In Starfield they do nothing. You can fire a gun all around them and they stare blankly at you. Did Bethesda forget how to program in the last 12 years?
      Freelancer, a 20 year old game, did interstellar and planet-planet travel (jump gates and trade lanes) way better than fast travel ping ponging all over the galaxy.

My brain naturally filters out all the AAA gaming media and 'reviewers' by now because I just know nothing out there is worth it and the vast majority of it is shills getting paid to deceive you (sometimes they aren't even getting paid, they are too psychologically attached to their favorite companies which might be worse).

The customer dictates the market in any field and naturally this is going to carry over into the gaming scene. You can see the results. The bar is now extremely low, and there is little to no quality control because people have no standards. The inability to accept that something you like is now trash, even when presented with some of the most crystal clear, in your face evidence possible is 100% an intelligence issue.

And plasma weapons kill them in a matter a moments. Even on survival. It's just too easy.
      And you know Fallout 4 is too black and white with it's story. The factions are too on the rails. Other Fallout games tend to have the player manipulate the factions more somehow. You're just bitching about bitching. Maybe there's good reason people bitch in the first place. You ddin't consider why. You didn't mention context. You lied about how it's about "everything" when you made a snap judgement devoid of context. All that shows is that you didn't think and use your brain and consider reasons with context about why people bitch.
      New vegas had it all done better. RPG, pacing. No big enclave fights (unfortunately) but it gets so much done right. This is an example of context with criticism. Specific reasons.

Nothing the player does affects the world; you're basically writing a novel or a film the player is witnessing, rather than participating in.
      An open, empty world. Huts, all empty; caves all empty with maybe a bit of water in them. Ruined castles, all empty. The problem with a big open world, even an empty one, is that it uses resources. When you want to take the player to a whole new area, with new assets, enemies and have it full of loot; you need loading screens.

    Does Bethesda just not know how to write villains?
    Truly, of all the disappointments Synth mentions, this is the biggest one for me. These villains are... awful. Like, pathetically bad. Pirates that don't loot and plunder? Gangsters that don't break the law? "I was alive the whole time and orchestrating everything from prison" with no effort to explain how any of that was possible? Space slug diabolus ex machina?
    Can Bethesda just not write a compelling villain? One with gravitas? One who exploits human weakness for personal gain? One with a motivation more complex than "the good guys say he's bad, so he's bad?" This is writing I would expect from amateurs. Not a big video game publisher with hundreds of millions of dollars of budget.

      57:25 is where he shows a couple good examples that player choice doesn't matter. They literally imply that you can kill them with dialogue, but the game won't let you. Bethesda doesn't care about giving the player choice, but rather making sure you see their set pieces. Essential NPCs are obviously pandering to idiots, but having NPCs be essential just so the game can have you kill them later is egregiously asinine.

      There are lots of people out there who love Bethesda RPGs but think Starfield sucks. WIth ES6 coming next, that means some will want their voices to be heard so we don't get more of the same next time.
      I think that's partly why there's so much argument over this game - the more people claiming Starfield is brilliant, the more likely it is that ES6 will be very similar and for some, that would be a disaster.

    Starfield has none of the cool stuff from Fallout because Fallout lore wasn't written by Bugthesda, it was written by the people at Black Isle Studios. The guys who wrote the Elder Scrolls lore left Bethesda ages ago. From then on, Bethesda has been living off their work and perverting it to suit their needs, just look at Fallout's Jet and the super mutants.
    Bugthesda in its current state can't write original, structured and interesting lore, nor can they make developed, interesting and nuanced NPCs. The best their writers can come up with are meme characters like Preston Garvey and linear, nonsensical main storylines that require you to ask no questions because any amount of scrutiny makes their entire story collapse.

