@@dathunderman4Valid Opinion, but saying there isn’t many skill checks, imo is wrong. Plus the game wouldn’t need to be a true rpg for a roleplay, as we’ve seen before with rycons Outlast series.

It's why I tell everyone to just use a mod to max all your stats. You don't *lose* out on the experience since, you're right, it's *mostly* an action-adventure game, and *most* of what you're actually able to do is based on the gear you're using, moreso than your stats. Since the only thing it affects outside what you can and can't equipped is these random checks, you are aboslutely better off just setting all that shit to 100 and choosing how you play, on your own.
@@nestruen7613 when I say skill checks, I meant like skill checks that truly change the outcome of quests. There are skill checks for flavor or that allow you to bypass a certain path (e.g. like those body/intelligence checks to open certain locked doors), but few tangibly change the nature or outcome of a quest (I know there are some that do, but most don’t). Or I guess I should say, I didn’t notice much difference in quest outcome based on differences in build. Witcher 3 was the same in that regard as well, the differences in outcome came down to decisions you made, not your character’s skills/build. Compare that to fallout 1/2 or NV where you get entirely different quests outcomes based on certain skills you’ve invested in, and sometimes you can’t even access a quest at all because your character lacks a certain skill.
Shame that the bugs have finally gotten to you Rycon, I was really digging the story you were telling and honestly it was making starfield a lot more appealing to see that people could still make their “own” story in the game. Is it possible we will ever see the rest of this story? Even if it’s not a summary of where you planned to take it?
I really wanted to play with the bleakness driven from decisions in the past and see Wyatt pushed down a path of piracy and rebellion. He came from poverty and has the excess that so many of the other worlds have to offer and just the blatent waste of resources in some sectors. Would have been a little Robin Hood a little Braveheart in space.
@@ryconroleplays sounds like it would have made quite the interesting story to tell! Thanks for the explanation of where it would have headed, hope you have an awesome day and can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
It's frustrating enough when you're just trying to play the game, but when you're trying to record footage for an immersive viewing experience, it gets so much worse.
Totally get it. I was limited to the console so I didn't have PC commands that you had so getting around bugs was entirely impossible. This is why I couldn't get past the 1st episode of my role-play series! It was very disappointing to say the least considering I was also planning for the best. So no apologies necessary! Your work beats all the other role-play work out there so I'm glad this hasn't stopped you from continuing the charge. Great work as always. On to the next adventure!
I really don't blame you at all, rycon. i stopped playing starfield only a few weeks after release and i haven't looked back since. it's such a shame considering the potential, but what can you do. it's not your job to make bethesda's game playable and fun.
All good dude! Totally get it! I’ve been playing baldurs gate and that’s been really fun to roleplay if you’re looking for something new to use. Not super “cinematic” though
Mate, it's totally understandable. Most of my first run of Starfield I was surprised by how few bugs I ran into compared to Skyrim, but you eventually do find them, and they are quite a bit worse than Skyrim's occasional floating mammoths or teleporting NPCs. I'm hoping this game still has enough interest to get modders to create an "Unofficial Starfield Patch" once the creation kit comes out, like we got for all the other games, but I guess we'll have to see. At this point I doubt the modding scene will ever be as good as Skyrim's, but there's still a lot of cool stuff you could do with this game with a script extender and the right people pushing the envelope. Hope to see you back in the starfield if that day ever comes. Kia kaha, Rycon.
Imagine you're Peter Jackson. You're on the set of Lord of the Rings. You're filming the scene where Gandalf, Sir Ian Mccellan, dies. It's a dramatic moment. Tragic. Then. Everytime he goes to shout his iconic line, "YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!", Ian does his "spaghetti skeleton, fold through the geometry of reality" gag, and you have to cut, and take it from the top, because this fucking GOOFBALL isn't here to make a damn movie, he's here to just turn his whole skeleton into spaghetti and stretch out like he was at the center of a black hole, and if that RUINS your shot, literally DAYS worth of filming, he doesnt fucking care... You can't *NOT* do the scene. This is IMPERATIVE to the film, there's no avoiding it. But, also, nothing you do is gonna stop Ian from folding his body around, and through, reality. There's no trick of the camera you can contrive to avoid getting a shot of his arms twisting together like a double helix and extending like noodles through the roof of your film stage, as his legs stretch through the walls and his fellow actors. That's this. But instead of the distinguished works of Tolkein, with the phenomenal talent of actors and artists that transformed words on a page into tangible reality; it's Tod Howard's latest entry into a long career of barely functional video games held together by gum, tape, and spit literally over two decades old, overworked video capturing and editing software, and some chap from New Zealand trying to hold all *that* together with his creative integrity, and rapidly dwindling patience. In short; This was never a matter of "if", but "when" we'd have to say farewell to Starfield for a while. For the record, there's a *lot* of space sims out there *like* Starfield, so, if there's a professional or personal interest in continuing things with a similar "feel" to it, there's an open market to choose from. Out of curiosity, have you ever considered incorporating the bugs *into* the narrative of the character's perception? Something like a "WOAH! Woahwowah! D-Did you... What the fuck happened to that guy, did you see that? Just me?!" because, I'll admit, Starfield is the one game where you could fold that neatly into the narrative.
