      It felt disjointed then. Like you’re randomly swinging and hoping to smack your target as it did the same. Nothing felt like it connected until you got the random melee kill cinematic. Melee in elder scrolls or Bethesda fallout has ALWAYS been a janky tack on.
      Character movement being your character gliding around the floor loosely with no movement weight didn’t help…

In other words the statements in the video are not strictly implying that "BGS graced us with the world of Fallout". One douche can't listen, and the other douche is agreeing with a falsehood.

    Ngl they had soooo much potential and you see it through out the game. Cuttable doors, doors that can be blown up. Multiple different ways to finish quest missions.. But it was all exicuted horribly. For instance when you do the scow mission. They gave you the option to handle it different ways, cut doors and sneak, let aliens loose on ship and let them kill crew. And a few others just for that one mission..
    But when you do the main dialog, if you have a strong enough weapon (EVEN ON VERY HARD) all you have to do is wait till the captain takes you to the vault, shoot him till he falls and boom all the loot on the ship is yours and they surrender, none of the loot is marked as stolen.
    It was corney as fuck.

I also had 25-30 types of ammo so had to work out what weapons were worth taking on a mission and what was worth storing. And personally I found the storage limited on the starter ship tiny. Ship parts were heavy, resources for base building or research were heavy. I also needed a range of weapons in storage so I could swap out weapons based on what ammo I had.

    Anyone who says the main quest is jank wasn’t playing the game. I had invested heavily into my relationships with both Sam and Sarah and married the later.
    After a high price to pay, for me Sarah was on the eye and I was running out the door to get her when I got distracted by Walter’s scream.
    After losing Sarah I was actually shook and I went to reload my save and managed to rescue her just in time, but when I got back to the lodge Sam was dead and Cora was in tears. It was so hard to pick but I ended up going back to the save where Sarah died because as much as I had invested in that relationship, as a father IRL I couldn’t let Cora live without a father.

      Oblivion is Bethesdas only truly amazing game that was better than all others in that genre. Even though it had kind of rough 3D models and janky animations; the actual world looked aaaaaaamazing. People talk fondly of Morrowmind, but I remember it was clunky and it had no competition.
      Oblivion did and was streets ahead of everything. I still play it now and I bought it on launch.
      I thought it's only lackluster area was magic, though it was still better than Skyrim and easier to learn to use than Morrowmind. Oblivion was the perfect balance of arcade and RPG, and with a few mods it is easily the best RPG on PC. Starfield is 6/10 if you play it the intended way, it is nowhere close to Oblivion!
      I honestly think peoples attention spans have been ruined by social-media, you have to grab them every 20 seconds or they get distracted... That's why games are like Starfield now : Cool to see every 20 seconds but longer play is dull.

    Just a suggestion that might help increase your audience:, The title seems to suggest a theme of "What is Bethesda Syndrome" with an argument and supporting examples, but you didn't really do that.

If so there's too much story telling and spoilers (this happens, then this happens, then this person says this). Are you just sharing what you liked and didn't like about it, for others who have played it? If so, why so much time on just repeating the story? Are you trying for focus on problems and bugs? Or are you trying to do a Let's Play?

