Did the story have any type of satisfaction in the end? 

Eh, that's a hard call to make since the level of story telling in this game is kind of like Dark Souls + a bit more. I will say there is a a twist or two with the ending though. 

Beat my 1st run last night, and have been working to upgrade Dragon's Bite and Dragon's Flight today. I need one more fell lord bone for the bite, still hunting for another bone lord.

Warrior is fucking great! Uppercutting Ogre’s in the face with a massive sword is extremely satisfying. 

Yup, I switched to warrior and combat got much better! While slow, the get knocked down far less often and that makes a huge difference when the screen gets crowded with a blend of ground based and airborne enemies. I'm using the thunder hammer, but might try out a sword tonight.

I'm nowhere near house buying status. I'm trying to find a boy taken by wolves or something.

I currently have 178K, sell everything that is common and get that house as soon as you can! I basically maxed out each type of common items in my storage chest and now sell anything new that comes into my inventory. 

This game is in my veins! I'm level 34 and having to go to work like an adult this morning was some serious bullshit. 

Rick! (my default name for all hero type characters) and side kick Cat man, Hobbs are now level 23. Current state of neck beard, about a 1/4"...

Counterpoint, trump wins Ukraine can forget them ever having support again.

Absolutely true! As always there is a sensible world, which is of course science fiction, and there is a mad world called Earth. In a sensible world, this issue wouldn’t be in play, but here…

It's not the first time they've done this. 

And it won’t be the last!

lol I can’t believe Capcom really did make a big deal about it being dlss3 then shipped without frame gen working yet.

 

I guess I’ll wait for a mod…

 

 

..ok the mod is out. Puredark stays earning my $5/mo!

This one is even free! 

Hey, I know you guys are fighting for your country and all, but could you do it like, in a more chill manner because we have elections coming up and it would really be inconvenient to our narrative, cool? Thanks buds, we knew you would understand!  -Uncle Sam's civilian liaison 

Some context on this article. These quotes were taking from a recent DDC. The point was to discuss the challenges game designers face. To read the title of this somewhat click bait article, you might think a current Bethesda employee was basically saying, LOL we threw this bad boy together, because you know it only takes 5 minutes when you only have 5 minutes! That is not the case, but what was said mirrors points other developers have shared across the industry, pointing to some questionable project management, bad timelines, possible cultural upheaval, and just general business fuckery.

I also just think that frankly, space as the stage for this game, broke with this team's ability to do what they have historically excelled at, namely creating a fun sandbox RPG that just so happens to have a story...kinda. Starfield has a solid game in the bowels of its terrible interplanetary travel system and shyte UI. The scope of it served to dilute the impact of the story rather than enhance it. People are truly afraid for the next Elder Scrolls, but I'm not that worried, aside from the very real possibility that we will likely not see it until 2028. All anyone wants is more, and prettier Skyrim, with a very mod friendly box of code. Bethesda is certainly capable of delivering that! 

I played just the intro sequence before leaving for work this morning. Its going to be a good weekend!

Musk knows so little about so many topics he speaks so confidently about, I’d rather take advice from @ohioguy24 on a random subject than Elon.

France really fucked this one up. 

Fortunately this is the first and only time the French have left an unstable power vacuum. 

Stating an opinion by asking a question is rather high on my list. Examples: 

Is grinding in RPGs a waste of your time? 

Is Kingdom Hearts the best JRPG ever?

I'm contemplating playing this at midnight like a true junkie. 

3 extra hours of gaming time tonight = laggy 16 hours the next day. This math stopped working for me past 40. 

Looks great visually, though I would say many SC developed games have the same clean grandeur to their aesthetic, so this isn't much of a surprise. I've grown weary of MMOs, but until I see game play and systems explained, I won't  write this one off.

   Bought Street Fighter 6. The plan is to invest some time into this this weekend.......Fingers crossed it's as good as most are saying on these boards!

I expect you to be playing on Steam deck while seated in your new car!

Well until recently he was consistently rubber stamping Biden's judicial appointments...

He does do a LOT of considering! 

Starfield, for me, did not have the simple fun magic of of either an ES game or a FO game. It felt somehow overly processed and half baked at the same time. Its not a bad game, its just not a great game. 

He is consistent and he does suck.
