Oh no! The game is less fun now because it's not like it was when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon and there was nothing there!

What's the deal with not releasing the CK immediately? I didn't even finish my first playthrough of the game and I've just been waiting for the CK before I give it another go. Why does it have beta access? Did they not use the damn thing to create the game?

Thank fucking God. Now, I put 70 hours into the base game, so I'm not gonna say "it's finally worth playing"... But yeah let the modders have a go in making it good.

Can't wait for the build-your-Gundam mod.

I'm guessing Microsoft deadlines were coming up and the CK was not production ready so they released just the game... Which was also not production ready but probably in a better shape than the CK.

Too bad they probably won't be able to fix the constant loading screens. A huge space game and you can't even fly from one planet to another without going through multiple loading screens.

No... They're not talking about adding more content to the barren ass planets. They're talking about making the map more detailed. Like when you go into the menu and open the map for the area you're in... That's what's getting updated lol.

Not sure about the Steam Deck but on Linux (with Proton) it runs just as fine for me as on Windows.

My theory is they wanted a chance at fixing the game themselves before just handing modders the tools to fix it themselves. It's about saving face. I bet if the game was highly rewarded and did extremely well the kits would have dropped sooner.

Word in the bathroom is the TV show was a reverse-gaff and they had no idea it'd be so popular or well received and, until recently, Fallout 5 was a decade out. They're scrambling to make a few Fallout projects right now.

It's probably more likely they're working on fallout 4 "remaster", you know, like they've done with Skyrim. Cheap as fuck and they get to sell it all over again.

Fallout 3 remaster is the rumor/leak, actually, but yes.

Did you mean FO3? 4 just got a next gen upgrade so I doubt they're remastering that one. 3 and NV seem way more likely to get that treatment.

I don't know tbh, haven't been following. Unfortunate if that is the case, but if Starfield even has 10% the modding enthusiasm as Skyrim it should be great.

I meant 4, though I was being a smart ass since 4's the closest to "modern" so it would theoretically take the least effort to remaster. Though, IDK if we can call the upgrade a remaster.

New display features - FPS cap and performance/quality settings on Xbox


Does this mean that it's finally 60fps on console? I played the game for a couple of sessions at launch, but the 30fps cap (along with the game just generally feeling 'meh') was killing my enjoyment. Haven't played it since.

A bunch of Nexus modders said that, IIRC. So you'll probably just have smaller mods and those providing paid mods for Creation Club/Creations/Create-a-Whatsit.

I don't know about that. there are a lot of sci fi fans. Remember not everyone who loves Elder Scrolls likes Fallout. The true is same for Starfield, I think it could attract great modders to it and some new ones.
