Putting a bounty board on the ship is a great idea as well, it helps with bugs as well as there are a few that are related to high bounties, have lost 1 character to this recently. I would however still pop an outpost on a level 75 planet and farm the bounties for gear and have a bounty board there as well, as well as a Constellation board, they need spreading over the entire system really and they do only have a limited amount to give then completely stop from my testing. I do find the FC bounties to be the best for gear though but they are luck of the draw and bounty boards to have a limited coded into them for range anyhow so I have learned from someone who is making a mod currently.

I started a new game from fresh nothing yesterday. So far i like being able to adjust the game settings to suit my style. Extra carry weight and vendor credits for some sleep and food/healing options changed around to my liking. I'm around 3% over normal xp currently

My favorite playthru of Skyrim was a modded version that had all the survival options on. I’m looking forward to trying that out in this game. I want to feel some difficulty and want enemies to not be bullet sponges.

Nice update 👍

I really enjoyed this video im sending a sub❤❤❤

I'm immediately setting the damage so me and enemies deal maximum damage to each other. I always get a mod for that in Fallout and Elder Scrolls. It makes combat so much more fast-paced and frantic when you can kill enemies very fast, but if you don't they'll kill you just as quick.

Quite a significant improvement. I hope they continue to work on the game.

i love every single new addition. Hopefully the cars will come soon

Every NG+ adds more damage to you and less damage output to a maximum of 100% against and 50% output at NG+10, so Extreme with these modifiers will just be insane. It is good they allow you to change the damage for Ship combat but again it goes up as you go to NG+10 as well. A guy on Reddit has posted it all in detail, a few months ago but it's basically as they say as you become The Hunter, the less powerful you become even though your Starborn powers go up if you go to all the Temples every time you enter the Unity.

Around the eleven minute mark, you're referring to alien stir fry's stat increase from the setting change, but you unintentionally, I assume, used alien stew in the comparison shot. For future science endeavors you could use tdetect to stop npc aggro, the respective console Ids with placethere to put npcs where you want them, and forceav speedmult 0 to keep them stationary. You could then set variables like their armor, hp, and other resistances as necessary for testing purposes. Keep up the great work and thank you for doing these tests so we don't have to. lol

@Dantics

Ай бұрын

Thanks! That's actually some useful info. I just had a play around and it seems like I'm reaching similar results. Would have been helpful to test enemy damage though. But it does seem like the setting mostly improves their 'aggression' more than their actual damage.

Great video breakdown! The only thing I want and need to adjust is,extreme because I like being able to handle the toughest enemy situations except SHIP COMBAT RENDERS ME BUT HURT 90% of the time! I’m SOO happy that now I can possibly even out the ship combat ratio so I can maintain extreme difficulty without having to keep switching to normal or even easy sometimes! My one and only legendary battleship encounter ended in sheer disaster, as I couldn’t even handle it switching difficulty to very easy made little to no difference! Hopefully this is remedied now. 😳🤦🏻‍♂️🙄/👌✌️🤲☝️😉

My fav difficulty system is from GhostReacon Breakpoint. You can get realistic where every shot causes you to injure and 5 shots or so would kill you, same for the enemy. You can also get very chill where you're basically a killing machine that can wipe out the entire camp yourself. The good add-on to this is, you can play with others with totally different settings together. The only exception is the raid mode. The current one we just got in Starfield is a welcome addition, but I still don't get why you would get punished or rewarded for wanting to customize your experience.

I'm glad to see what should've been in from release

@@skyriminspace You're a masochist.

It's probably an oversight that you can fully disable "Combat Affliction Gain" (-3% XP) and "Environmental Damage & Afflictions" (-2% XP), but still choose the hardest setting for "Affliction Treatment" (+6% XP), "Affliction Prognosis" (+5% XP) and "Environmental Damage Restoration" (+4% XP), whichs nets you overall +10% XP without drawbacks. The new setting for "Environmental Damage Restoration" can actually be good for "Bloodied builds" (if you are familar with Fallout 76) as you can now lock your health bar in a state to always benefit from the Wanted trait and Cornered legendary weapon effect. Without this option this was not possible as with the default setting you automatically heal Environmental Damage.

Also, need to say: I've wanted this aspect in Fallout 4's survival mode and will be excited to see if this customizable difficulty carries over to ES6 and FO5.

I'd been avoiding leveling the powers part of the game because it made me way too OP. A legendary beowulf and inflictor was all I needed to clear baddies.

