Yeah, this is one of those things where I don't understand what happened. Bethesda has stated they're working on them, so I'm expecting them to drop in an upcoming update.
Starfield 1.10.30 update has just been released with over 500 changes/bug fixes and the first quality of life updates.

Glad they're keeping at it. Game is something special at the core but just has a bunch of these gremlins (which I mean to be fair it's Bethesda lol).
I feel this game will be legitimately amazing in another year or two…or maybe with a next gen machine lol.
Not sure they ever confirmed what you said but regardless they could easily add them.
It is sorely needed.
I suspect that will be a Xbox Pro (if it even exists) feature or even maybe next gen.

That's some of the best story and dialogue in the game lol. Miles better than the main quest.
I mean they have had horses since Oblivion and those are just a different style of vehicle.

Not yet but it's on their list.

I'm honestly not sure if Series X could do it without massive compromises.

DF thought a performance mode was possible after the performance patch in November. The comparable Ryzen CPU hangs around 60.
"This performance boost is nearly replicated on a lower-tier Ryzen 5 3600 system, where I recorded a 17 percent frame-rate improvement with the beta patch installed. This brings this CPU into 60fps territory much more frequently, which makes a big difference to how smooth the game feels to play. This kind of a performance uplift makes me think a performance mode on console could be much more viable now, given that the 3600 and the Xbox Series X CPU operate within a similar performance profile."
I really think they should at least ship a locked 40 mode for 120 Hz displays on Series X, if they can't get a stable 60 in some areas.
Oh damn that'd be awesome.
I started on Series X then eventually moved over to my PC due to the framerate.
What they said makes sense though since I have a slightly better 3600X and a 2060 Super and I was locked at 60 basically everywhere except the major cities where it's float around low mid 50s.
This was at 1440p ultrawide as well.
Kinda silly that they fixed that. Using an exploit in a SP game is totally fine and optional.
I love Bethesda games and I'd recommend waiting to anyone that hasn't played it. I think it'll be in a much better state with survival mode and Shattered Space. The game desperately needs a boost to the number of points of interest to make exploration more rewarding which will come with DLC plus mods.
When they fix #3, and they said that they will, I'll jump back in for a second playthrough. The walking is a huge letdown for me and it's good that they will address this in some manner.
I finished it and enjoyed it but I'd say wait on it too. When it comes to PS, it's going to be in much better shape.
Good list. I would add they need to do something with the way character dialogue works, its... archaiac at best. Needs a damn overhaul. Also why doesn't Beth use mo cap at all?
They can add that support if they want it and it's clear they don't.
Wow. They actually fixed the Mercury Apartment (player house) being reset during the totally non optional mid/late game main quest mission bug. Only took them 6 months...
That was the main reason I dropped the game (because I had spent hours upon hours decorating the place and didn't want all my effort thrown away).
Problem is I'm now engrossed in other games and don't feel the urge to return.

Out now out of Beta on all platforms
I just want an auto loot option, the loot stuff was cool on the PS3, it's now just cumbersome to have to manage, look at each item, run between your ship etc.
I play on PC and I installed a mod that sets the cost of all crafting to zero. This way I can customize my guns as I want, I don't have to (and I'm not joking) search for materials in order to remove the scope on my rifle.
It's a huge quality of life upgrade since I can safely ignore all components I come across, I don't need to burden myself with them or waste time examining them.
"We also understand that digipicks are precious, so we've made an adjustment that allows you to Undo without the penalty cost of a digipick during the Security mini-game."
So it's impossible to fail the lock picking minigame now? If you have one lockpick you effectively have infinite lockpicks? Seems like a fairly large design change if I'm understanding correctly.

Well, kinda. The price cuts are not doing much for the game yet. It's nowhere to be seen in Steam's top sellers despite a 33% price cut. The game being #197 while both Forza Horizon 4 and 5 (also in Game Pass) are in the top 80/20 says a lot.
I'll keep saying this needs a CP2077-like overhaul to have actual legs like previous BGS games.
I don't think a CP2077 syle overhaul will save the game. 77 had problems at launch, but they were problems that were gameplay and technical, something that is fixable with effort and doesn't require completely remaking the game. 77 had good writing and characters and mission design and a host of other aspects from the start. Starfield fixing the problems would be making an entirely new game. The writing, the quests, the characters, the world building, the skill system, the space combat, the way the open world works so many things about Starfield would need to be redone to make it great. You can do a big overhaul and try to fix a lot of those issues, but you can't fix them all.
Cyberpunk is accepted for what it is now, and the changes have made it better, but it's still not this huge roleplaying game that was marketed and it never will be.
Infinite digipicks for at least that one lock, it will get consumed once the mini-game is won. I'm a bit torn on this change, one of the things i really enjoyed about the mini-game was that you really had to plan out all of your moves solidly. Towards the end I got really good at eyeing notch and available patterns which made me better at it while also being way more efficient in my digi-pick usage over the course of my playthrough.
My biggest problem with Starfield as a loot hoarder were the instanced space ship boardings. I remember having a mission where i need to go in and help remove all the pirates from a ship. Afterwards I went around looting everything I could but I was low on digi-picks so so unlocked all the hardest ones first and left some easier ones. There was a room I couldn't open afterwards so I decided I would fly down to New Atlantis buy more digipicks and then come back. Turns out that once I undocked and left the area, since the mission was instanced, when I returned the ship was gone never to be found again.
To me it's funny cause 2077 was seen as irredeemable trash. The edgerunners update got some people to come around. But phantom liberty was the big positive swing in public perception. This came out three years later. I don't think starfield is rotten to its core just like I never thought cyberpunk was either.
I think some key changes and a good expansion could be a huge jolt in this games arm. Sadly I don't think they've made any steps towards that just yet.
I still think there is enough that can be done to get a truly good game out of it. Remember that Bethesda games never had really good writing, so if they are able to turn the open world into something better than an arrow following simulator I'll be happy. It won't be the open world space New Vegas a lot of us have prayed for but it doesn't really need to do that to be decent.
I guess, but you still have to go through the tedium of unlocking the door. And when the door is like 5 locks, it can take a bit.
I don't think that any kind of QoL improvements can bring me back to this game. Anyway, happy for the players who waited for this patch.
