The thing about Starfield is that you are basically brand new to the universe, everyone acts as your guide and explains everything to you, *especially* Sarah Morgan who Mom's you about everything as if you were a child. With Fallout and Elder Scrolls, everything is pretty intuitive to learn: The war, the guilds, there's ancient ruins with Dwemer artifacts within, Fallout: Nuclear apocalypse, gangs, drugs, mutant creatures, it's only ever the neuances that you have to actively learn about like energy weapons, the Elder scrolls itself etc. With Starfield, everything is a matter a fact, everything is sputtered out in detail the moment you come across it, you come across a planet, location or faction, Sarah will be there to give you a full breakdown of everything, it's exactly why there's no community discussions of the game about the lore because there's no mystery about it.

You make a very good point and I know that internally Bethesda was supposed to have a tutorial system for all these new mechanics, to a existent they mostly decided to have no tutorials for ship building etc. But I guess that some of the over explaining of the world/lore was due to Bethesda being scared about the player not understanding this new IP they were creating. But from a lore/quest standpoint I've spoken spoken to developers at Bethesda about their intention of leaving some of the conclusions for the quests in Skyrim open ended for interpretation, when they allowed for that interoperation of the story the players literally build the lore theory's for them and have endless discussions about it.

Starfield feels like a VAST improvement of the Elder Scrolls Arena (even down to the fact that you have to fast travel everywhere). One issue with the modern gaming scene is we really don’t get massive AAA new universes anymore. Arena launched in the 80s blowing everyone away despite having all the issues of starfield and then some. Today though the last comparable game from Bethesda is Skyrim which had majorly refined and narrowed the vision of elder scrolls. From gaming its Cyberpunk 2077 (which flopped WAY harder on release and has taken a long way to climb its way back to a status that still doesn’t reach the initial prelaunch hype). People complain all the time that we don’t get new games very often anymore, but this is exactly why. Its far more risky for very little much reward. AA and indie games are fine (they greatly mitigate the risk), but when you’re making a starfield or cyberpunk in the modern landscape you’re going to make a LOT of mistakes and risks, but the issue is that it still needs to match the quality of other AAA games gamers expect and will cost a crap ton to make.

You could join a fighters guild and do missions for them. You could join a mage's guild and learn new spells. Then I saw gameplay with giant mushroom trees and I saw a pack guar. I fell in love with Vvardenfel and loved trying to uncover the mystery of the disappearance of the Dwemer. I remember as a kid, delving into ruins and picking up every single item and reading any book my character found. I remember freaking out during the Tribunal DLC when you enter an untouched Dwemer ruin in Mournhold. I saw the ash piles next to doors with shields, swords, and helmets in them. I'd then see a pile of ash with a random potion bottle and a book. I recalled that one book in the game mentioning accounts on the battlefield on Red Mountain of Dwemer soldiers suddenly turning to ash and realized their physical bodies were destroyed across all of Tamriel (though their souls may be bound to Aetherius, making Kagrenac's attempt to make the Dwemer into gods arguably somewhat a success).

I was so disappointed when Skyrim watered the RPG of the game down to basically being a melee FPS game where skills were removed and replaced with "skill" categories that are really just the same thing as what we now know as the perk system. I loved a lot of things about Skyrim, but because of how much was removed from the game mechanics, it's still my least favorite in the series.

I don’t care what anyone says memes aside Todd is a visionary

Do you not know anything about Todd (ESO)😂? Us gamers owe him a lot. Most people these days just know him for "it just work's" or "16 times the detail". He deserved the flak for that tbh, no doubt. I liked your tip for Starfield, give a companion a single round of ammo, they never run out. I've been doing that in their games for decades.

Sounds like he knows his business and is very adaptable.

I think co-op could work for something like Fallout 5. I just don't think the online PvP works well. Being able to link up with even just one other friend in Fallout 5 would be incredible. Probably won't happen, but one can hope!

Love you added your perspective into your videos again!! Fun to watch and relatable! Merry Christmas

I really hope that Bethesda listens to it's fans of Starfield and improve their way of making different planets, look different. This is key to improving the immersion of players within the game. After a couple play throughs, the player starts to remember where everything is located. You have 100 different systems, so assign a planet to each developer to make their own planet. These are multi million dollar games, hire more developers if needed.

