At this point I'm convinced that Bethesda is just memeing on itself, lol.
Like, during the showcase Todd even said "See that moon? You can go there!", like this kind of statement didn't get memed to death, like 10 years ago :D
I think some of the magic is taken away when you think about how ground to space isn't seamless. I wasn't really expecting it to be, but back in the day when they pointed to a mountaintop in Skyrim and said the same thing, it was cool to think about actually walking straight to it rather than having to go through a series of cutscenes to get there.
Why do these companies feel the need to say things like this, it always comes back to bite them in the ass. Nobody will be surprised by bugs in starfield so they should shut up about it.
Because they want to move pre-orders. The whole 45 minute direct was a massive ad campaign to get people to start buying it from now. And it's working, right now it's the #1 seller on Steam.
We all know this is a pipe dream, but to be honest - I'm usually fine with the majority of Bethesda game bugs - except corrupt game saves. Say no to corrupt game saves.
Fallout 4 and Skyrim both had bugs with their main quests on launch that prevented you from progressing. So Corrupt saves are the least of your worries.
I feel like with the delays and MS, I'm ready to trust this statement a little more than before. But I'm still ready for a cesspool of bugs nonetheless, the bar wasn't really high haha
I don’t know how I’ve gotten so lucky, but I’ve hardly ever experienced the bugs in Bethesda games. Every now and then I’ll get an infinite loading screen, but that’s mostly it.
Within the first 20 minutes of playing on launch day, I was admiring the scenery and a mammoth, in the distance, slid straight upwards. Like a helicopter taking off.
I had a corrupted save back on oblivion on the xbox 360 - 250 hours gone!
Skyrim I never really had many bugs either, I found a way to kill Lydia and then make her moonwalk as an undead zombie but it was quite a smooth game. Until I started adding mods!