    Great discusiion. You certainly enjoyed the main story way more than me, I thought it was the worst story/writing in the game (by a long way) and it was the worst Bethesda main questline they have ever done. The questline starts dumb with a total stranger giving you his space ship and taking your place in the mine. Which makes no sense as Constelation paid the miners to find the artefact so the job is complete. He's also their boss so doesn't need to act like a volunteer hostage. Having realised the temples give you super powers, Constellation decide to give you all the superpowers!!! Why??? Why give them to some unknown miner that could be a total pirate criminal. Why not share the super-powers out to their loyal members? Is no one else intersted in having super powers??? Makes no sense. The starborn dialogue never made any sense. Their motivations & attitudes are different in every encounter like every encounter was written by someone totally different. It also just made no sense why the generic starborn try and kill you immediately AFTER you have picked up a new super-power. Why? And why not attack before and try and prevent you getting the new super-power? The artefacts make a door that any number of people can use. So it's better to just work together and just make the door. There is one version of each person in each universe & yet when you do NG+ you seem to be the only version of you. There is no mention of time travel yet in NG+ you are obviously changing universe AND travelling back in time to the start of the adventure. With so many main quests & side quests being very shallow, the "Entangled" quest is a real shock to the system. It actually has some complexity & depth. I agree it is the best quest in the game & really makes many of the other quests in the game look bad. BUT this quest also interprets the multiverse in a totally different way. So re-enforces the feeling that the main quest was written by different people thay never spoke to eachother. This game is very mediocre & would soon be forgotten by everyone. BUT there is such a huge pent up desire for a great space game that the modding scene will be insane. We will be visiting iconic sci-fi locations, flying iconic sci-fi ships, replaying iconic star trek episodes. I think the game will remain popular purely for the mods. You won't be using mods to re-play Starfield. You will forget the Bethesda content ASAP and just be playing great, far superior community content in the Bethesda's engine.

At least i can see what you mean for fallout 4 with its notoriously trash melee combat but i can cast fire ball or chug a potion in Skyrim to make up for trash stats at least, Starfield makes leveling unarmed so annoying not even the watered down magic sytem in this game can make up for the bullet wall these garbage NPCs throw at you and you can even get a black belt perk, its just so poorly executed and the worst part is that it didn't have to be...yet it feels like tradition to roleplay the game works than it is to see actual improvement from Bethesda as a whole.

    This makes me fear for Elder Scrolls 6. These kind of reviews do not help get us Elder Scrolls 6 as fast as we want it. But I kind of feel like Starfield was a rushed project because EVERYONE cares more about Elder Scrolls 6 than any other from Bethesda. I know I do. I'm waiting on that. And I also feel like Bethesda makes these games like they do just to hand it to modders. For it was modders that kept Skyrim alive for 10 years. We are in the age of modders. And studios need to realize that. Giving us a base game to create our own.
    Saying it's bad is something that should not be said at all. You do not know what the modders are doing right now. 5 years from now this game will not even look the same.
    And that is what I like about Bethesda...Todd does not turn his nose up to his community. Rather lets us do whatever we want. For what we do only helps his future. Unlike Rockstar or some other studio that gets mad at what their community does. Todd is like our dad. Gives us a stick to whittle on.

      Yeah I agree with you, it's dampened my excitement for Elder Scrolls 6 too, if it uses the creation engine at least. I'm sure modders will make Starfield at least twice as good but I'm still wary as performance isn't great in Starfield as it is.

      That's cool if you have a gaming PC this was my first bethesda game and probably my last because that's all I hear is that the modders will fix it and add all the good content.
      Well I do all my gaming on xbox so it's even more annoying to see how it could have been a good game and won't ever be because they'll just drop the mod support and call it a day.

      One thing about any game...is people all have their opinions. What one thinks is good another thinks different. Can't avoid that. But as I said... this is the age of mods/modders. Eager to take a game to new places, new things. This is what teaches us about what we want and gives a future to games and studios. Utilizing all we can to make a game better and better and making better games. Bethesda hires dedicated modders. Todd encourages it really. Looking for ideas. Looking for the minds to build. There will always be mods and modders. No matter the game.

    The amount of issues you had with ammo and proper gun/armor tells me that you must have rushed through the entire main campaign. That is a shame because the game has a lot of very cool side content & quests that you likely missed.
    As to your question about the fights at the end, yes, it's possible to persuade them. You can fight both, fight neither, or side with one of them. There are basically 4 different outcomes depending on how you chose.

    People misunderstand Bethesda RPG's, they take on a new life after DLC's and the creation kits, also this game has a lot more going on for it then Fallout 4 did and I like that game despite locking you into a set narrative at the start. What I am saying is that when Skyrim launched in November 2011 people said it was unfinished and riddled with bugs, a rushed mess, now look at it. So this notion that like any other game that it could be a flop, is not really true for a Bethesda single player RPG.

