Sweet, cached another hour on Starfield. So far so good, although the REV-8 feels ehr…useless? You just land nearby your objective and take three or four steps. I’m not really into the exploration part as it feels a bit too complex…

On a brighter side I’m quite enjoying the main quest and flirting with Sarah

    Yeah, you’ll get bored soon. The vehicle is not enough of a fix for all the problems.

      It’s weird that you’re given the only functional ground vehicle in this universe. You don’t see other civilians or even enemies with their own.

      Adding one vehicle is like barely addressing a third of the gap in ground transport. You need to start your journey with it, you can’t find something to bring you back, you can’t summon it to your location, you can’t hijack an enemy one, can’t have a chase throughout the otherwise empty landscape.

      With the difficulty in traversal (thanks to the grid-like distribution of rocky outcrops on every planet’s surface), you really don’t end up using it much after playing with it for the first time. I can’t fault a procedutally generated terrain system for not having a road network though.

      I also find it amusing that the buggy seems to have a small bed at the back, but you can’t secure any objects in there. Inanimate objects do have collisions, curiously enough. I wonder if they planned to use that.

    @[email protected] I thought that they’ve done an ok job with the vehicle. I quite like that these have turrets mounted and the way you can boost over rocks. Not entirely smooth, but good enough and people were calling out for it.
    An even more crucial update for me personally was the 60fps mode on XBSS. But I’m not convinced that it’s actually 60fps that I’m getting. Other 60fps games feel much smoother. But it’s going in the right direction.

      @[email protected] yeah the vehicle works just fine, could have been better, could have been worse, as you said it’s ok. I hadn’t figured out how to use it for mining yet but I’ll get there

        Can the mounted gun be used to shoot at ore?
