Very true to form for Bethesda. They give the players a bunch of mechanics to play with and then see what happens. Reminds me of the bucket trick in Skyrim where you can put containers on NPC’s heads to block their vision so that you can steal from them. It’s very silly, breaks the game, and ruins immersion, but it’s a single-player game so who cares? Enjoy the silliness if that’s how you want to play.

i didn't know you could steal from anyone in a bethesda game without magic guards knowing through the walls

I recall in Skyrim, chickens could act as a witness to crimes... so you'd have to ensure there were no poultry about or you'd run a fowl of the law.

Ugh. I hate you lol. Take your upvote ..

The only magic like that I know in any Bethesda game is that killing guards raises your bounty even if there are no witnesses. Sometimes picking something up makes "noise" which can get you busted, though.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

IIRC if you aren't seen by the guard that doesn't happen (stealth kills, bow kills)

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You can if said guards have buckets on their heads. Buckets are thicker than walls, duh.

[–] CrowAirbrush@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I used to steal while looking a guard dead in the eyes.

I was at kissing distance while they went: "must've been the wind"

Fun times, silly game.

AI enemy aims for middle, delete the middle!

This has worked since Kingdom Hearts 1. The donut ship just works!

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Came to say the same thing. Donut ships are op. Nearly unhittable.

Wonder if you could design an elegant ship in this style, with a circular void in the center and a long neck and tail.

[–] nicman24@kbin.social 24 points 2 years ago

nice cope cage lmao

Xbox execs claimed Starfield would be Bethesda's least buggy game launch ever

Setting the bar high I see...

[–] rgb3x3@beehaw.org 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

No game breaking bugs so far, but definitely typical Bethesda weirdness.

For example,

  • NPCs getting stuck behind walls or teleporting through doors
  • NPCs flying around and ragdolling in clipped positions
  • Rocks floating around off the terrain (not the gravity anomaly ones)

It's what Bethesda and their engine are known for.

[–] Unaware7013@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Or soft locking quests because an enemy unloaded but the mission requires all enemies to be killed

No game breaking bugs? Lol

My friend cant even get ingame. The game just crashes.

He says its apparently a common issue, after habing searched the internet for a solution.

He has got current gen amd cpu and gpu

Kudos to the designer, M.C. Escher.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

People will always find ways around everything lol

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Imagine the looks when this... thing... lands at a spaceport.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

“Nice ship- uh nevermind.”

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know Empyrion, which looks similiar in functionality. Anyone who knows both, how does Starfield compare to Empyrion?

[–] alphapuggle@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I had high hopes for Empyrion but it blossomed like I had hoped it would. Bought it around 2016 and it still looks basically the same. AI still walks around like they shit their pants and guns feel like I'm shooting with a slide whistle.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 0 points 2 years ago

So Starfield then, once you can get it for $10 and there are hundreds of mods.

[–] SovietyWoomy@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of the donut ship in Kingdom Hearts 2

[–] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
