The memes are shit but free

I love the puzzle, mystery and the massive quantity of items is a blessing. I want to be able to manage that well. ie let me tag items with custom labels and a send to my “possible puzzle items” chest, or my “tank gear” chest etc…that is all I want. This is the only thing that is holding back from a perfect 10. Edit: You could even in game rgp it by allowing the hire additional wagon(s) holding your traveler’s chest(s)…idc just give me custom labels

It’s not inventory Tetris at least or even an issue of a carrying capacity (because you can right-click and send items to camp at anytime)…it’s issue is the massive amount of items you accumulate and the difficulty of properly organizing/grouping and finding them. Sorting by stats & abilities is next to impossible…so your characters most likely are not equipping the best suited gear…and the potions, ingredients, scrolls…
30 of those 70 hours were spent on loading screens. Seriously though, it takes time to give the game a chance and with all they hype behind it, I thought I was missing out on something and kept telling myself “maybe it’ll start getting good after this mission” …I wasn’t missing anything, it was the game that was lacking

I’m not comparing it to one specific game but I’ve been playing video games for close to 40 years…and this was not ready for release. The “cities” are empty and lifeless. The main characters are bland, un-engaging, and feel like emotionless copies of one another. The voice lines and dialog outcomes do not enhance the immersion but take away from it because the choices have no effect on the situations. I’ve have to revert to older saves because followers would no longer follow or stay assigned to post/ship. Inventory management is abysmal especially if you’ve ever tried selling a ship lol. Outposts & supply lines are broken and need to be “rebuilt” often just to work as intended…But that’s ok because there is nothing to do with the resources you’ve been stockpiling. The skill perks have no originality and are shallow even by Bethesda standards. Want to sell items at the Crimson Fleet? That’ll be 4 load screens for you to jump through…I could go on but I’m tired of doing the beta testing work
There is so much potential for Starfield but this is not a complete game and should have been pushed back. This shouldn’t be considered ‘standard’ for releases; it is ‘early access’ in its current state.

Yes, it is a lifeless game in its current state. The framework is there, but everything has the feel of a shopping mall that’s going to be torn down in couple months EDIT: a screenshot of New Atlantis
It does help those on the fence make a more informed decision whether to purchase or not. Just whitewashing with only positive reviews and comments is misleading and stifles innovation. Trolling and opinions without examples suck and should be ‘downvoted.’
BG3 has plenty of bugs but has glowing reviews for a new game. People should be able to voice their opinions without attacking other users and receive the same in return.
I have put in over 50 hours and enjoy this game, but would definitely NOT recommend it to someone who isn’t familiar with Bethesda’s other titles.

It’s just a clunky reskin of fo4 with no depth. I’ve put about 50 hrs in at this point & will probably continue for a bit because it’s a comforting loot cycle that pleases my lizard brain. It really lacks the feeling exploration possibilities that Skyrim & fallout worlds have. The bugs, UI, bland emptiness, and shit tier maps are why I wouldn’t recommend…but is a decent time kill if you’ve enjoyed their previous games