I did consider making it a part of the story but it just happens far too frequently. NPCS acting weird, ships phasing through each other and just a litany of immersion breaking moments
I'm sorry that this happened to you, but if it's any consolation, the game let *you* down, not the other way around. Starfield may not have worked out, but I'm still glad you made these videos; I got to be introduced to a creative writer, editor, and roleplayer. Your talents will shine through, irrespective of the medium that you choose to use. Keep stoking that creative spark, okay? I'll keep an eye out for your next project!
I wondered if this might happen. But kudos to you for trying, Rycon. I definitely didn't have the stones do that myself. I'm staying casual with my play through until I can mod it, lol. Are you going to keep playing Starfield on your own? Or are you stopping completely?
I love this series. Hopefully there are more patches/mods to work out these bugs sooner rather than later. If that does become the case, I would absolutely LOVE to see this return. For now, rest your weary mind on these frustrating elements. I sincerely hope that you come out on top in the matter. I got your back amigo, we all do, can't wait to see more amazing content on this channel of legend.
I ran into the same issues. I dropped about 40 hours on Starfield, even with mods I wasn't gelling with it. I'm hoping by mid-year we get the survival update, DLC timeline and some great modded game overhauls.
Mr. Rycon, first, I want to say I'm sorry you cannot continue this roleplay. I truly enjoyed it and will miss it. You did a good job...no, a great job. But frustration with a game is something we all understand, I'm sure. Hopefully, I'll see something new from you soon. Your play style is like nothing I've seen before and I can't tell you how enjoyable it is to watch YOUR story unfold. Thank you, Sir, for introducing me to a new way to play.
Have not seen that bug, but on Xbox we have a bug, which has been occurring after the last update. Finishing a mission undocking from space stations, walk to your pilots seat press (A) to sit in pilot seat, and nothing, character freeze for a second, you try again to sit in pilot’s seat , same result. So not only can we not travel from planet to planet, without fast travelling, but now we can’t even sit in our pilot seat.😢Oh Bethesda why.
Oh man, I was so looking forward to Starfield, i mean deaign my own ships, fly through space, in a big bethsday rpg. I was exeted to see what the would do with a completely new story! And then it was like i was play a fallout 4 mod. I gave up after my second save got borked. I couldnt leave the building i was in without crashing in the first, the second died when the Key didnt exist.
Give the game 10 years and hope the modding community cared enough to fix it by then. Cause most people don't care enough to touch the game and went back to Skyrim and FO4 to mod.
Well, good news is that the Frost Dev team is actually working on a similar overhaul for Starfield. PANPC is out, too. But... it's a long way off for the Frost/Dust mod.
Tha absolute gall for Bethesda to charge 70 USD for this mess of a game is absurd. These bugs are completely unacceptable and should never have been let through on launch.
It's too bad about the bugs. This was my first time watching your videos and I have to say that you make the best rp playthroughs I've seen. So, I did subscribe just in case you start playing Starfield again. Until then I'll just have to watch your other videos. Well done, keep it up.
Alright, first off, that was funny as all hell. That's like someone got shot by a ludicrous weapon from an Ian M. Banks novel (random strangers, search for The Lazy Gun via your search engine of choice, you won't be disappointed). "He's so good with a pistol, he doesn't send his targets to the Shadow Realm, he brings the Shadow Realm to _them_!" Secondly, I am going to miss this story, but I also understand where you're coming from. I don't know if Starfield will ever get a proper DUST/FROST equivalent, but you could do a lot with an Alternate Start mod that lets you opt into the main quest later ("If you want to start the main questline, go to this city and check the Job Board for a mining gig..." type of deal), along with more patches and a proper Unofficial Patch once the mod tools get released. In the meantime, however, someone made a mod kinda like DUST or FROST for Skyrim, called 'Shattered Skyrim', which might be worth your time to look at if it's not on your radar already.
