Talking Starfield with Todd Howard
- Thread starter Biosnake
- Start date
That suit looks really good. Can't wait to play space dress up in this game
The fact that the game director specifically highlights it in a promotional video and they prepared an infographic to go along with it? They're touting it as a selling point, my mileage varies
This is true, I guess it was the infographic that tipped it over the edge for me. It reeked of the days of "yeah well our open world is 5 quindecillion square meters big" style marketing language
One days games will produce dialog and interpret your response on the fly. You'll be able to actually type your response and the NPC will react, just like AI Dungeon
The game director also talked about how fuel in space works, getting rid of traits, and their new persuasion system. He was talking about the dialogue in tandem with the persuasion system to show just how in depth the game can get.
You know what? I wouldn't mind if it got pushed to fall at this point, the first half of next year seems to be quite stacked.
Still hope I can run a gang of space pirates.
Man...I hope this game is good...
You ain't lying. SF6 alone is gonna keep me busy, I'd be okay with it dropping to fall.

I dunno. Todd's 51 now. He seems passionate about his job, I don't see him retiring the minute he turns 65 or something.
Well, one of the factions you can join is basically space pirates. And we've seen UI that shows you can board other ships and space stations.
So I think it's pretty much guaranteed you can RP as a space pirate. Yarrr.
FTL so sometimes you will need to make more jumps to get where you're going or something
so instead of progression it becomes convenience vs inconvenience
I just hope they improved on the quality of dialogue, and not just the volume.
It looks like the "Hero Worshipped" and "Dream Home" traits were re-named. They were "Unwanted Hero" and "Starter Home" in the E3 trailer.
great catch, hero worshipped is new right? it's a reference to oblivion lol

found one of my traits! hells yeah give me that annoying little shit
if they settle on a release date soon it'll probably be at the VGAs/TGAs (whatever its current name is) that we learn of it
I have been playing a lot of Fallout 76 lately and I am absolutely ready for another new Bethesda game.
This game will be so massive. I really hope we hear something at TGAs. Could be THE game of 2023. So hyped.
Great find yourself! Looks like New Atlantis is home to the United Colonies, Constellation, and the House of the Enlightened. This location of the Enlightened store/chest wasn't mentioned before.
The increased depth of dialogue due to no player VA definitely will hopefully help, as will the increased fidelity of the NPCs facial responses.
Interesting that they're letting you 'back out' of your trait choices, though - wasn't necessarily expecting that, and I wonder if it applies to every/all of them, given the one about the fan, or having parents/a starter house, etc.
In terms of a release date, the rumors about how it would have been coming in 'Cyberpunk' levels of bug-riddled with the original date this year, and that we still don't have a date after the delay, and that I can't imagine they'd want a summer release, I'd say Fall 2023 (unless I'm forgetting some other massive first party titles)
The only 'outlier' is that the MS conference said everything would be out within a year from showing from Not-E3 in June, but....that seems pretty paper-thin, plus idk if they were ever clear about 'calendar year' versus 'the end of 2023'.

Wasn't the "Cyberpunk" levels comment made in June 2021 when they first announced the release date? I believe a few developers came out and said that a lot of them feel like their game will be a mess a year and a half later. I would be more interested to hear what Bethesda developers are saying now.
Both? On one hand he's a liar but on the other hand most other games still don't come close to what his games are able to pull off
great catch, hero worshipped is new right? it's a reference to oblivion lol
God damnit lolgreat catch, hero worshipped is new right? it's a reference to oblivion lol
I would be totally fine with a fall release. Next year is going to be stacked and Xbox's drought should be a thing of the past moving forward. Redfall keeps looking better and better, that with Forza makes a nice start to the year, save the heavy hitter for fall.
Yeah, that's fair - I think the release window somewhat moreso than usual depends on MS' release schedule overall.
AFAIK there's not a TON of 1st party releases with official dates - we still know little about how close they want to push things together - I imagine they want to get Redfall out a good distance apart, and Starfield seems much moreso the 'guaranteed sales' aspect you'd wanna push in the fall.
Not to mention the nebulous dates of other MS 1st party stuff that's been in dev for a while now.
