I’m guessing you’ve never played bioware games.

Also a cheesy one to level: each hit with a silenced automatic weapon counts as a sneak attack as long as your not full detected, rapidly filling the challenge for sneak.

I shot out that first crimson ship’s engine as a homesteader. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was also very disappointed with the followers in the game after taking extrovert. They seem so flat compared to fallout 4.

I took extrovert because i quite liked most of the fallout 4 companions. I even started making builds around companions. But i have to say starfield really is a step back on that. They all talk in such a monotone manner, there is hardly any personality in there. The one with the most personality is the adoring fan, and his whole joke is that he has no personality. So yeah… don’t take extrovert i guess…

Ship parts are an item like med kits, but for ships. You can buy them from some merchants or sometimes loot them from destroyed ships.If it’s in the cargo hold of your ship you can use them. You can enter the ship’s hold a number of ways. In the start menu go to ship and you see a button to enter the cargo hold on the bottom right. There you can store or take items from your cargo hold like you’re trading with a companion, as long as you’re in a radius of 250 meters of your ship. There’s also a blueish computer screen in your ship’s cockpit where you can enter the cargo hold, in the frontier it’s on the left on the wall just before your piloting seat.

This actually hits the nail on the head and shows that vehicles are the wrong thing to ask for. It’s not the travel distance/ time, but the lack of experiences between 2 points. In Skyrim and Fallout 4 a lot could happen if you travel on foot. Patrols, random encounters/events and all that stuff. A game about exploring should be about the journey, not the destination or the travel time. Having said that I still do enjoy the game.

Almost every time something negative is said about Starfield, it feels like walking into a room with Draco Malfoy, Geoffrey Baratheon and bully Maguire bullying on Bethesda/Todd.

But here in this thread, on the worst review I’ve seen so far, people are actually chill, acknowledging the flaws, but enjoying the game. It’s such a fresh breath of air.

No, as another user suggested it was my CPU overheating, which i have fixed and haven’t had any problems since. and I don’t know why it says 2gb on the videocard, it is a 6gb card. I double-checked before posting.

After unclogging the ventholes and setting my laptop on a laptopstand, the CPU stays considerably coller and I haven’t had any issues ingame. So thanks, I appreciate the help!

I had constant framedrops because my cpu was overheating. I used a program called apeccy to monitor temperatures. Iwas told it was either temperature or settings, so maybe it helps to check that out.

I could give that a try. But I also noticed that the bottom vent-holes were clogged up with dust, so i blew that out but i haven’t played after that. Also put it on a laptop stand for better airflow. I really appreciate all the help, thanks.

I installed something to monitor the temperatures, and indeed my cpu is hovering between 90 and 100 degrees Celsius. Is there anything i can do about that? Maybe applying some fresh thermal paste?

Settings were the first thing I lowered to see if it had an impact, as it didnt make a difference i doubted that was the culprit.

I red all rtx cards could do DLSS, but only the 40xx could do DLSSG, but just like you I’m no expert on these things.

I did install this mod today, and although my average fps went up to about 35/40 fps, i still get those massive framedrops. They only last about 5 seconds, but its getting quite annoying. I did some searching before I posted here and all i could find was “install on ssd”, and both my drives are ssd so i doubt that’s the issue.

Starfield was originally planned to be released 2 years ago. But when Microsoft took over they gave Bethesda another 2 year development time, which they mainly used for polishing if you believe the talk about that. In that case it’s not surprising that the requirements are more comparable to games of 2 years ago instead of current releases.

Endless Legend is the most beautiful 4x game I’ve seen so far. All of the races are great designs and feel really different in gameplay.

Starting with what I dislike: collectibles (or pickup upgrades). They spread these out over the levels and I find myself scouring the map to see if i didn’t miss anything. It ruins the pacing of the game. Some examples of my recent plays that do this are the Last of Us games and the Mass Effect trilogy. If the game is build around exploring your surroundings, it’s a different story of course.

What I really like in games is character building and i love it when a character improves depending on your playstyle. A very solid example is Skyrim’s leveling system. It just feels more organic.
