MODERATORS
I've got almost 300 hours in No Mans Sky, the majority of it pre-Atlas-Rises (completely off-topic, but I was pretty sad when they regenerated the universe for Atlas Rises as it got rid of some incredibly pretty planets I'd found and documented, and it's sad that those worlds straight-up don't exist anymore). Scanning all the fauna and flora on planets was always my favorite thing to do, so I'm stoked to see similar creature scanning in Starfield. (plus confirmation in the scanning UI of planets having multiple biomes!)
I tend towards the completionist side of things so I'm really gonna have to not even try to fully scan all 1k planets... 😅
I'm also thinking of letting the scanning help inform my first character - eg. start off with traits and background that fit the whole "planetary explorer" vibe.
I think for me it's the roleplay. So few games let you tell your own story the way Bethesda games can. I've been playing Skyrim religiously for almost 12 years now. Being your own character, deciding what/who that character is... I can't wait.
do you have any ideas what kind of character you’ll be on your first playthrough?
I feel like I generally play a “meta” character my first time though any game because I’m not ready to restrict the sort of choices I’m making. I think knowing a game better also helps in knowing which choices I could make to shape a later character in specific directions.
I wish Bethesda released their character creator early the way some MMOs do. :P
I pretty much always have a default style for my characters in RPGs (at least for the first run), and it usually revolves around being able to talk my way out of situations where I can, so I will beeline towards the persusasion traits ASAP.
The idea of being a smart-mouthed space smuggler that can also fight their way out of trouble is just so appealing to me. And yes, I know I've just created Han Solo.
Huh, i want to go the other way. Taciturn, not very chatty, shoot first and dont bother asking questions. Have a plan to kill everone you see. Like, a sociopathic Chewbacca.
Well, yeah, that's probably going to be my second playthrough haha
