I'm pretty hyped for this game. I love space RPGS and haven't had something cool since Mass Effect.

[–] Aermis@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

This is Bethesda. There's no way it'll be anywhere near as refined as mass effect.

But that means this will be more fun. I love me some Bethesda bug chaos. And mods.

I also love space RPGs. SWTOR was pretty great. It's an MMO, but it has good single player. The Knights of the Fallen Empire/Eternal Throne DLCs are basically single player games and they're really good quality. The KOTOR games are also really great, if a bit older and KOTOR2 was basically unfinished and requires mods to make it even feel 80% finished.

Outer Worlds was okay. It certainly does in some ways feel similar to Fallout in space. But not quite as good and I don't recall being aware of any serious modding scene.

But huh, I thought there'd be more, but I'm struggling to think of space RPGs with a feel like Mass Effect or Elder Scrolls. I'm really looking forward to this, too, cause despite being a buggy mess, I love Bethesda games and I also love sci fi (especially in space).

Not an RPG, but I also love Stellaris. It's a strategy game, but really scratched that hyper advanced sci fi and space exploration itch.

I really liked the Mass Effect Series, it's no Freelancer or Freespace but if Starfield even feels a little bit like what No Man Sky was doing it should be good. Fallout series and TES proves it will be buggy but fun.

I asume you've tried Elite Dangerous. Why didn't you like that?

[–] jon 1 points 1 year ago

I played the original Elite on the BBC, and then Elite 2 & 3 on the Amiga. Elite Dangerous on the PC was just plain dull by comparison.
