On the other hand, Player and companions all are in a life threatening situation, so it makes sense to speed up the romancing process.

To be fair: these are all new ways to screw up.

Where have I seen this before? Oh, right: Noctis IV (2003, Alex Ghignola): "I’m standing in vacuum atop a dead ravine, idly counting the delicate protrusions of ice that run along the opposite slope. This tiny world surrendered the last of its formative heat to the void eons ago, and the rocks that surround me have not shifted an inch in a billion years. The rapidity of my pulse seems a rude disruption of this most solemn and still of tombs. "But just a few minutes prior, I waded into azure pools beneath a cinnamon sky, while twin stars jostled for attention overhead. And before that, I jet-packed across teeming valleys, watching from high above as birds flitted among trees of crystal. And when I started playing Noctis IV about thirty minutes ago, the first world I set upon was racked by earthquakes and seas of lava, and a hostile atmosphere of pressurized acid sought entry through the joints of my space suit. Taken as a conglomerate, these myriad and disparate worlds are enough to make Rutger Hauer cry all over again; to make Keir Dullea turn away in astonishment and head for home. www.escapistmagazine.com/footprints-in-moondust/ Starflight (1986, Electronic Arts): "One of the most important technical aspects of Starflight was the Fractal Planet Generator, Dave Boulton's hypothesis for creating the game's huge galaxy that was revamped and implemented by Tim Lee, as Johnson explains. "Tim came up with the idea of using fractals and a seed number to generate an entire galaxy, right down to the terrain and individual lifeforms of every single planet. The key was that the information was stored in the algorithm and rules for generation and not the data. In other words, it would be generated the same every time and there was virtually no limit to the size - all you needed was the right rule set." www.eurogamer.net/the-story-of-starflight-eas-sci-fi-sandbox-that-laid-the-way-for-mass-effect

Clarified what? Like let's just address the science with this. Obviously to make the game understandable for children they have to dumb things down to the level of a child, so there are some things that have to be made, one of them is the labeling of the "wait" period. Now ok whatever planet your on you can wait a certain percentage of that planets rotation, so on earth it's 1 hour (about 15-20 degrees rotation), but on Venus each rotation lasts 5,832 hours, so to compensate for the planets different rotations they decided to just label it off and use some "universal time" label. Now that's very weird, but the science behind it is completely accurate. Like in the Venus example to wait a full rotation of the planet it would take 243 earth days and thats what the developer was trying to convey. Tell me what is wrong with this?

Interesting factoid about Venus: although the planet surface rotates very slowly, at a height of about 50km you get earth temperature and pressure, and earth atmosphere would act as a lifting gas. For floating cities at this height the day would be only 4 earth days, because the atmosphere up there rotates faster than the planet.

The writing is really hit or miss depending on who wrote the quest I think. ~Quest Spoilers~ I found a side quest at OC Surplus, The Well, New Atlantis called Lucky Boots. Which despite the name are cursed and bad luck. The owner wants you to take the boots and leave them in a crate in The Den to get rid of them, destroying them will release the bad luck apparently. When you get there some random guy offers to buy them. First I said no, warning him about the boots. But then reloaded my save and said yes, and he is a total jerk, gloating about it saying how he ripped you off. Good with your "Lucky Boots" pal 😅 It would have been even better if he walked off and was electrocuted by a loose power panel or something.

Also, all the level 1 skills should have started unlocked, the game gave me a boost pack and literally had a character tell me to go have fun with it, but for some reason it didn't work! Likewise, early on I'm told to "target the engines to disable the ship" but I can't! Fortunately that ship was scripted to not blow up as it should, but that would've been an excellent chance to tutorial me on how to cripple and board ships.

Thanks! There are some choices and paths locked to each play through. New Game+ changes the reality of the universe with each iteration, which can make for some interesting variation.

You got slightly confused about what a "day" is. The time it takes a planet to rotate about its axis is what we call a "sidereal day". On Earth that's currently about 86164 seconds, or some 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. What we call a "day" ("solar day" in case of the Sol system) instead is the time before the main star of the system passing by exactly north or south of an observer on a fixed point on the surface of the planet. That's what's close to 24 hours on Earth. Venus in particular rotates once about its axis in a bit over 243 Earth days, while its day length is "just" about 116.75 Earth days (that one's shorter because it rotates "backwards", retrograde). Mercury rotates once around its axis in about 56.5 Earth days, while its day length is 176 Earth days. On tidally locked planets (like the Moon is in respect to Earth) the difference is even more striking: The time it takes that planet to rotate once around its axis is exactly the time it takes for it to orbit its system barycentre, typically the main star, while the local day length is essentially infinite.

But the weird artistic or story/relationship choices are Larian's creation. Which can be disagreed with if you don't like the types of interactions they allow thats understandable.

I totally understand why they don't talk about it. Mass Effect completely bypasses it to no detriment. If Starfield had just said, "this is our future" and then not talked about the development of religions then there would be no issue. But to say, "this is our future" and have religion with the absence of anything relevant to our reality shows a disjointed thought process or a weird series of decisions. Just like what happened with Venus.

