I wasn’t planning on playing this on release… but then I booted up my gaming OS on Friday and there it was, ready to be downloaded. So I did.
Think the game will be good, but Bethesda games are usually quite the time pit and I only have two nights per week that I can actually play (so it’s going to take forever to finish).

But wait, we are now part of a political bloc that contains almost all of the countries on the CIA watchlist. We will be infamous enough soon to warrant our own release gaming schedules :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Planning on dropping a pc by someone who has real internet, to download this monstrous game. Oh the hoops we jump through for the distant promise of fun :hear_no_evil:

So I’ll be booked off for a week after surgery on the 13th which means that, depending on how I’m feeling, I might be getting in some quality gaming time to play this. So maybe a whole week during the day while the wife and kids are away. I haven’t had that kind of gaming time since I was single over a Easter weekend.

Okay it’s a crafted music video, but still, it’s starting to look like we may have something special here.

That is looking amazing! I’m going to have to uninstall Dirt Rally 2 to make space for all the screen shots and video clips :smiley:

In the absence of anything official, and with a couple of days to go before the Early Access start, found a couple of fan-made tools to mess around with. Obviously both are heavily WIP and subject to being inaccurate:

Character Build Planner & Calculator
This one is based on Character Backgrounds and Traits that have been revealed in various places.

Starfield Ship Builder
Very finicky to work with, but still a decent tool to play around with. Especially considering the lack of detailed ship info that has been made available. Does give an insight into the huge potential for ship mods to come in the future though.

I think the only things I’ve seen or know about this title are from the E3 content. Not that I have purposefully been avoiding it, just haven’t had time or interest over the past few weeks.

PSA: If you’re wanting to avoid having things spoiled before you get in the game…

The review embargo lifts at 18:00 this evening. Every game and tech site, publication, channel, and creator will be flooding your feeds and inboxes.

Additionally, a number of streamers and reviewers have been given permission to livestream their gameplay at the same time.

This is a full 8 hours before the Early Access public release time for the game. Tread lightly as you navigate the strands of the web.

I’ll try and only post links to spoiler free reviews that focus on performance, general mechanics, and the like primarily for those that are interested to learn if the addition of the Xbox QA team has helped BGS beat their traditional out the box bugginess.
