Starfield’s art direction is painfully boring. I’ve ben watching friends play. It looks like a totally soulless, characterless distillation of every forgettable science fiction movie in the last 30 years. It sure does look NASA, and NASA doesn’t have an artistic vision, they just slap shit together in whatever way won’t explode. The menus, the costumes, the weapons, even the planets, just look painfully generic. Like congrats, Todd, you successfully executed the NASA part alright. There’s no way you could have made more intensely bland, vague, inoffensive rendition of space. There’s no “punk” anywhere to be seen, though.
: p
I can’t believe they made this shit instead of TES Six. It’s like every 2010s space show that got cancelled half way through the first season.
It’ll happen. There have always been a ton of Commie and Anarchist mods for Beth games.
I’m honestly suprised there is no overt cosmonaut art present in the game or even a “evil” russian faction or whatever, just a weird cult so far and “scavengers” (i.e. disenfranchised people scavenging on the remnants of corporate space to survive capitalist space hell )
The Spacer faction really doesn’t sit well with me. In lore (minor spoilers I guess) they’re supposed to be generic unaffiliated scrappers who sometimes engage in piracy. The game treats them as a universally hostile faction like the Crimson Fleet.
How do I know I’m only shooting Somali pirates and not just gunning down random Somali families?
