TODD HOWARD IN THE AUDIENCE JUST. SEETHING WITH HATRED
Don't steal in space!
77% chance to avoid contraband detection fails... Decides to pay the fine and forfeit all stolen items... Re-spawns in UCNA Precinct lobby in underwear and baseball hat since I forgot that my character's outfit was stolen too. 🤦
duuude can we talk about heller. i wish there was more content for him genuinely. his backstory is so fun. he's got like a million brothers who he helped raise after his dad walked out, he grew up collecting rocks on some obscure moon settlement town, he got bullied for being such an avid rock collector so his amazing mom read a whole book on it practically overnight just so he could talk her ears off about them and she would understand. he desperately wanted off new homestead and took the job with argos so he could work with what he loves and travel, but he still visits his family as much as he can and writes them more. he is lins favorite despite being a pain in the ass forever. he cannot handle a hostage situation. he was genuinely going to just die injured and alone on some freezing planet at one point and his first thought was to get really high on painkillers to make it more bearable. he's so fun
game of the decade
You playing Starfield yet? If so what's your take?
Sadly i haven't, i'm stuck on ol'reliable Xbox One and i can't afford a Series S or X right now. From what i have seen is not the marvelous thing that was Skyrim at release, but it isn't also Fallout 76 so a good game overall.

I think a huge part of the failure of Starfield, besides the fact of its lack of design documents (And Pagliarulo in general as outlined by PatricianTV on Youtube) is the complete and utter failure of aesthetic. The Elder Scrolls has very clear aesthetics unique to every culture, and fallout has a very prominent casette futurism and retro sci fi aesthetic, but I think in an effort to avoid comparisons to fallout they completely scraped all the aesthetic personality out of the game.
Like think about it. They say "nasapunk" but what does that mean? And it can't just be the fact that they're still using no.2 pencils. The ships, though they have subtle elements of outdated nasa technology, look absolutely nothing like anything NASA would have made. It's so bad that people don't even realize it's going for an aesthetic at all beyond Red Dead Redemption and Cyberpunk 2077.
They just like, have absolutely none of the recognizable nasa iconography. They have no rovers or unmanned craft, they have no separating pieces of a ship in space. I know it would have limited the ship building but the least you could do is attach the ship to a vertical rocket a la space shuttle. They could have a separating bit of the ship you can use to land like the moon lander, and it wouldn't be hard to implement, just make every cockpit double as a moon lander.
And the suits. The outfits. Good god they are all awful. Like I get that adding "punk" to the aesthetic means it becomes more stylized but it shouldn't be so much so that it's unrecognizable as the "nasa" part of that term.
I know this might tickle some feathers, but in past content Destiny 2 did an incredible job with that aesthetic already. In the now removed location "Titan" there used to be a "golden age" research base that kind of looks like a space oil rig, and EVERYTHING from that location just screams nasa, from the armor you can get there to the design of the habs, how buildings are connected by airlocks with that cool crinkly foil looking stuff on them, it's amazing. Even Bungie was able to beat Starfield at its own game when they tried ONCE like five years ago or something
This stuff is from the shadowkeep expansion, which is less "nasapunk" and more "moon's haunted." You literally go around talking to ghost astronauts, but the NASA influences are much more clear here than in Starfield

Having some fun with Star Wars mods! I turned the Crimson Fleet into Mauldalorians :3

So I've made a post some time ago about how Starfield has a complete failure of design and lacks a clear aesthetic like Bethesda's previous games had. They claim to be "Nasapunk" but the ships in the game look nothing like anything Nasa has ever made.
With that in mind, I've made an Actual Rocket Ship to the best of my ability with the game's vanilla creator!
