Starfield is a 2023 action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. In the game, the player character joins a group of space explorers who must venture to various corners of the galaxy to acquire mysterious artifacts. The game features an open world in the form of an area within the Milky Way galaxy, containing both fictional and non-fictional planetary systems.
Starfield takes place in a space-themed setting, and is the first new intellectual property developed by Bethesda in 25 years. It was described by director Todd Howard as "Skyrim in space". Like Bethesda's previous games, it was powered by the Creation Engine, though it was heavily modified to accommodate the game's procedural generation system. Active development of the game started following the release of Fallout 4 in 2015.
Announced in 2018, Starfield was delayed several times. The game was released for Windows and Xbox Series X/S on September 6, 2023. It received generally positive reviews from critics, with particular praise for its open world, setting, and soundtrack, though its story and exploration were divisive.

    that first mod was very easy to understand, idk how Luke could be so dense lol. all the mod does is add 10 points to your health for every modified part of the gun when equipped, so if you only have the gun without any of the added gun upgrades you only get 10 health points, but if you add another part on the gun you get an additional 10 points added to your health pool, so now your health jumped up 20 points, and if you add any other thing to that gun it adds to that value ten points every new item you add. how is this so hard to understand?

    ok the 3rd mod is actually kind of cool, i'm not a huge fan of going to that space station to get the missions, when this could just be some kind of communication using a terminal on your ship so instead of going to the location of the ship you have a remote access to this menu that processes these bounties, there is a mod in FO4 that works like this called "guns for hire", it allows you to make a physical location but it comes with a holo tape that allows you to interface with your bounty agency without always having to go back, so you can access the terminal from anywhere in the game instead of a set location, the set location you must unlock first to get the holo tape, but it's not needed for the vast majority of missions. i want to see more mods in starfield that do something like this, perhaps he could also make them time sensitive and the ability to track multiple of these quests to get them done.

    LISTEN TO THIS--- Remnant 2 had a $20 DLC package. You got THREE DLC's, each one a completely new place to explore. Each one had new weapons, armor, enemies, bosses, and lots of new rings and amulets. EACH one would take about 5-10 hours to complete and over 15-20 hours (each) if you wanted to find all the new gear and items. So about 60+ hours of content with hundreds of new items and many new bosses and areas. ---Elden Ring has a DLC that is $40 and has over 50+ hours of content (or more). 10 new main bosses. OVER 100 NEW WEAPONS. Completely new world. New tailsmans. New armor. New enemies. ALL NEW CAVES (which are 5x better than the base game). All new story. Plus it has TREMENDOUS replay value. So who in the world would ever pay for Starfields mods and these $7 missions that only take 30 minutes and have ZERO replayability. lol! Be smart people.

    They also try to hide what renowned modders have said months ago: Starfield is irreparably broken, simply because it has run headlong into the limitations of the Creation Engine. All updates, patches and now these paid mods, are all just cosmetics and at best small error and/or glitch fixes. The main problem, the endless stream of loading screens, simply can't be fixed because it's caused by how the Creation Engine works. The procedurally filled planets can be slowly fixed over time by adding more actual content, but that's about it.

"How can we take this engine of immense creativity and monetize it?" They thought to themselves. And hence "Paid mods" were born. What the fools don't realize is that they were "monetizing" it from the start, because it was pushing sales of their product. Now the dumbasses are going to ruin both and tank their brand along with it. This is what happens when incompetent people are in charge.

    To be fair I've seen some mod makers asking for money, but they're also putting out insane quality and just being straight up that they can't afford to do it for free. I would HAPPILY pay for DLC quality content if they need that kind of support to put out high quality work, because you can tell some of these modders fucking love the games they mod and work so hard. Bethesda is just greedy as fuck, demanding money for the bare minimum. Anyone who bought this game is either feeling heavy regret or is a total chump.

They just abuse your belief that modders are paid for the fair work, which is *technically true*, but not really. It's almost on the level of Blizzard putting cap on charity donations and "keeping the change".

    There was nothing next-gen about it. All it did was break all of the mods, including the Script Extender and also delayed the launch of Fallout: London. They just wanted the brownie points for having released something for the game that promoted the TV show and vice versa. They've been doing the same thing with Skyrim as well recently. They just wanted to release more paid mods but in doing so broke the long standing version of the script extender and almost all of the plugins of the script extender were broken. Some of the authors of said plugins have moved on to different things and so they've pretty much permanently damaged the modding scene. You can try to get an earlier update and try to put together a loading order again but it's just a hassle. The modding community has made several times the contributions of what Bethesda did, in my view. Sure they did develop the game but the moddability of the title is what keeps an active player after all of these years. That said, Bethesda has taken them for granted with everything they do and yet they don't even add new features with their newer titles to the creation kit but they also make it harder for creators to keep up with their useless updates. Still, you will hear them say how a mod will be made that reworks the UI to what it actually should have been, or adding a feature that was originally going to be put in but the developer decided to hold back since he felt that someone would make a mod for it. They are so lazy and complacent that it is infuriating.

    @@cassieudy5718 No, their writing wasn't always like this. Daggerfall for example has one of the most intricately crafted main questlines in gaming history. (The side-quests are kinda meh, but the gameplay loop is the best in the series.) (Though it was 1996 and the presentation couldn't keep up with the writing back then, and it wasn't all executed flawlessly.) It's incredibly well written. Most of the Elder Scrolls lore that everyone loves is from that game. The main quest is non-linear and immersive. (Though pretty much nobody but me and a few other people have beaten it. Daggerfall is hard as hell, and you kinda actually have to be a detective to complete the main quest. Because that's your job. You're an Imperial agent.) Morrowind ALSO has fairly solid writing throughout. Though just like Daggerfall it's not always consistent, or well executed by the technology. Oblivion has its moments. Some of it is quite good. But Oblivion is where Bethesda's writing and world-building really began to noticeably falter. (Still a great game, and so is Skyrim. But they've definitely been going progressively downhill.