Yes they need to stay with single player games. I also agree with you. Star Field has so much more potential. However, you could do more in Fallout 4, especially with base building, and other aspects. I hope they do DLCs upgrading and fixing the game to its potential. When you defeat a group at a refienry or something, you should be able to take it over, kind of like salvage rights, and then hire people to run them as what purpose you want. Assigning security, and everything a base needs. The bases you make in Star Field you get resourses but you can not really do anything with them! You should become thursty and hungry as well in any game! Also the Brig and mess hall and other parts of the ship. They should be used! When I walk through the ship people should be at the area they are specialized in! We should be able to have much more crew! Security Guards, Cooks, Computer/shields/weapons and so forth!

I miss the OG Black Isle studios.... However, I think Larian is as close as you can get to that kind of studio nowadays that allows players to play they way THEY want...

Todd is a champion man.

I also think there will be ships in elder scrolls 6 adapted from the ship system from starfield and hopefully improve it

I wish Matthew Perry could see New Vegas remastered

Multiplayer was not the problem. The issue was monetizing every facet of multiplayer. By this point, there were two generations of gamers who learned to be wary of "free to play", cash shops, micro-transactions... As Todd mentioned, the revenue stream potential of the nickel and dime model works; perhaps much better than a one time purchase. The issue comes when the business model begins to affect game play, game design, story...

I had no idea about the rich history of Bethesda and Todd himself. It gives me so much more respect for him. Personally I was pretty disappointed by Starfield, but am willing to keep giving future games an honest chance. To me, Fallout 4 has been the peak; I still play it today and am STILL surprised by the novelty of its experiences and stories.

Oblivion was my first as well! I think I was 14 when it released. It will always be my favourite, I believe due to nostalgia lol. I’ve played every Bethesda game since then. I do whole heartedly agree about Starfield. I love space too. So I was pretty excited for it. In terms of traditional Bethesda games it was lacking something. I’m not sure if it was the story elements, it just wasn’t as engaging. I noticed they didn’t have a lot of ‘traitors’ this time around. Which actually threw me off haha. I was half expecting one of the constellation members to betray the group, or you in one way or another. An example of Fallout 4 (some didn’t like, but I really loved this game), but right off the bat you are engaged because your partner is killed, and they steal your baby! Lol immediately you’re wondering ‘What the hell?! Why they take my kid?’ The brotherhood of steel quest was super cool to me too, and you end up really hating a character in that quest. I guess what it is, is most of their games give you real feelings and reactions from the game. Starfield didn’t really give me that. The only thing that incited a reaction was the main quest, and it’s only because I was unaware I was going to lose one of two of my favourite peoples. And that had me more cranky than anything else haha I know you see ‘them’ again, but even that wasn’t really satisfying at all. Maybe they’ll turn it around and add more cool story elements and maybe add more variety to other aspects of the game. Time will tell.

@Jaasau As far as quality of story,and characters,and personalized elements yes,but as far as having the game build itself for them,and then do its own thing,because they're too lazy,or incapable of doing the job themselves,seems right on point of how they've been making their games forever.

What's next you say? Well it's hard to say it...but TES6 will be last game that he makes. That video is confirmation.

I just feel so grateful we have Skyrim and fallout 4 even though we have to wait so much longer for the next ones

I actually played Terminator back then, it was such a revolutionary game. TH is a legend despite all the issues of recent times, but I think Bethesda is dealing with engine limitations. That is something they have to discuss internally, so ES6 can be a massive success.

