  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has been widely criticized for its poor optimization, with users reporting long loading times and performance issues even on capable hardware. Many feel that it requires significant optimization improvements similar to those seen in titles like Skyrim and Fallout, especially given its role as a mod toolkit. Overall, the consensus is that the game feels unoptimized, particularly at launch.

    • “It feels like the game isn't very optimized, particularly at launch.”
    • “It definitely needs optimization; it takes ages to load everything, and my PC doesn't run on a Pentium.”
    • “We definitely need some optimization tweaks like those found in Skyrim and Fallout.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with Bethesda's decision to disable achievements for cosmetic mods, arguing that these do not impact gameplay. Additionally, there is concern over the diminishing RPG mechanics in recent Elder Scrolls titles, culminating in a perceived loss of content in Starfield.

    • “The RPG mechanics in the Elder Scrolls series have evolved significantly, but some players feel that recent titles have stripped away essential elements that made the gameplay engaging.”
    • “Starfield offers a unique blend of exploration and character customization, allowing players to immerse themselves in a rich universe.”
    • “The gameplay mechanics in Starfield provide a fresh experience, combining traditional RPG elements with innovative features that enhance player engagement.”
    • “At first, it simply started with their RPG mechanics in games being stripped out with each Elder Scrolls game, and now we've reached a point where we even have stripped-out content with a game like Starfield.”
    • “Only request is that Bethesda re-enables the achievement state for 'cosmetic' mods like character appearance or clothing, which, unlike weapon mods, don't affect the gameplay.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story features intriguing quest lines, though it is not as quest-heavy as titles like Skyrim or Fallout. Recent updates have introduced lip sync, which may lead to an increase in quest mods in the future.

    • “The quest lines are very intriguing, though the game is not as quest-heavy as Skyrim or Fallout.”
    • “They recently added lip sync, and quest mods should start popping up pretty soon.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate a growing frustration with the monetization strategies in modern AAA games, particularly highlighting the prevalence of costly microtransactions that some users feel are akin to macrotransactions. There is skepticism about future titles, such as Elder Scrolls VI, with concerns that even a well-received launch could be undermined by aggressive monetization tactics like paid mods.

    • “In the modern AAA gaming scene, we see games plagued with microtransactions so expensive they should now be classified as macrotransactions.”
    • “I firmly believe Elder Scrolls VI is going to be mid at best, and even if it is a fantastic game at launch, you can be sure Bethesda will once again sour it with whatever paid mod or other monetization strategy they cook up next.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users appreciate the ability to modify the atmosphere in the game, as demonstrated by a user who successfully changed the atmosphere of Rana Vi-a from methane to oxygen, enhancing the gameplay experience on Vortex.

    • “I made my first mod last night, changing the atmosphere of Rana Vi-A from methane to oxygen, and it works nicely on Vortex.”
