That's a really, really pathetic list of changes imo.

Been doing the "Unearthed" main quest mission. For 200ish year old facilities, their contents are almost identical to every other copypasta location in the game. (Ditto sentiment for the generational Earth colony ship which arrives at the resort planet.) Some people would be charitable and head canon handwave it away with technological progress being pretty stagnant in that fiction universe, but we all know that would be giving Bethsoft too much credit.

One quirk that amuses me to no end is the fact that almost every person has the same accent as if they would if they lived on contemporary Earth. I.e. if someone has a Russian name they'll have a Russian accent, Indian named person will have an Indian accent, etc, etc. Immigrants generations removed from their motherland would have completely different accents.

Emil Pagliarulo is like every WRPG fan's retarded uncle, charmingly dependable but barely competent.

its astounding that they had 400 more people working on this than on Skyrim imo. It's such an incompetent game. For fun i unpacked it and counted the amount of flora (grass, bushes, trees etc), it has less than Skyrim and Skyrim is only one region, this is around 1700 planets. I was so disappointed when i noticed this. So much is copy/paste too. What did all those 400 extra people really do i wonder..

Wow, that's really telling! I played only for a couple hours but I just didn't get interested, and at this point I have no desire to play it at all. Kinda like how I feel about The Marvels, happy to just miss it.

Holy shit if true:

"Current bug:

People who don't NG+ and play past ~200h will eventually start experiencing crashes, then more frequent crashes, and because their save file is being mangled by the game, eventually lose the save.

Starfield saves can eat themselves after a few hundred hours if you don't NG+ because the game runs out of object references (dynamic form ids), and doesn't recycle:

(https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/18ckfn6/id_bug_breaks_your_save_if_played_too_long/)

If you start getting crashes, consider
a) not loading that save any more, until a patch is incoming, and starting a new character or
b) completing the game and going to NG+ which resets the dynamic form ids for you and prevents the issue "

Yup, been a problem since Skyrim, maybe even Oblivion. There's a cost for tracking persistent player-manipulated objects across a game with thousands if not millions of them, and I don't think there's a simple solution to it outside of just removing the feature, else it would have been dealt with by now.

I'm fairly certain it has been an issue in Morrowind as well, but it takes some work (like mass producing potions and dumping them individually in a location). Item duping in Oblivion can certainly crash that game.

I did play a bit more Starfield last weekend. I'd heard that the way to enjoy the game is when you get to Neon, just stay there and do all the missions. So I did that aaaaand... eh. The missions and characters aint really grabbing me. The combat is alright. How to do stealth in this game continues to elude me. I did successfully manage to sneak up on and headshot one guard with a silenced pistol, but that alerted the rest of the room to my presence. Stealth rank 1 was one of my starting perks and I'm supposed to do 10 stealth takedowns to unlock rank 2. So far I've managed to do 5.

You can score stealth hits on random critters, it's by far the easiest way to complete that challenge.

But it does overall sound like the game just doesn't click with you.

Edit:

Seems like there's a bunch of stuff in the works (https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/18fyhnh/comment/kd1l4m0/?context=3)

In other words the game wasn't actually ready for release yet, and they're still working on lots of important stuff.