The fact you got blacklisted speaks volumes how Bethesda operates

What

Sack starfield, sack multiplayer, get elder scrolls 6 and fallot ut 5 out.

im very aware of starfield’s flaws but im having a ton of fun despite them. i got the wardog armor and the deepseeker helmet, my character looks sick. i turned the razorleaf into the fastest and strongest starfighter in the galaxy, i turned the frontier into a giant frieghter with over 10k cargo capacity and all the workbenches and it still has decent speed and mobility. i just finished the vanguard questline, it was very cool and very intriguing, now im seeking out new powers to add to my arsenal, See Star Stuff is my favorite of the ones i’ve found so far. i’ve maxed out stealth and concealment and i’ve got the operative suit. unfortunately the game doesnt allow for full stealth but it still provides a significant tactical advantage so i still get a bit of satisfaction from that. and im only playing on xbox, i just bought my first gaming pc and once that arrives im sure that my enjoyment of starfield will only increase once i mod the shit out of it lol

Fallout 76 has turned into an amazing game. My only gripe with it at launch was the lack of or non existence of humans npcs. They added them and the game is great. I use to stay up late doing scorched beast queen runs

I played it for a total of 10 hours and hated it. The save system, or lack of one is what ruined that game for me. Maybe in a year or two when I tire of starfield I'll try that one again.

I enjoy starfield but it’s far from Bethesda’s best. It’s not their most ambitious game, Skyrim was.

You're such a king for mentioning Once lost games! Personally I'm looking forward to their new game a lot!

Honestly 76 was great with the original player base that was there from the pre release. We made an entire story all our own. Than the poor want a direction due to the lack of imagination, forced NPC’s and forced story. Destroying everything that it was and beginning to become. An epic role play based on you and your companions imagination! Entirely a different game now. Sad I haven’t been back. Was great for a time.

Please, for the love of god NO MORE! Starfield was a huge let down.

Yeah, exclusivity is such a stupid anti-consumer practice that only brain dead man-children defend.

When it comes to starfield, I have sort of a different thought than when it comes to elder scrolls or Fallout. With those two I want to see more, with starfield, I don't want them to ever make sequel despite enjoying my time with it.

Larian Studios has shown the way for privately owned game companies maintaining pure passion crossed with AAA output.

Starfield is the worst game ever made, truly a disgrace to gaming a permanent stain on Bethesda. I'm genuinely terrified they're going to ruin elder scrolls 6. The Bethesda we knew are gone.

I don't think it's the worst game ever made. I mean, Golem exists, but SF was a big disappointment for me. It's so sterile and mediocre with bad writing and immersion breaking game mechanics buried under piles of tedium. It's an average 5/10 game, a 2/10 rpg for me. I'm not even sure mods can fix it.

It’s not the worst game ever made but it definitely did not live up to all the hype that was created around it. It’s got some decent mechanics but it’s pretty mid overall and built on outdated technology. I really hope BGS will learn from this I’m glad it didn’t get nominated for GOTY and I hope this signal gets through so they don’t make the same mistake with ES6. It also won’t win the RPG nomination btw. Baldur’s gate should win that. Skyrim and oblivion are easily in my top 10 of all time games. Starfield is too mediocre and disappointing

Daggerfall, was a mind blown game for me.

Really what we were missing from the handcrafted aspect was a sense of purpose. It felt like you could go anywhere in Skyrim and there was some sort of purpose for everything. I’ve been playing the game for years and stumbled across a bandit den hidden in a shack for the first time ever just yesterday. Everything had story and purpose

Kind of crazy how revisiting games like Skyrim and fallout but mostly Skyrim is so profitable and diverse as far as Options for playthrough style and order of mission completion

yeah we can say that Breath of the wild, Elden Ring, Red Dead Redemption , The Open Assassin Creed games are immersive. But no game up until now can match on how immersive TES and Fallout was even back on the 360 era days. Creating a fight in towns people in skyrim that isn't part of any quest is so immersive, putting grenade on peoples pocket and make them explode? no other game thought about that even now. People may talk all they want on Todd Howard but he made the Gaming world more exciting than just endlessly shooting terrorist/aliens for almost 2 decades.

I had that Terminator game back in the day and may still even have the disc for it stashed away somewhere, lol.

I would love to see that ES Arena Bikini armor made into all of BGS titles 4:12

The main take away from this video that no one noticed is how much consoles hold back gaming.

