- Fallout 5 is the next game after TES6
- TES6 is in pre-production

-B New Atlantis is the biggest city Bethesda has made
- No seamless flying

Todd Howard has said that Starfield won't allow you to fly seamlessly from space to its 1,000 explorable planets, saying the feature is "really just not that important to the player" to justify the engineering work involved.

"People have asked, 'Can you fly the ship straight down to the planet?' No. We decided early in the project that the on-surface is one reality, and then when you're in space it's another reality."

Really Todd? Because we've had people salivating over this very prospect in all the build up to (and even after) the gameplay reveal.

So we're going to have loading screens between planets despite this being a next gen only game in 2023?

Maybe the nodding community will find a way around it eventually. One can hope.

'Amid a huge amount of new information on Starfield from the Xbox-Bethesda showcase, likely the most-discussed detail was Todd Howard's announcement that the upcoming sci-fi RPG will include 1,000 fully explorable planets. Howard told us more about the game's approach to procedural generation, what it offers, and assured us that players can ignore them in favour of a huge amount of fully handcrafted content, if they want to.'

So, they are doing procedural for some stuff, I was wondering about this.

Interesting....

ANYTHING?!?!?!

Stole this from some breakdown I saw posted elsewhere.

Procedural vs. Handcrafted: - Once they figured out a good way to just make 1 good procedural planet, it's not as hard as you think to expand that to 1000 planets. They consider the fully procedural planets to be optional. Maybe you just like the view or want to set up a base for example. - They will make it obvious which planets have handcrafted areas and which are fully procedural. - They've done more handcrafting than in any other game they've done.

Story: - Over 200,000 lines of dialogue now (last number they gave was 150,000). - Constellation is still exploring and figuring out mysteries of universe, looking for old earth artifacts. Start of the main story is uncovering artifacts of unknown origin. - Main story is a bit longer than previous games. 30-40 hours main quest. Not including factions or anything else. - Will be doing extra DLC down the line. Very excited for what modders will be able to do as well. - 4 main cities in game. New Atlantis is biggest, and biggest city they've built in any game.

Space Flight: - They're big fans of old space sims. Ship has power systems, 3 different weapon systems, engines, shields, grav drive (FTL). - Pace of the dogfighting is not twitchy. Compared it to Mech Warrior in terms of pace, systems, and power. - You can disable, board, and dock with other ships. - You can steal ships. - There is smuggling. - No you can't fly down to planet manually. You pick a point to land. Early decision they made. Chose to have a separation between surface gameplay and space gameplay.

Character Creation: - 20-ish character backgrounds to choose from. Affects dialogue and options in the game.
 
Just imagine the amount of different builds and approaches this game will offer, I just saw a reverse pickpocket poison build for Skyrim, it's INSANE

Good.

I guess it's not like NMS or even Star Citizen after all 🤭

Major buzzkill in 2023 of space travel. That was one of M ManaByte 's most exciting feature (and mine too).

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

That's some bullshit. Can someone explain this? They did it in Outer Wilds. Bethesda can't do it in a AAA game with an SSD? Bullshit. Okay, a bit of my hype has deflated. Was I wrong all along about Starfield.

Starfield Starfield , what's up with this no seamless flight? As Starfield's number one fan, can you explain how they managed to screw this up?
 
200000 lines of dialogue is insane. When you are in that there's no voiced MC, we're looking at like 3x the dialogue of F4. And people are worried about their not being enough content 😂

It was probably originally cross-gen in the early design phase and lots of legacy in their janky engine won't allow for it with the scope of their gameplay systems.

Seriosuly if all your hype was to land on a planet and not the story or RPG mechanics and story quests you should quit gaming lol

Oh yes, because outside of New Vegas, they're known for Pulitzer engrossing stories. Voice acting to boot! (cues awkward stares and dialogue from Oblivion and Skyrim meme videos).
 
Alot of great Starfield info during that interview. You can dock with other ships, steal other ships, and there are even space stations you can board. There is also smuggling for you Han Solos out there.
