I mean, I did partake in the "Skyrim in space" jokes but I didn't know there'd be pickpocketing. Huh. So is it safe to say everybody's builds are going to trend towards stealth sniping?
What's the last Bethesda game that didn't have pickpocketing? It's not like it's a Skyrim staple. It's a Bethesda staple.
Fallout 76 maybe? I stopped playing before they added npcs, maybe you could pickpocket them.
How did an rpg without npcs work?
The game mostly had terminals with messages and voice recordings.
That sounds...depressing
so it's perfect for a post apocolypse setting?
It’s much improved now and for a discount it’s worth playing I’d say, but when it came out it was total garbage. Never mind the fact that it barely worked, the whole concept of a story built around audio recordings and reading text was a disaster. They had to explain why you never saw anyone so you spend the first part of it following a character but always just missing them getting messages like ‘hey I had to run but it’s cool just meet me at x location’ then repeating it once you get there.
I get what they were trying to do but it just failed to come together.
I unironically liked it more than when they added NPCs, it was a story about how everyone in the area either fled, died, or turned into a monster while you and your friends from the vault opened up and went out, figuring out what happened as you accidentally your way into different factions kept alive by robots.
It was fine honestly
It had NPCs, just because they weren't "human" models they decided to market it as a world that didn't need NPCs to tell a story...even though it did...and they added human NPCs later anyway.
True. I somehow expected it to be a different thing altogether, new mechanics and all, I don't know why. Was thinking more along the lines of No Man's Sky, FOR SOME MYSTERIOUS REASON.
Fallout 1 already featured pickpocketing (that is, stealing from people the same way you steal from containers). Maybe that's where they got the idea from.
I hope they bring back the good old "face full of bullet holes, I think I heard a noise, oh well must have been a space rat again"
A special cosmic bucket on the head too.
My first thought as well, have 0 expectations from starfield/bethesda...but pickpocketing in space is a new low.
Must have been the space wind
In a setting with guns? 200% guaranteed.
For people playing efficiently, probably. Everytime i play a bethesda game, i usually go out of my way to play some theme. Playes skyrim in stealth(after 2h axing most of it), oblivion with magic, melee in fo3, energy in fnv, luck maxed pistol/revolver only for fo4.
Ill probably look at the weapon list at launch and pick a weapon type from there
Less 'Skyrim in Space,' more 'Fallout 4 in Space.' They are really leaning into the "Build Your Own Trash-Fort" aspect, as with Starfield, you not only build them on every planet. You get to ride around in them between planets.
I get that 'Builder Games' are big money, but dear lord...
