brucoe Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I played the game Sunday and Monday. With a Nvidia 3080, it was choppy at times with 64gigs of ram. Still enjoyable, though. My one comment of a review so far is that the game feels like Fallout 4 in space. Lots of area to explore and bandits everywhere. And monsters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 If you're not having sex in Starfield daily, you're missing out on a massive XP buff | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM The "Emotional Security" buff is one of Starfield's best, and true love is the only way to get it. Quote If you've been saving yourself for that one special Starfield romance partner in your playthrough, it turns out you've been missing out on a status effect that's arguably better than any single chem can provide. It's called "Emotional Security," and the only way to get it is by having sex. If only it were that easy, Starfield. Emotional Security boosts XP gains by 15% for 24 real minutes. As shared by VG247, this is similar to the 10% XP "Well Rested" bonus you get for sleeping in a bed, but better because it's a higher number and also it means someone loves you. No, seriously: there are no one-night stands in Starfield, so the only way to get busy in bed is to first romance one of the select few NPCs that are interested. Thankfully Starfield's companions set their standards very low, so it's easy to make them fall in love with you, but it does take some time. Just bring one along on your adventures and, as long as you're not constantly committing crimes they don't approve of (just like real life, wow), you'll periodically unlock special "flirt" options in conversations that eventually lead to love and marriage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitgod Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I'm curious to try flying with the gamepad at some point to see if this is worth playing like I do NMS; kb&m walking, gamepad flying.

Mr.Vic20 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Well, I put in an ungodly amount of tme into Starfield since last Thursday evening and I can offer the following: * Its addictive to play IF BGS games are your cup of tea * I've completed all of the faction quests and would recommend that players jump on these first. The order will depend on your character build/play style * I've barely touched the main quest and am now level 33 * Vae Victis is perhaps the coolest videogame character name I've seen in some time and its wasted on a Bethesda milktoast chacter! Boooooo! * In my 40 something hours of play, I have seen tons of bugs and two CTD moments. My favoite was standing on a mountain and watching the world auto populate some local suarians at the wrong elevation and so they poped in above the terrain and immediately plunged to their deaths, even bouncing a few times after initial impact! Beware the dino rain! * Get your laser skill to max ASAP. Your mining tool, coupled with a 5% chance of burning, make a very effective backup weapon! * Get aboard the "key" as soon as you can (Crimson Fleet quest line) and purchase the bounty hunter armor from one of the vendors there * I understand the mechanics of the persuasion system, but the flow of the language/choices in the process is really broken and weird. * The future needs better wayfinding signage as the great challanges I've faced in the game come from figuring out how to simply get to the next location in some of the missions. * This far in, I still can't give a proper review. Current feel is that there is plenty I like and plenty I don't, weird game. * I'm looking forward to game plus as I can easily see myself finishing this run without leveling enough to tap into most of the game's Skills/perks * If I gave it a review right now it would be 8/10 - "Rich but flawed, with a reach that exceeds its grasp" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