Great vid, thanks for the detailed breakdown of the new options. Curious to know if "Cargo Access Distance" impacts resource access at workbenches. For example, if I use the workbenches in the Lodge, can I still use resources from my ship or do I need to have the resources in my inventory?

If you have an xp crafting farm this is great, when mass producing items just jack the 75% xp boost along with sleep and any other booster you can think of, I was making over 570+ xp per stack

Do people like the fact that changing difficulty changes XP gains? I think I like it because I like the small reward for making things harder, but I can also see that people don't want to be punished for customizing.

I wonder if they'll do something about stealth indoors vs outside If you have a stealth build it seems like you are literally unseeable outside.... But inside you are literally seen very fast.

If they continue doing updates like these, maybe it will be enjoyable in a few years. I have sunk 82 hours in this and at NG+2. Still haven't found a reason to go back yet. Not even this update unfortunately. Looking forward for better starfield though.

Would've been nice to have these some of these options in game, via upgrades to ship, or player

You can put bounty clearance terminals in your ship now! That’s it! YES!

My primary system is currently in for repair, so it'll be a while before I can play again. That said, the only food buff I cared about was Persuasion (Booze and Pheramones) and EXP%, and I had to max out the Food skill tree to get any increase to XP at all. This update has rendered that +2~3% buff nearly pointless, while making Food Healing finally viable. I have mixed feelings. But as long as my Console created Super Cutter (Rapid Fire, Extended Clip, Titanium) still works, and I can still set my destination universe during the credits, I'll be fine. ...and now I wonder how many Mods this broke...

loving this update but I wish we could do a full respec on NG+

A couple of questions: 1. Building inside the ship: does this work on Starborn Guardian ship? I.e. can you add a bed to your Starborn ship? 2. Previously, the difficulty setting affected drop rate of legendaries. How does that change when you can set the difficulty for different aspects?

May you plz make a new vermintide 2 video with a guide on how to use all the new classes. Your vermintide videos are the best.

Ohhhh this is looks like they finally finished the game.

Food buffs and debuffs are great but how often do you have to eat and drink?

Interesting , Thank You . .Sadly I upgraded last night , now I can't move stuff to my ship? So I started over

This game went from a 5/10 to a 7.5/10 and thats a huge improvement. Now we just need new story content!!

I hope they add more outposts, caves, etc to the random generation. Maybe some derelict ships, stations, etc.

It's a single player game. Changing your difficulty shouldn't impact your xp either way.

Will have to chose some health perks

This is how the game should have been in the first place

Regarding the Enemy Damage setting, while the damage per bullet may be the same, it sounds like the damage *per sec* has gone up if they are firing more and hitting more, so I think the Enemy Damage label is still generally accurate.

@Dantics

Ай бұрын

Agree but I would have rather it say 'aggression' or something to really highlight the fact there is more to it than just a damage bump

Does the internal ship designer allow you to pick where ship doors/ladders are placed between habs (when more than on option is available)? ❤

"without exact health values i have to work with pixels" May i introduce to you: The "Getav Health" command Anyways good video overall, i couldn't get the damage numbers of extreme through the method i expected would work (getgs) because the variables are changed and i couldn't find the new ones, so seeing the damage numbers extreme has was nice. Although i will make a correction on the difficulty section, it is a flat multiplier instead of increasing health values. You can see this yourself by looking at companion damage, which regardless of difficulty will always be the same, as its purely a multiplier to damage dealt to you and damage you deal to other things. The damage number display does not take difficulty into account when showing the damage dealt, something i definitely noticed when i used setgs to increase damage dealt and received by 15x for fun

Putting on max damage taken and given, and all the hardcore survival settings, but sleeps cures all and vendors have boat loads of credits…. I still come away with 25% bonus xp(40% if you add the rested bonus) and the game is way more immersive while not being tedious. Having limited carry weight but being able to access ship cargo anywhere in an outpost or settlement and also not having to visit every vender 3 times just to sale all my shit is nice. Wish they did this type of customized system for survival in their previous games.

This is great. I'm looking forward to the survival mode stuff. Exploration felt too much like a walk in the park. Alien landscapes should be scary in and of themselves, IMO.

I both love and hate using EXP gain rate as the cost for all these settings. On one hand, playing how I want will make leveling an absolute chore, but on the other, I feel it is completely fair.
