Meanwhile, I managed to accidentally start a civil war in New Atlantis by picking up an (“Owned”) empty beer bottle off the ground to put it into a trash can.
As someone who hoards everything and doesn’t like to bother with stealing things, I learned quickly that nobody in the galaxy cares about certain items. Disposable cups I get, but everyone is also just fine with you taking all their pens, styluses, notepads, notebooks, folders, plants, pots, pans, and that one desk toy that looks like a bunch of balls stuck together.
I’ve actually never seen an empty beer bottle that was owned before, but I have seen almost identical full bottles right next to them that are, making it easy to steal accidentally if you’re not paying attention.
The same problem thier games have had since 2002 with item ownership, and it’s still in this game?
That’s dumb AF.
At least it’s not like in Morrowind, where if you stole something of a merchant’s, they thought that every other identical item in the world belonged to them as well.
Funny, she left my squad way before we got to any romance options; she didn’t like that my response to being arrested was to blast the cop. I got the same convo seen in the article. I was very disappointed that I wasn’t able to say “If the state wants a monopoly on violence then maybe they should hire someone who is better at it.”
Video game with a divorce system. That’s wild. What’s next, alimony and child custody?
Starfield has starting traits for house payments and payments to your parents. 😬
I laughed way too hard when I saw that option.
In retrospect, it’s actually not that much now that I’m a rich pirate hunter.
The house payment seemed horrifying, I did the parents one. My parents are fucking nice in this game. There’s totally a dialogue option with them where you can tell them you “don’t think you can keep making the payments”, I didn’t have the heart to even quicksave and try it.