ESO, you mentioned ships having a brig and knocking out bounty targets but there is no option to actually capture them and use the brig, there's currently a mod recently made that exactly adds a "capture" option to knocked out targets and sends them to your ships brig which you can then turn them over to the local security on any settled planet. you should really check out all of the recent Starfield mods there's so much progress already despite no official creation kit yet

Love you Danny! Such a great vid thank you ❤

Great well put together video. Thanks ESO.

With age and experience comes perspective. When you grow as a person. Todd Howard has grown as a person.

6:17 Morrowind..... that game, drew me in. Like completely. I played every expansion to it as well. I was a little sad playing Skyrim, and seeing the state of what was once the Bloodmoon Expansion - but still this was the defining game for me; Morrowind. Probably for many other players too. 😎

20:53 Have to make one further comment. Bathesda and Mojang, seem to have a common thing. They say they listen to the community, but do they really? I mean it's the whole Microsoft complex. We own your hardware and you will play as we tell you too. It's the way Microsoft approaches Windows and all of our PCs. It's why they get away with doing things like forced updates, forcing patches on there schedule and not ours, forcing some people from Windows 10 to 11 without waiting for user's to say it's ok. Sorry bout the rant here. 🙃🤐

I love Fallout and Skyrim and I was so excited for Starfield, but everything you said about it is correct. I've tried to go back and play it several times but I can't get in to it. I'm currently playing Fallout 4 again. I love it.

Elder Scrolls 6 needs to be all of Tameriel, as long as we been waiting on this game, let it be the "ultimate fantasy simulator" like they say it will be.

they need a game for each region before they do something like that

I think the mark that they missed with the whole multiplayer thing is yes everyone wanted multiplayer but they did not want an mmo. Everyone wanted coop so it could be you and one of your friends. Like your friend was in your world like a companion that would follow you around. Also at the end he mentions they are still doing updated for these games and he hovered around fallout 4 when he said that. When was the last creation club item released or the last update through steam or whatever platform you are playing it on. I think Todd just let slip that they are working on something new for fallout 4.

I had Terminator Future Shock!! Blast from the past for sure didn't realise it was a Tod Howard game

game manuals made you feel the effort and love behind the game and scenes, the game boxes made you feel u had to complete that game aswell

I completely agree with the complaints about Starfields scale, although I feel it makes sense for the topic of the game being space. Also one thing I want added is dual wielding weapons.

As great as Skryim is, it took some steps backward from Morrowind. TES3 (Morrowind) was a truly challenging and rewarding game! There were no quest markers, no fast travel and no hand holding. Just explore and learn about where you need to go by interacting and asking questions with the NPCs. I'm super excited about SkyWind being fully voice acted and using the Skyrim engine.

I’m SO excited for ES 6.

@@Joseph-wh5of Those sells only proves how gullible people are, nothing more. While fallout is years old, its reviews actually improved over that time while starfield reviews going down after this honeymoon period. Its a really bad game. It was built on a really good idea and could have been good, but people in charge either have no idea how to make good game or they had no time to properly finish it. And stop with that stupid excuse "It will be better when modders fix it"... This type of thinking can be one of the main reasons why Starfield is in this shitty state to begin with, Todd simply realized that he can push out any crap out at full price and modders will fix it for him for free...

A big critique I get when I say that I find Skyrim the best game ever is it's flaws and bugs, but then I point out some crazy backstories, quests, locations and people don't get how big of a deal they are until you've played this game. It's bugs and flaws are a representation of it's age, older tech, less resources etc. but the best thing to compare it to is some homemade dish by your grandma, to a cook it will have many flaws, but to you it's the best food you'll ever eat. Skyrim is one of the biggest "escape" games, it feels nostalgic to me even though I only played it for a few years, it's the whole aesthetic of the game that you can only call the Lord of the rings of the game world.

Ah, the everlasting quest for adhesive, it apparently continues to the 24th century. Roses are are red, violets are blue, When you play a Bethada game, Sooner or later, You'll run out of glue.

I came in with Oblivion. A guy I befriended while waiting overnight for my xbox 360 was always online playing it. Figured I'd try it out since 360 didn't have a big library at launch. Now18 years later, I'm sure I've clocked more gaming time in oblivion, fallout 3 and fallout 4 then all the games I've ever played.
