General Videogame Thread

Finally get a chance to play Starfield tomorrow. Any tips on what I need first to make the game bit easier so I can get few upgrades? Once I start a game like this I mess around with it for ages without doing much lol.

Some beginner tips would be appreciated. Thanks

Great game, not sure how it would translate on a controller given it's mainly text and menu based. I love it on PC though. If you can mouse and keyboard on there it's well worth it. You just need to set your own goals, or go for the achievements but it still has me coming back.

Edit: Watched a video, looks serviceable. Go forth and poison everyone whilst marrying your 'less than intelligent son' to his cousin for gains.

@SWP's back think I've hit my limit at 40s round there, that long right down the hill and the left after the chicane are the killers.

I just had a quick check and I have a 1:37.8 as my best qualy lap there (it’s not great to use race times as the draft can be worth nearly a second in a Vee).

I’ll get a track guide up on Sunday.

I left him til later on. Head South and cross a bridge, there's an island that's a bit more like a warm up. Still typically unforgiving in places but it's doable. I found horseback combat helped me get that horseman down faster.
 
Was late to the rpg party and only played fallout 4 last year, really enjoyed it.
Downloaded starfield and it’s huge compared to fallout with 5 times the amount of stuff to collect and people everywhere to talk to with quests popping up at a way bigger rate.
I’m a keyboard and mouse guy so trying to remember all the keys and there’s a lot of them is a challenge.
I can play on high with my rig.
Core i7 12700k 32gb ddr4 and a 3060ti
The game isn’t optimised for Nvidia cards so no dlss although there’s a mod around that gives a little extra shine though it’s being reported it gives graphical glitches so I’ve stayed away.
Back to the game I think it’s going to take me years to finish this seeing as I only play around 10 hours a week if that.

Maybe coz I’m a foc I’ve got around 10 quests already by level 4 and scratching my head which to do first never mind the main story.
 
Also playing Starfield, its basically Fallout set in space, all the same mechanics i.e. pick up a piece of string, a paperwight and a picture frame and craft a shotgun, i loved Elder Scrolls i loved Fallout and i love this but its nothing we havent seen before, i suppose they are doing the why fix whats not broke
 
Think the scale of starfield will put me off getting it. Same reason I hated Witcher 3, just never ending. Fucked my OCD up when a new question mark popped up and I felt I couldn't ignore it. Just became a chore in the end.

Give to followers, put in ship cargo hold, or just drop it on the floor of the ship itself, some gear gives 25% reduction in weight of thing, but ye it’s a pain constantly transferring stuff but that’s a Bethesda game for you. I was upto 3am playing today just one more mission ha ha next minute it’s 3am! Getting to grips with things now at level 12, it’s bloody massive game, I’m just doing quests not even exploring, I found like No Mans Sky you can just go round exploring and nit really accomplish anything so I follow the missions.
Im going to build a base tonight and see how that goes, need to watch a few YouTube videos first as the game doesn’t really help.

Do into the Unknown and The Mantis quests first if you can.

Absolutely loved that game. My favourite since BotW. Its fucking infuriatingly hard. I'd suggest, if you get stuck, using whatever glitches are still out there to get runes, at least at the beginning.

Yes, you need to invest skill points in weightlifting/fitness (I think). There are also ‘aids’ that allow you to temporarily carry more, also some outfits do as well.

it’s something I’ve struggled with but now I no longer pick up all the items that dead people drop. At one point I had all of my companion’s inventories full of my shit, as well as the ship cargo hold, and captains safe…..just sell it all to TA