      Thanks for watching! I agree, this game has potential and I think it's probably the most stable Bethesda game on release.

      @@LucidLetsPlay Many people in gaming media seem to forget that Covid and lockdowns happened in 2020 and set off a chain reaction that retarded game development for 3 years. I think had we not had that at all in late 2020, CDPR would have held onto Cyberpunk for another year to work the bugs and cut out the HDD drives restrictions imposed. Todd said that Starfield almost got the cut in early 2021 for a number of reasons and I think that one of them was just time management on how to take all that they wanted to do and polish a game for launch with lockdowns still off and on, everyone thinks this can all be done in a zoom call and it just can't, so the real fact of the matter is that Starfield is really a cutdown base of the game they wanted and they hope to add onto it later with DLC content, maybe some of it free. I did pay for Shattered Space already so that is not so free but all that said this game is already packed with content as is. Many people point to No man's Sky transition to planets and ask why not with Starfield, well that choice hampered NMS and its other content at its launch, so much was missing that it was called a disaster of a game just 4 years ago, people forget fast. So I think Bethesda started using HDD drives and then switched hardware about 3 years ago to SSD, much like CDPR did, and that, I think opened the game up to more options, Stanfield's early development still shows and it is around the use of those old HDD drives again but its not just Bethesda that are having this problem with hardware shifts and the demand that people switch hardware. But to your point of what I think is really keeping this game from being universally celebrated at launch and that is, it has the space fiction curse. See after Star Wars in 1977 everyone wanted in on that action, so much so that even Lucas had to step back with TESB and ROTJ, I was not born yet but from what my dad told me they both were not universally loved like Star Wars was in 77. Now today everyone loves TESB but it was not loved much when it came out as it was a cliffhanger, shocking I know. Then we get to Alien and that was a smash hit yet when Ridley Scott wanted to have more of that same control and mystery with Blade Runner's marketing, the money men said no they wanted a traditional marketing of Harrison Ford as a detective and that was not really what that film was about, expectations were set so high after Star Wars in 77 that almost everything Science fiction touched after it was tainted, and sadly Blade Runner in 1982 flopped and was left for dead until a revival in 1992 came about, the culture changed and that world did not seem so distant at that point, and also the glow of Star Wars was starting to dim finely, some of that was thanks to the Terminator, Robocop and Total Recall and T2. I Love Dune in 84 but that film also had the curse but is now a cult classic. The Prequel trilogy was some of the most overhyped marketing in history around a franchise that I think it again cursed it, but now next to the crap Disney pumps out its looking amazing so this is a thing. One last factor to this curse is Todd Howard himself being so like George Lucas. The Space idea on the face of it seems a natural evolution of a Bethesda RPG and it really is, I think Todd wanted to have a High Fantasy RPG and a Space RPG just like Bioware did with Dragon Age and Mass Effect, I think this really bothered Todd Howard when he saw Mass Effect and then he saw his rival Obsidian do Outer worlds, I think seeing Outer Worlds pissed off Todd so much that he demanded to make a Space game he wanted over a new Elder Scrolls. Now I did not like Outer Worlds much, it clearly used assets from Fallout 4, I think this added to Todd's anger and I think that Starfield is very much I want to do Outer Worlds the proper way kind of project and I think it blows it out of the water to be honest, but again one of the problems with having something like the Outer Worlds come out first, is that it takes away some of the waw factor and then we get the overhyping to sell it to counter that blow. So to sum it all up Lockdowns, old tech new tech switching over, a space fiction curse and corporate rivalry hampering artistic vison. :)

      That's an interesting take! I do agree that people need to look past the lack of No Mans Sky travel, but I do also agree that it really does dampen the experience and makes the game feel more like a well designed rat maze at times. Looking past the lack of real time space travel though and you can see that the game is truly a proper Bethesda game underneath which is great. I'm not a massive space lover myself so it's not my favourite genre but I do really want to try out Outer Worlds at some point, maybe I'll make a video on it! I can't imagine playing Starfield on a HDD though, I imagine that would be hell! :D