    No, they don't. They just don't respect them and they only care about their shareholders. But tbf, the Bethesdrones have proved that whether they enjoy or complain, they will buy either way. If it was more profitable to make better games, they would. And re: voting with your wallet, there are metrics that show that happy whales out-vote you by an insane margin. Buckle up, there is more downhill coming. But fear not: Matt will be there to sweep it up and tell you that it's okay to be excited this new time.

    The thing is I think the community is genuinely on board with the idea of a method of mod creators making it a job. It's just the execution is not great to say the least. 10 bucks was how much Automatron was and that was a whole unique questline, new enemy types, as well as hours worth of robot building. The Mariners Module doesn't even have as much content as any single FO4 workshop dlc. I understand it genuinely might take a lot of work that we don't realize, but A. If it's content from Bethesda it feels like a straight up slap in the face, and B. Some of these are wild asking prices for what amounts to flavor.

    The reason I'm making mods for Starfield is to build a portfolio so I can apply to become a verified creator and get paid. If there is no way to make money by modding, anyone who can get paid elsewhere will leave and only mod authors with no other opportunities will remain, resulting in a chaotic mess of low quality broken and imbalanced mods like Skyrim. The creation club encourages talented creators to stay in the community by rewarding them for their time, increasing the overall quality of mods on offer.

    You hit the nail on the head, although you're being awfully nice about it. You'd think that a game reviewer would check, you know, his health (in the sub-UI that lets you check both health and effects), before and after equipping an item that supposed to buff, you know, your health. He burns minutes with boring ship traversal and his own mistakes during reviewing that single room addon (which he continues burning time on while reviewing the pirate habs). Very low payoff/attention-cost ratio with this reviewer. 46 minutes for things that deserved around 15. He mangles the beginning of the follower review, too, and doesn't even check to see if her helmet got recreated in her inventory. Doesn't warn about the huge steaming spoiler pile he ruins the Tracker mod with, although the note about not being able to reload the gun (yet?) is at least useful. His selection of mods to review is fine. But this video should have been under 15 minutes, and the general lack of respect of viewers time - and dislike of unwarned spoilers - means I'm not likely to watch anything from him again. 4/10.

    Except even if you pay for mods on console, as it currently stand only 25% of your money goes to the actual mod creator (granted the mod wasn't created by BGS themselves). So even in that case, the modder receives minimal support. BGS takes a 75% cut on the purchase. And you can buy tokens with which you buy mods only in specific packs designed to make you spend more money than you needed to. You can't spend only 10$ on a mod, you need to buy 13$ worth of tokens to buy that 10$ mod.

    20:18 "I think that engine is supposed to be flipped the other way" - no its a break engine.. Its just cosmetic. but... it is something you could see on a real spaceship. since there is no air resistance in space you can only break and stop by burning your engines in the opposite direction of that which your flying. real space craft performs a "flip and burn" maneuver.. and then have RCS (Reaction Control System) thrusters for fine maneuvering - which makes little puffs. - The break engines is a purely cosmetic item in the game.. but they do fire when you break.. which is a neat little touch if you ask me.

They definitely haven't made anything to the same standard since, but before then they made Morrowind, Oblivion and FO3 - all great games. Bethesda are incredibly fortunate to have their modding community and should very much appreciate the modders, but the argument that their games wouldn't be popular without mods is simple-minded and juvenile. Tons of players have played their games without even the slightest hint of modding and enjoyed them immensely over the last couple of decades, and many still do, including myself. Also, if the games were bad, there wouldn't even be a modding community of this size in the first place. It's a testament to the fundamental quality of (most of) their games that people are so passionate about creating mods for them.

    Bethesda got lazy with development, and realized they could monetize the game and assign the work to modders while Todd & Co. raked in the profits. Creativity and quality exploration went out the window. I put over 100 hours (yeah, I know) into the game and came away realizing I've been had. I think there is a reason they waited six days until releasing this to the general public. They knew the game was garbage, half baked, and would tank after a few weeks. And it did. Why? The game is boring. The writing is crappy. Bugs galore, and the loading screens... this isn't 2011 anymore, Todd. Yet Bethesda fanboys will defend this flaming dumpster fire to the death.

TBF the CC isn't nearly as predatory about this as a lot of gacha/F2P games are since it looks like everything is purchased and spent in increments of 100, but you can see that when you bought the stuff you wanted to test you were still left with 300 credits.

No. Especially since there is no guarantee a mod works and what happens if it doesn't? can we refund it? How does all that work? If they are going to charge for their work they are all putting in the work to make sure all these mods are all compatible with each other, right? Or are they at least making a complete list of compatible and incompatible mods (at least paid mods) so you know what you can and can't use at the same time before buying it? No, none of that is being done and I'm not about to pay to find out a tiny ramen stand conflicts with the tiny homeless tent mod and it crashes every time so now I have paid for mods I can't use with no warning. You can pirate mods even easier then you can pirate a game. This is how I'll be dealing with this if it starts happening in games I actually care about. Nexus gives us mod authors ways to get paid, you can use patreon, etc. But four dollars for a ramen stand is stupid and just no.
