I learned this when I was buying beer, walked into a free-standing display, and somehow exploded one of the cans I was carrying. The cashier put the remaining three in a box to clean up and sell later.

There's not even a bathroom in that place. Given the external size of the station, they should have just put a couple inaccessible doors somewhere in there (maybe next to the bar and in the junk corridor) and it would be fine.

They're probably meant to live in one of the inaccessible parts of the big factory building. There's even a whole tower on there. Since it's a company town this would make perfect dystopian sense.

One thing that would have helped immersion in all the cities (and the Den) would have been to schedule the citizens and minor named NPCs to take an elevator to an inaccesible floor with an empty room for a few hours. If they could build all the space for that would be cool, but especially for the unnamed NPCs it might be impractical.

McDonald's has Tim Hortons' old supplier. They don't have the same blend, and probably not exactly the same procedure for brewing it. The McDonald's coffee is much better than Tim's ever was since at least ~2000 when I first tried it.

Interesting. Your comment is the first mention I've seen of that. Their page on global illumination is interesting. On the one hand, their little trailer shows the system displaying more detail than Starfield does, but on the other hand in their last screenshot they failed to build the lighting the same way as the reference photo.

TNG had some movies (bald guy on the poster) and they were written by people who didn’t like the show for people who didn’t watch the show. You have to turn your brain off, but they’re well-directed.

LOL I'm stealing this to use as my IRL description of those films. I wish it wasn't true, but it is.

It looks like they also made it look Roman as a reference to Bread and Circuses.

The arrangement of the music in the restaurant felt more TMP than TNG.

There was some issue with the achievements for those of us who played the early launch. I'm playing the Steam version, but it thinks I never went to space or joined Constellation despite me having them for things like quests and killing 300 creatures.

Because there aren't a lot of Kelseys on TV in the USA. Same reason I get a weird vibe about characters like Liam Shaw. (After the events of PIC season 3 I still think he's punchable.) ... Firefox doesn't think punchable is a word. Firefox is wrong.
