GOODBYE!
It must be some sort of futuristic cultural norm so I've started enthusiastically shouting it back, out of politeness of course.

Some of the music is very Fallout-y: the brassy motif when you complete a quest/level-up.

I know they're very different games, but imagine if you could have a Bethesda style RPG with the space travel of Elite Dangerous. Mind you that would be a very slow-paced game.

So what do people think of the dialogue. There is a LOT of dialogue in this game, which I love. Once I reached New Atlantis, I must of played for about 8 hours without firing a single bullet. I was mostly doing quests and speaking to people.
It did surprise me just how much dialogue is here, but in a good way. I can see it putting a lot of people off though, especially those with short concentrations looking for quick fixes.

Anybody experimented with base building yet? I’ve only set up one small one as a storage location as had maxed out storage on my ship.
I want to set up a real base but don’t want to waste my resources. Also, it’d be good to understand what resources are important to mine. I know I could look at some guides but part of me wants to just give something a go and see.

I know I could look at some guides but part of me wants to just give something a go and see. Not yet. I piled all my resources into my ships storage and now the storage is full. I will probably try and jump into some base building today, but I never bothered in Fallout, that aspect of the game never appealed to me. I feel I need to sort out my storage woes though. |

Those who've played it, what's the content like in the game? By which I mean, is it full of effin and jeffin and mucky stuff, the way a Rockstar game usually is? Or is it mostly benign, like the Mass Effect games (outside of specific rude bits).
Just wondering how easy it'll be to play with the kids running around!

Quite PG so far. Don't recall any swearing. Doesn't appear to be any blood or gore either. I got my first conversation prompt to FLIRT just now, but disappointingly it was more Jane Austen than 50 Shades.

I've heard one 'shit' in about 16 hrs. There were some blood splatters around some bodies, but nothing graphic.
Should be easy to let the kids watch.

Super, cheers.
I find the PEGI ratings a lot less useful than BBFC in this regard. Maybe because "doing it" is supposed to be worse than "watching it"?

Finding repairs and / or ship parts with a hold full of contraband is proving quite challenging. I’ve had to resort to raiding settlements in the hope of finding some.
I have become what I swore to destroy.

Yeah I found some very valuable contraband and not really sure what to do with it as I haven't got a smuggling compartment on my ship yet.
I thought I'd build a base and stick it there for safe keeping but I couldn't figure out what sort of container I'd be allowed to stick it in. Anyone know?

Hello Games was justifiably torn apart for overpromising when the game launched, but look at it now, they have made good on all the promises. But Starfield will never allow you to just explore without transitions. All this anti-trans rhetoric! |

I’ve managed to get it working relatively well on Steam Deck, mostly 30fps a without looking like ass. Does drop in big outdoors or heavy combat, but not unplayably. The default control setup is all kinds of weird though, start is actually not start, and menu is start if you press it twice. Time to go remapping.

Solved my ship repair problem. Stole a ship instead.
It’s absolutely massive too! \o/ 5000 cargo space and extra couple of crew spots.
So I guess I’m a pirate now and this will all go swimmingly well.

Comments on this mod have advice for further performance improvements:

I know I could look at some guides but part of me wants to just give something a go and see. Yeah I built my first outpost earlier. Just mess around, resources are cheap to buy at vendors. I just needed storage but worked out I can extract Iron for some passive income. Took to an age to work out that you need gas storage for the fuel generator so I had to head to Neon City to pick up a load of resources to keep going and got sidetracked as you do. Neon city is much better than New Atlantis, highly recommend heading there asap. |

Fuck the sandwiches, when I get around to outpost building there's going to be a Scrooge McDuck style room full of Parsecpooch dolls.

People who've dabbled in outpost construction; is there somewhere for me to display all the magazines I've been picking up, as per the racks you could build in Fallout 4?

Digipicks are the thing I never seem to have enough of, probably because I have to know what’s in every locked crate I find. And I might be shit at the minigame too, once you get to Expert there are just too many different slot patterns that fit to keep track of all of them.
Also am I missing something, or is the waypoint (/“custom destination”) on the surface map broken? I can’t see it after I’ve set it.
