Well no shit most of us got it for free with gamepass
It came with my ryzen 7800x3d. Didn't even know it until amd sent me an email to a steam code for it.
Only reason I’m playing it. I’m usually not an RPG fan, but I pay for gamepass so I can try these games without buyers remorse.

most of us
Sauce?
Straight outta my ass
But also, there are like 25 million gamepass subscribers, so I'm not surprised if upwards of 10% of them downloaded the new Fallout Scrolls in Space
That's actually a great point
I genuinely want to know how many people actually paid for it, and how many people just downloaded it cause we could. Consider this one vote for "cause I could"

Skyrim’s launch was less impressive than it’s eternal longevity. Released on 11.11.11 and ported to everything but a Texas Instrument's calculator. (Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s been done too, mods included)
Good, the game is fantastic.
I have complaints, but over all I'm having a lot of fun. Pretty typical with any Bethesda game to be honest.
Yeah. Skyrim is my top 5 favorite games of all time but I got issues with that game for sure. It's not perfect. But damn is it a blast.
Feeling the same with Starfield, I got issues, but the core of it is so fun. Having way more fun with it than Fallout 4.
Oh yeah. It definitely has that classic Bethesda jank in many of the normal places, but it still feels good in all the ways that matter. Like you’re finally awake.
You’ll fix every complaint and be able to make every man in the game into a waifu once mods are officially added. It’s gonna be a game I play for the next 5-10 years for sure.
It really is. I can't stop playing it.
Agreed it's not perfect but it slowly sucked me in more and more. Ready for NG+
Fair warning about NG+: Think long and hard about it when you do. That is all.

Knowing Bethesda I decided to start Baldurs Gate and wait for them to iron out the bugs until I’m finished with that
It's honestly a really well polished game and I've only had a very small handful of bug encounters. Its less buggy than curent patches of FO4 and Skyrim
My biggest common Bethesda glitches so far was ONCE, one of the NPCs had the white squares attached to her hair and played miss sparkle for our conversation and then the occasional alien getting caught on geometry and then vibrating because the engine didn’t know what to do. Outside of that it’s been remarkably bug-free so far. Oh, I’m 30 hours in too!
Yeah, i found a couple of crates that decided to co exist in the same location as my most bethesda bug so far. I have had 1 quest fail to progress at one point but a quit out and load an earlier autosave fixed that.
That’s good to hear, and I believe you, but I’ve also been burned by Bethesda many times in the past
I'm over here still trying to finish Elden Ring.
I passed on that one, but took a solid 3 months to beat Tears of the Kingdom

Forget Barbenheimer, I'm going full on Balder's Field and playing both.
So far, Baldur's Gate III seems deeper. Just starting on Starfield.
I'm nearing 100 hours in BG3 and absolutely loving it. I'm not even into the full Act 2 yet, still making my way through the act 1 - act 2 transition/passages.
Choices matter, characters matter, story matters... shit is so fun
I've got Starfield through gamepass just waiting to go but I'm still trying to get motivated to start...
If it helps, you have to put in some work. The first group of missions for the Freestar Rangers has a dialogue option where you can ask for a promotion and the Marshal laughs in your face and tells you to get back to work. That’s like 5 missions in and 3-4 hours. No taking the faction over in a couple of hours.
its kinda wild to me that balders gate 2 was i think 23 years ago and then i suddenly hear about 3
BG3 is definitely the deeper game IMHO.
Starfield has some charm -- it's also got a lot of slog and grind and some serious issues with immersion.
Still existentialism related.
It's on gamepass right? I wonder how these numbers would compare if it wasn't....
I mean, peak on Steam is still lower than Baldurs Gate 3 daily count after over a month since release. So I don't think it's THAT successful, though the numbers are not bad for a single player game.
But for anybody on both game pass and steam, it's cheaper to just play on game pass. That skews the data quite a bit. I'll play it for "free" now and then buy it on steam in 5 years on sale if I ever get the inclination.
The biggest reason I never got into Skyrim or Fallout is because it's not in space.
I also want a medieval game in space
unironically, yes. Give me some Peter F Hamilton Void-esque stuff.
Y'know that would almost make sense tbh. You wouldn't want to be tossing grenades or shooting guns inside a spaceship lol
Haven't tried it yet, too many good games came out recently. It's on my wishlist though so hopefully it goes on Steam sale soon
And it still runs like ass
Not surprised. I'm just trying to decide if I should get an xbox or a steam deck to play it on. Xbox seems like it'll play it better, but portability is rather enticing.
I have it on PC, and performance is really hit or miss on Steamdeck, so I mostly play on my PC. There are some modded quality presets that help, but in the big cities framerate really dips.
If your options are Xbox or Steamdeck, id go for xbox
I bought a Series S specifically for this game and it plays great. I'm typically a Playstation person, but so far I haven't picked up a PS5 because the only game I don't have access to, that I want to play, without a PS5 is FFXVI.

Is it JUST for this game? If it is, then it's fairly even, choose performance or portability. But seriously, get a steam deck, once you realize what an unlock having the entire steam ecosystem in a comfortable portable form factor is, there's just so many games to enjoy.
