Best of luck in the draw if you've entered! <3

Good luck!

No Problem, I wish you the best of luck in the draw!

It's a lot like skyrim or fallout gameplay wise, but it has some scents of games like No man's sky, and elite dangerous mixed in.
Thanks for the kind words though <3

Thanks stevey <3!

Feel free to enter if you think you would enjoy playing it at some point in the future!

Also as a little note from myself: I know the store page says SSD required but that doesn't seem to be the case, the game works fine off a hard drive, just increased loading times.

In terms of size I can double check when I am next on my PC but I think it is about 120gb disk usage IIRC.

I honestly wasn't... But when it got closer to release I kind of felt like I wanted to explore a world like Skyrim or Fallout, but a fresh one with new lore and stories.
So far I'm not disappointed in that regard. The main story does just feel 'tacked on', and is just shoved in your face with no understandable motivation or agenda for the main player character. But the world building, side-quests, and just little side-stories you can stumble upon are actually quite well done, as well as the effects they have on the rest of the world around you. In my 18 hours or so logged, I've actually only done the first 2 main story quests, with one of those being the intro/ tutorial one. I just haven't had motivation to do the main story, it hasn't hooked me yet. But going around and doing your own thing, discovering little side quests and stories has been great fun.

From a technical standpoint, it runs alright, but it does feel dated in some regards. Moving between areas has the classic Bethesda fade to black loading screen. Some of the mechanics are just straight up the same as Skyrim from 12 years ago. So any mention Bethesda makes about 'pushing new limits' is kind of just fluff.

Regardless of that though, the world building and side-stuff is really quite well done, as I guess is to be expected from a Bethesda game.

So If you've played and enjoyed Skyrim or Fallout, I can recommend this. Otherwise if you're not a fan of those games, this is just that, but with a new coat of paint, story and lore.

Raises hand.
Overhyped """AAA""" releases aren't really my thing either when, even if it's a franchise I'm interested in (which this one isn't since it's a "new" thing by Bugthesda), I'm unlikely to touch them withing the upcoming 5-10 years. Thanks to the almighty backlog, nowadays a game needs to pretty much immediately catch my attention with cuteness, humour, awesome gameplay or some big unique formula twist thing... none of which Bland Standard Open World Game #753 appears to offer.
Well, at least the Zero Punctuation video of it is expectedly funny.

(I wanted to say this 5 days ago but I kinda just... forgot. Like with Starfield in general- I keep forgetting about it until someone brings it up again. ^_^' )

Thanks!

Thanks! <3

Maybe it will run better when you get that PC upgrade?

I personally caved and got it for myself, and I'm having quite a bit of fun with it. Main story wise I haven't done much more than the second mission, as it didn't really hook me. I've mainly just been doing random stuff around the place, which has been great.
It really does kind of remind me of skyrim, or really any other Bethesda RPG, with a fairly extensive, new world and lore to explore.

It is a shame that it isn't well optimised, unfortunately it seems a lot of new releases seem to be half-baked in that regard. The only real game that I remember being optimised in recent years is Outlast Trials, which is great fun, and is honestly a very polished game for an early access release, especially with what the rest of the industry seems to be going towards...

This is exactly how the game plays out actually!
