It’s definitely at least worth tinkering around. Especially as the DLC gets closer. I’m hoping a proper survival mode is added before then so you’ll really have a reason to have multiple outposts to refuel your helium for grav jumping.

appreciate the kind words, i try my best to bring the goods!

Good eye I didn’t notice that but I could see it being the case their AI is still a little janky with how they follow and maneuver with you. It’s still incredibly difficult to do stealth with any companion, but hopefully these things will get tweaked.

@@spicy.tuna_ I might be mistaken, I though it looked like VASCO on the back of the vehicle in the update video. Yeah, at the moment the best you can do is tell them to wait and then move forward on your own. I've not tested how close they have to be to come running to help when the shooting starts.

absolutely agree with all your points. starfield just felt too big of an idea for them to make in their original idea. ES6 is going to really tell us the future of bethesda and if they truly have fallen off.

One of the best for good reason. I hope one day we can get a remaster.

@@spicy.tuna_ yes, if they make the remaster right, I would love it as well! But despite talking about New Vegas, this Starfield video is much appreciated :⁠-⁠D

That’s completely fair and all criticisms I have for the game as well. It was a massive disappointment due to the hype. But fortunately for Bethesda there’s still a lot of people who have hope the game can age well over time. We’ll see tho, the dlc will really determine if I can believe in it long term or not.

@@spicy.tuna_Even if Bethesda releases the dlcs, the game is still very lackluster with constant load screens and. a bad procedurial generation. They have a low amount of Points of Interest, meaning you'll get the same exact generated "random" event in the same playthrough. Modders generally have left for this game (I know there's still modders, but that scene is drying up here) and mods have kept a lot of newer Bethesda games alive. Bethesda is somewhat trying, but their attempts have been implementing a lot of features that were already present in former games.

@@lawofanubis2996 I agree for sure. The game will never get even close to being their next fallout or elder scrolls. A lot of those issues can likely never be fixed, and you’re correct I unfortunately don’t foresee any kind of mods that will “fill” the planets like many hoped. But I hope it at least becomes respectable because there are some features in the game that are close to being really good if they were only fleshed out. But after a couple dlcs I hope they essentially abandon the game and move on to their strong IPs and learn some key lessons from this

@@spicy.tuna_ Unfortunately I don't think that Bethesda will learn. When you look back to Oblivion, Bethesda was trying to move to monetizing things ingame, and the game itself was a downgrade from the game before it. Fallout 3, even for its time, was years behind other games in terms of mechanics and gameplay compared to others releasing that same year. Look at Skyrim today. It's so extremely monetized it's not even funny. It's been re-released on purchasable 11 times. It was really just a beta test game for the new Creation engine. I don't have faith in Bethesda making a quality game in either ES6 or FO4. Fallout 4 had the "Next-Gen" update which was a catastrophe. Even Fallout 4, for its fun shooting mechanics, was a very flawed game and is both years behind the other games in the market for the time, but also lackluster in a bit of content from other Fallout games. Mechanics like having a viewable weapon were gone, weapon durability, et cetera. That being said, I don't hate or dislike the Fallout series. They're among my favourite regardless of their flaws. But Bethesda isn't a powerhouse studio that people think it is. They employee modders into their teams or rely on modders outside of the core aspect of the game. It's disappointing because the best game released in one of their main IPs was Fallout: New Vegas and that was a time crunch game with numerous flaws due to crunch and the engine and not having a fully experienced team. That being said, don't take any of my criticism as being a hateful message, nor that I'm trying to say that you shouldn't be excited for the next game, but just be wary of expectations.

I’d say a significant amount of Bethesda fans hold hope that it can get significantly better over time, not in a complete cyberpunk way because it’s not Bethesdas forte for that kind of overhaul but for many of the game improves significantly in 1-3 years they’ll jump in just like they did for fallout 76
