Potatoes? You mean PCs with < $1000 GPUs?
I’m not touching Starfield until I can play it at 1440p 60 fps with decent graphics (yes, actual 1440p, not “720p upscaled to 1440p” bullshit. Neither that nor 30 fps are acceptable to me).

If Bethesda can’t be bothered to fix performance and I will need to wait years until I decide to upgrade so be it - I have plenty of great games in my “to play” list. By that time the will also be lots of mods to choose from to make Starfield worth it.

Wait a year for the modding community to finish it.

When I first played Fallout 4 years ago, it ran at 20fps in some parts of the map and on medium.

Playing it again now, modded to the max, ultra, higher res textures, 60fps everywhere.

Same pc.

That’s the plan. I haven’t actually properly played F4 yet either lol (tried years ago but dropped due to performance issues). Probably will do it soon after spending a month modding it.

Did that on skyrim.

Don’t know how much free time you have, but I couldn’t be bothered anymore for FO4 on nexus. I just downloaded one of the bigger/better collections and ignored/deactivated the creepier/boobier mods.

Already more than enough of a hassle to get that working, with vortex sometimes not installing stuff properly, pre-cleaning files, etc.

It’s crazy to me that they make the same game for almost 20 years but still can’t make it work. The ai seems to get worse every game, computers get better and better but it still runs the same.

I’ve never played a Bethesda game at launch.

Or any game for that matter.
