Best Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Just now, Biggie said: Not much lol. Which is why I’m just going forward. It’s not worth starting over. Yea then keep pushing and focus on the main storyline. I have been focusing on the story and it flows much better that way. I will tackle my side quests later when I'm stronger.

Biggie Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 So I noticed after getting thrown into jail like 5 days I was negative XP which meant I had to pay back XP I think? I know I stayed at level 14 for a while until I earned enough and got the negative off my status under my XP bar. That sucks. One more thing that the game does to piss me off lol.

Best Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I played 6 hours today to put my second playthrough at 23 hours. I'm at a mission that kinda implies that I'm getting close to the end. I hope to God I'm not. I will tackle more side quests I suppose. I don't want this to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I think I’m close to reaching the end of the main story. Question for those that have beaten it: is the end the main story a point of no return into NG+, or after the main story I still have a choice to leave this universe? I assume that’s how NG+ is gonna work. Me going through unity to another universe. I mainly want to know if I need to do all my side quests before confronting the Emissary and Hunter, or I can beat them and still wrap things up.

Best Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Well I just checked, I'm on chapter 17 of 20. That blows but it does say you can beat the main campaign in 20 hours which I'm currently at. I'm tackling all side quest from now on. I refuse to have this game end on me lol.

Best Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 @Biggie I could literally beat the game today if I wanted. I'm level 26 and 29 hours in and at the final 2 main missions. So if you want to beat it just focus on the story and it's not a very long game. I stopped doing the main missions and I am doing all faction quests and other side quests because I don't want this to end. I also got a new ship that absolutely controls better and the combat is better, too. I'm just giving you a heads up is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucoe Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I have 113 hours in the game, and I'm so, so, so far away from finishing the game. What I do is fly to some planet I've never been on and just walk around it until some side story happens. And then I'm hours into an adventure I wasn't expecting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler You can beat them and still do quests after, there's just something on your ship that you'll need to turn off. Then you just turn it on when you want to start the NG+. The other thing that I used that time for was leveling up some skills that required money or resources. You don't get to bring anything with you and since I had tons of cash and a base full of stuff, I could level up ship design and make a bunch of junk mods to finish some challenges and what not.

Oh, I was not expecting that. I figured I’d get to keep my weapons, armor, and outfits on my character at the very least. Maybe even my home ship. does research progress carry over too? Like if I unlock Suppressors is that unlocked in the NG+? I can’t say if I feel more or less like finishing everything before NG+. Hmm.

I always turn motion blur, DOF, Chromatic abberation and things of that nature before I start any game. I wanted to roll with low film grain but I ended up turning it off as well.

Littleronin Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Sitting here at work, I am surprised how well the game runs on my Z13 Acronym. Rock solid 80-90FPS with the DLSS mod installed ultra settings. Makes the nights go by a bit quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our building loses power frequently because of its location. All of our machines were completely shut down so everybody was called off but with with pay. It's always a welcoming idea to have off and play Starfield all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Research progress does carry over, so yeah, that's worth doing as well. It doesn't really make a lot of sense as to why you can't bring anything at all with you. It seems like you should be able to carry your guns for sure, and I feel like you should be able to choose a ship and keep the contents of it.

Paperclyp Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Has anyone been having an issue on PC if you're playing with a controller that like, the prompt to dock or interact with a ship won't come up when you hit "X?" If I hit E on keyboard it'll pop up but it often doesn't work on the pad. I also noticed the range where it'll allow prompts of talking to characters is small too.

This game has some old Bethesda jank. I only play with a mouse and keyboard and it still sometimes doesn't pop up for me. I literally ended up installing a mod to increase the distance for docking because I crashed into things on more than one occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_MH Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Anyone playing on PC using any good mods? I've currently got the game running with some 20 or so mods. I usually wait a bit more before starting up a Bethesda game to allow the mod community to catch up, but I had no games lined up other than Mario Wonder a month from now.