I don't want to say your criticisms aren't valid. Suspension of disbelief is the first step to allow for enjoyment of something. I just want to answer somethings. I just want to point out some details. I'm not trying to undermined anything you said. Just in case people don't want to see it, and ruin something for themself. *Spoilers* The UC Vanguard Faction missions deal with everything involving the Terrormorphs. This includes their origin and why the colony incident happened and much more. It's fine if you found that to be inadequate. The main antagonizing forces known as starborn are implied to have almost solely been responsible for inspiring those modern religions and are likely the main reason for the eradication of all the other religion. The Starborn on all levels are interfering with human development. One of the major religious leaders on New Atlantis is The Hunter, who is the main villain of the whole story. When you effectively kill all the Starborn it's basically stated that humans now have a chance to develop naturally. ***Really Really Big Spoilers for NG+ and onward*** I'm guessing maybe you don't know that this game is a race to the center of the multiverse, and every time you NG+ certain details can change. The Emissary will use a random voice from one of the 4 romacible companions for example. You will also have a random chance to jump into a slightly different universe, where everyone in the lodge are children, everyone in the lodge is dead, everyone in the lodge is gone, because Constillation was disbanded, things like that. This mostly recontextualizes the main quest and requires you to beat it differently. One of the secret companions is even a parallel universe version of yourself. *End Spoilers* Sorry, I'm not trying to make assumptions that you don't know those things. It's fine if you think the writing sucks. The main theme of the game is one question, "Is it worth throwing away what you have in the name of progress?" It's fine if you think it's all kind of stupid or poorly presented. I just personally enjoyed certain ways that it did armchair philosophy. This is a game where the main appeal is grinding your character into a literal God. Everything else is actually designed around that including the fast travel system. Of course everything gets easy after a certain point. It's a power fantasy simulator with role playing. It's not for everybody.

Bethesda's writing and world building sadly was massively carried by Kirkbride. I can't blame them for having to get rid of him (with the whole LSD thing and all), but it's not been the same since. I'm typically against trash talking any form of artist, but Bethesda's current writing team is just genuinely, seriously bad. Modern Bethesda's world building is just so consistently drab and unintelligent, whilst their character writing is contrived and robotic feeling. Whoever is behind this stuff must be a really nice guy, because plainly Tod is really reluctant to let them go.

Regarding the time issue, Bethesda didn't need to hire a pointy-headed genius. They've already identified and quantified the concept of universal time. They just needed to swap UT and LT (local time) in the interface. That said, you can easily take advantage of this bad interface to force time to pass quickly in the game universe. Land your ship on Venus, take an 8 hour nap, and suddenly months have passed in-universe. This is very helpful to quickly accrue time-gated resources on mining outposts or to reset vendors in certain places.

You bumble into a situation that accelerates the information/understanding on terramorphs further than anything in decades. And look at something like Global Warming, we have largely ignored it for 100 years. And it's MORE dangerous than Terramorphs. The colony wars unleashed aliens, nerve weapons, orbital bombartment etc. MSG had one of the stupidest thigns I have ever seen in fiction, why would you kill millions of your OWN citizens like Zeon did, when you could literally RCS a meteor into earth?

Context is everything. Storytelling in any medium needs internal consistency to maintain immersion and the willing suspension of disbelief. Even where there are exceptions to this rule, the exceptions should be deliberate and meaningful, not arbitrary or unintentional. It's one thing for a property like Star Trek, a setting understood to use logic, physics, or other rules that are different from reality, to say that a branch of humans living on a planet with a day/night cycle that lasts 100 Earth days has evolved to sleep for 50 days at a time (for example). That's consistent with the world of Star Trek. Star Trek also routinely dabbles in time travel, and takes a very loose position on the nature of things like relativity, which is an intentional choice by the creators to avoid writing themselves into corners. They have given themselves the freedom to do whatever serves the story they want to tell, and the audience (mostly) accepts the paradigm presented to them. Even when they go out of their way to violate their own pre-established world building, they make a point of telling the audience, "something unusual is happening right now, this event is significant!" But for Starfield to present itself as 'pseudo-realistic' fiction and then make mechanical design choices that make zero sense _in that context,_ does not appear to be an intentional act of artistic license for the sake of storytelling. It puts unnecessary strain on the suspension of disbelief. Examined in isolation, it's insignificant, but when compared to other design decisions in the game and indeed with the experience the devs say they want to provide, it just feels sloppy. Looked at another way, yes, an artist should have the freedom to make any artistic choices they want. But that doesn't necessarily mean the resulting artwork will be _good,_ where "good" is taken to mean, "effective at providing the audience with the experience the artist intended them to have." Some artistic choices will enhance the intended experience, and some will detract; all these choices will be subjective and highly dependent upon the context in which the audience engages with the art. To answer your initial question more directly, no, art does not need to be "a certain way." But ideally, it _should_ be consistent with what the artists themselves _say_ they're trying to accomplish. Treating video games as art means holding them to the same standards as other types of media, and that's exactly what SPG is doing here. Peace! ✌️

@3rdtimesacharm84 I feel like we talked past each other. My impression from your original comment was that you objected to the *premise* of the SPG video and all the criticisms it made related to what could be considered artistic choices (rather than bad science or lazy design), and that you were using her point about a Venusian hour vs an Earth hour as a single example of your larger point. Is it more accurate to say you found the video's nitpick about planetary time unreasonable, but don't necessarily take issue with SPG's overall criticisms of the game? If so that's my bad for putting words in your mouth, so to speak. Since you commented about Venus I tried to make my own example about a hypothetical Star Trek planet at least somewhat relevant, but I see how that could get us bogged down in the semantics of a single case while ignoring the bigger question of whether or not art needs to be a certain way, which is the part of your comment that piqued my interest. It probably would have been better for me to skip the example entirely and avoid muddying the waters; something for me to keep in mind next time. To be clear, I haven't played Starfield. All I have to go on is what's in this video so do correct me if I'm wrong: Bethesda chose to use the term 'hour' on every planet, making it sound like they meant 'Earth hour,' when in fact they meant 'an hour for the planet you're standing on.' Waiting for one in-game hour while on Venus takes more in-game time than waiting for one Earth hour, is that right?

Technology and religion, or the way people behave, it all still works because it's that world. The problem here is that they're doing things that don't fit into our world.