    My Slob List with 48h in:
    No Vats - No Gore - No diving - Can't open Doors, defuse Mines, use Items... when in Scan Mode - Can't control jump height. NPCs can do that. A Charge up Meter is really needed on some Moons, or you fly off like a Rocket - Boost Packs not really suitable ever/meaning that you need different kinds of Boosters for different Situations but also you need Resistances against Korrosion, Air, Radiation, Bio, and somewhat level conforming Laser, EMP, Bullet Resistance = you need 12+ Boost Packs - Crafting and Building Copy Paste from FO4 but with worse placement control - Awful Controls overall. The game works on GamePad but you need your whole Keyboard if you choose to play on the Keyboard. Make ready to rebind 50 Keys and ignore Conflicts - Very few and lackluster Feats - You should start with level one on each Skill - Skills need to be way more "Exotic". ATM they are mostly "more DMG, can Craft, can buy, can fly - Item Feats are mostly useless and are Copy Paste from FO4 - Skill progression is mostly forgettable and unimaginative - EXP from discovering, Hacking, building, crafting is nearly not existent - Item Notifications gone after 1.5sec = can't check Stats = open Inventory - Carry Capacity sucks - You can't mark individual Items to look/track for - You can't undo all tracking Items - Inventory Menu sucks! StarUI Mod needed = modding mandatory or wasting hours unnecessarily - Can't use Cure Object in Affliction Screen. Again StarUI Mandatory - Not showing "Weather(Corrosion/Radiation...)" Conditions on Planet before landing- Map is awful - Quests send you to places you can't reach - Lifeless Planets are useless - Copy pasted Bases/Caves... no sign of prcedurally generated Locations - Often looking to Scan "Natural Wonder" that I already Scanned because it's not identifyable from the Picture - Planet Map shows 100% scanned even if it's not because of "Costal Area" - Escort Quests that have you travel 1000m+ for low reward - You can't ban Useless Items from Scanner - Rare/Legendary/Epic Items cause 2sec Game Freeze when Equiped and changing to Scanner or cyceling through Weapons - Space Combat at least unskilled at early Levels is pure Stats Game and often undoable because 3v1 - No feeling of actually flying through Space - You still get Stuck and can not jump when on angled Ground as in FO4/Skyrim/Oblivion... - NPC Money should be infinite or at least increased by 4x - Items you pick up/have in Inventory show the worth they have when you buy them from a Merchant, but they should show what they are worth to you, when you sell them - NPC standing on Pilot Seat so only 3rd Person Space Flight or piloting through gap between NPCs Legs - Enemies/Animals on Planet stacked in a Heap, so you think you will fight 3, but it ends up being 12 or more all stacked into one tiny Spot and into each other - Melee Combat as bad as it was in any other Bethesda Game (look what modders did to Skyrims Combat Animations) - Reloading gets Canceled by running and jumping - Typical Bethesda Bullet-Sponge Enemies - Typical run around/jump over Obsacles and slowly chip away their Health - In Ship flight you need to be able to make custom Presets for "Full Power Weapons, Grav Drive, Engines, Shields..." and bind them to F1-F4 or any other Key you choose - Needs City/Outpost/Other Listing on Star-Map to find the Locations + placement of own nameable Markers - Needs Button to stop Quests from coming in. I get 5 new Quests when running around doing one Quest. I don't know how I got the Quests. I don't know who the Quests are from. I have no connection to them. - Finding Quests is a Nightmare. They need to be Structured much better. Time when Quest received/Location of Quest Giver/Nearby Quests/Location of Quest/Radiant Quest... - Still can't go from Sneak to normal Mode whilst doing any other action / meaning Stealth play feels Crap. Sneak to someone with a Melee Weapon, hit them 1 time, wait for Animation to finish, press "Crouch" Key, wait for your Character to stand up, engage in Comabt. 1995... 19 F*cking 95!!! - I have been playing the Game for 50 hours now and am Level 25 and I still find the same Fire Axe I found on Level 3 over and over 21 DMG - When on the Map Screen, there has to be a Warning that you can not travel at this moment - I am SEETHING because I activated a Mission but the Game decided to not show me that Mission at all, but two other Missions I do not want to do - I decided to do one of the Missions to see what happens... I now have FOUR Map markers. WTF! And I am not allowed to activate even two Missions - Buy Back Disabled as soon as you leave Shopping Window -
