eventide11 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I dont think I get space travel. Trying to do a side mission and there's no way to fast travel to it.. or anywhere near it.

I’m not quite sure what you mean, you can’t fast travel. Only place I couldn’t fast travel to for side quests are when I needed to land and explore the area with my scanner to find where I needed to go. If you’re trying to get to a planet or moon there is very much fast travel. There’s multiple ways to do it in space to get to another part of the system or travel to another system. If it’s your active mission you can just select the quest marker and you get the UI to press travel. Then you just go. Like If I (on controller) was on a planet and now needed to go to another planet I could lift off in my ship, from space look towards the mission marker, press A, get the prompt to hold X to travel, hold X and see a cutscene taking me to that planet.

So if you customized your button layout you may have inadvertently left in a conflict that has caused the travel option to be removed from the UI or fail to show up.

Im pretty sure the mirrors thing is like that because Bethesda is using cube maps for their reflections, and that wouldn’t work with a mirror. This game would be amazing with RT reflections, but I doubt even a 4090 with an 13900K would be able to run the game at a decent frame rate. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why the windows thing is the way it is too, again, it's just funny that the "Dream House" trait gets you / any house you buy is essentially a very large coffin.

Kal-El814 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Also a little further in the game now and the lack of a local map is sincerely one of the stupidest design decisions in recent memory.

TheLeon Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I’ve played maybe just 8 hours or so, and I’m not really feeling it. I keep encountering new layers of the game and thinking “I don’t wanna mess with that”. So then I just focus on doing the story missions, which haven’t been particularly thrilling to far. I’ll probably keep poking at it for another few days, but if I don’t come around on it, that’s fine. My expectations were under control. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eventide11 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Yeah I'm not getting fast travel at all and I've been playing for near 40 years. I can travel to certain places after layers of prompts etc but to get to the 'red dot' systems it says you haven't discovered this star system or whatever and even the closest I can get would take hours of travel. Maybe if I get further in the story I can but for now it's beyond frustrating. There's a good game in here somewhere they just don't want you to play it the way you want unlike other open world, sandbox, Skyrimmy type games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make any fucking sense. This is one of gripes with the game too. If not a full map of major city hubs it would be nice if you could use kiosks around the city that had a list of the places of interest, descriptions on what they were maybe, and selecting a place would put up a way point to guide you there, like activating an Activity mission in your menu. I also wish you could consume or use aid items from the world without having to pick them up first. It would be nice if when shopping with vendors it would show you in the UI how many of an item you have. Especially with aid items and ammo. and maybe this is just a limitation of Creation Engine and it can't do it, but I wish they tried to hide all loading behind a cutscene. It seems to take the same amount of time to load whether I see the landing animation or it fast travels me to being outside of the ship from orbit. I'd rather choose to see the landing every time, like I see the take off every time, and some slightly more elaborate hatch opening animation to hide the loading so the game can feel a bit more seamless. even if it is very artificial, like characters squeezing through tight spaces in 3rd person games. I'm fine with there still being fast travel with loading screens for those that want to do that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 On the other hand here's a tip if you're a sick fuck like me who likes to place items on shelves and stuff. These control aren't in the bindings. Hold A to pick up an object, then it will be suspended in front of you. Push RT and LT to rotate the object. If you push the left stick button it lets you rotate the object on a different axis. Then push A to let it go. if you push X you can throw the object. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
