Butt-ugly Starfield ship defeats the enemy AI's perfect aim : starfield

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

[-] TRBoom@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 ..

[-] amio@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] CrowAirbrush@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year 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.

I was just wondering what the inside must feel like or how it feels to maneuver, heh. The visibility from the cockpit also seems abysmal. Someone on Reddit did this same concept of exploiting the center mass AI design with a far simpler design. Their ship was essentially a giant L shape, which I feel is more economical and relatively practical.

[-] And009@reddthat.com 16 points 1 year ago

Flying in a giant L.. Huh

[-] mrbubblesort@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Enemies need to learn to just take the L

[-] KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Mine is a normal ship with a pillar that goes straight up, and then branches off backwards and sideways. I really hate the space combat. Give me Star Citizens space combat any day.

[-] SinkingLotus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I have a feeling there is no walking when using that ship. Just enter or leave the cockpit directly via fast travel.

AI enemy aims for middle, delete the middle!

[-] flames5123@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

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

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

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

[-] there1snospoon@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

nice cope cage lmao

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 23 points 1 year ago

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

Setting the bar high I see...

[-] rgb3x3@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 1 year ago

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

[-] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

Kudos to the designer, M.C. Escher.

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

People will always find ways around everything lol

[-] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

“Nice ship- uh nevermind.”

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] alphapuggle@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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

[-] SovietyWoomy@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of the donut ship in Kingdom Hearts 2

[-] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

L m a o that’s awesome
