2/SamBram
Learn the speech minigame before posting nothing
Tab and space to take or give away the ability to see hear or speak.
Great video! sorry to be that guy, it's "shy-anne" not "Chay-anne"
Ryujin is really just:
Mom, can we get Arasaka?
We have Arasaka at home son.
Can we get the NUSA
No we have the NUSA at home too
*pulls out United Colonies*
Neon is T-rated Night City

I'm glad you did this video. I'm expecting the best Phantom Liberty content from you, but I wouldn't mind some Starfield stuff sprinkled in.

Ryujin play dirty?! I beg your pardon... I didn't murder, steal and destroy companies to just listen to you barrage my employer with slander! :D
Good explanation of the joinable entities. Since I have finished each quest line it helps tie everything together.
Been loving starfield been stalling on finishing main quest to see all side quests
between secondary and faction questions and not including the activities that i have, like 30 of ive only done the third main story mission lol
Honestly not a fan of Sam Bram, just saw starfield and clicked
I appreciate your cold honesty.
@@SamBram kidding mate, cheers
@@bigsmoke279haha good one.
😂
Who the hell is Sam Bram
So, UC with inflated prices, deflection of blame, and a lawless low class is basically Blue while

Makes me feel more comftorable being a Centrist.
I have fun fighting Pirates, and the Va'Ruun Zealots. I went full 'Supra Et Ultra' in the game, and i Love it. About to go NG+, will do it all again, and join the Freestar Rangers on top. That's my fun in the game 😊
Freestar Collective anyday. I'd rather be left alone than have a "utopia."
Im finishing up the Ryujin quesline, as we speak, it was fun because of the espionage and stealth
I love the Rangers because SPACE COWBOYS!
Vanguard was well worth a questline for me, learning about the history of this universe, sweet weapons and armor, and a free apartment
I cant wait to play the Crimson Fleet now after this
And I really hope Bethesda has an expansion basef around House Va'Ruun!

@@SergiuGothicit's fun if you are playing with high chrisma... you get manipulation as well.

It usually involves lots of coffee and minimal sleep haha
@@SamBramkeep going bruv
I love Starfield, but man House Varuun not being in the game is a massive waste, they where honestly the most intresting faction from the lore alone.
Hoping there's a dlc to visit their home planet and join/destroy them. Like a Starfield Dawnguard. Though shattered space sounds like it'll either be another war or more on the unity
That's a good point I hadn't noticed that you don't really run into them besides in random space battles.
@@Darkknight-rf2hwgoto serpentis system
They're interesting precisely because we don't see much of them
House Varuun quests are buggy
I got to track a legendary Varuun ship but it’s not in the location it tells me to look

A very small number of factions versus Skyrim as well

I am convinced that new Atlantis and neon took most of the games budget
5:47 why is there a sandwich on the floor?
Great vid
man i really want more starfield videos by, love that game
Andrea is THE definition of ride or die. Her moral compass is strong.. but her blades she has the ready are tempered steel 😂
Me staring at Ryujin after playing CyberPunk: “It’s gotta burn…” *starts hearing The Rebel Path OST*

I genuinely dont care about this game at all, but im supporting the homie Sam
Excellent!!!!
I clicked for starfield and now im watching like 6 cyberpunk videos
Yeah I tend to have that effect on people...
The UC, aka Starship Troopers
Finally!
I created my fourth character as "Penny Black" and found out Vasco calls her "Captain Black" and it's only with this video I realised I've missed an opportunity which I'll have to rectify by making someone that Vasco will call "Captain Scarlet"....
I just wish the crimson fleet had unique parts for ships... like pirate habs etc that had a bit more of a battle worn look IMO
Can you join all the factions
Yes
That Black Ops Vorkuta reference lmao
Freestar is my favorite because I love the rangers
Best quest to do is Ryujin Loved every minute of it lol go check it out totally worth it.
Ahhh Ryujin. The quest line you couldn't complete at launch because the quest was bugged.
Really? I completed it in the first week I think. Is that console or PC?
ryujin was part of something called project marzanna, have you heard of it? id like to know more about it
Hey hey hey!!! The Eclipse and Spacers are worse than the Crimson Fleet! 😂
Idk if it would have been so good if I had waited to full 7 years but as someone who just learned of it like 2 weeks before out it was good 😅
All hail our benevolent overlords