Same. Spent about 50 hours enjoying the game, about 20 hours experiencing the slowly dawning realization that I stopped enjoying anything, then another 50 hours desperately searching for anything enjoyable. All I found where dialogue and environments that screamed , quests that rob the player character of even the illusion of agency, and meaningless repeatable fetch quests. If there was ANY place Starfield was going to hide the good content, it would either be Sol or the star system named "Fermi Paradox". I found nothing.
It sucks so much that we have so many BIG game companies that are more concerned with quantity and speed than they are with quality and bug control. Worst part is the droves that still buy those games without paying attention to reviews or the community. The gaming community is so starved for a GOOD open world sandbox space exploration game.
Don't feel bad, Rycon. You're still great. Your content is quality. This is good to focus on what you can get working instead of breaking your mind on the things that don't.
There are some cool ways to play Starfield. Gotta say that it wears thin much faster than what you’d expect from Bethesda. Starfield needs to be patched up and maybe mods will take it into a solid experience. Thanks for trying Rycon!
What a damn shame. You did such a brilliant job of bringing this game alive with your acting. I can sympathise, its pretty unforgivable that games are launched in this state. I don’t have Starfield as I don’t have a PC anymore and won’t be buying it until it is reliable and unless it is ported to PlayStation. Thanks for showing how good the game can be with a little imagination and a lot of talent.
Glad I never buy stuff until long after most bugs are fixed either by the devs or by modders. More than one reason for that. But has been a thing for nearly 30 years now. Rarely buy anything 'new' or full price when it comes out. Was just sick of getting 'THIS' kinda thing.
This is why I decided to wait for the inevitable complete addition with all the DLCs included. Cheaper price and less bugs. By then, I'm sure there will be an unofficial patch that fixes a lot of this stuff. My roommate played it for free thanks to Games pass and I heard how frustrating the experience was, especially if you played a stealth based character. He would tell me all the time how someone saw him through a solid wall or from across a station and it frustrated him to no end.
It’s quite a shame,I played through this scene the other week and this never happened. Hopefully this series will return down the line and not end up in the void like Outer Worlds and Xcom. Looking forward to the other projects you have in the works
What you mean to say is that at most points this game fail to immerse, impress, or inspire any real feelings of accomplishment or influence on the world.
maybe you can revisit this games when modding pops off with the tools. or maybe if they just fix the damn bugs themselves. this game has so much potential for roleplay man. maybe one day you can do this kinda series again
I could see that your PC was struggling with the Graphics and that there was lost of frames. I don't know your setup but this game IS Brutal at 4K and Recording at that setting must have been a struggle. I personally have a RTX 4090 with i7 10700K and maximum at get recording at 4K is 80fps and my CPU is running at 80 celsius and 95-100% Usage on my GPU. Looking forward to you replaying this in the Future Rycon
Empyrion (Reforged Eden overhaul) and or space engineers could be an interesting segway like how cdda went into ark survival evolved, probably empyrion over space engineers as it has better roleplaying elements and or npc / environment that's easier to work with, maybe you crashed onto a planet somewhere and now you have to "build" your ship and "escape" back into starfield for whenever the equivalent of dust or frost hits.
Damn, that sucks to hear. I have been incredibly lucky and only received one truly horrendous bug. I hope one day you are able to return to Starfield and we get to see the stories you come up with.
It's okay buddy, give it a year, and we should be good to try this again. Bethesda is very active right now in these bug fixing. I would recommend sending in your save file there so then can look at it. This is a game they will be supporting for years to come. It's their new IP so they will fix these things as long as they know there is a issue.
Dust for new vegas frost for fallout 4 so Void would be best mod name for starfield. Well that would be something to play if hold in same style as dust or frost mods.
Non star field related Question I've been wanting to ask for a while, But this seems as good a spot to ask as any. Would you consider doing a play through, either a soft roleplay or let's play of BG3?
Yep lol... Starfield most definitely has a lot of bugs that would normally be really hard to work around but in anticipation of Bethesda making and releasing a buggy game, when I decided to do a role play for it I thought it would be fitting to just write the bugs into the story some how. And it turns out the overall story for Starfield fits that approach perfectly because who knows exactly how the temples, the powers, the artifacts and Unity are effecting the Universe/settled systems.
I'd sooner say that starfield LOST with all these bugs... I was thinking about getting it and making an RP series in it as well but with these kind of stuff? Imma save my money! I can tolerate some loading glitches in Star trek online (even managed to incorporate them into my characters story as he survived Tal Shiar Experiments) ... but this..... IDK how I'd work around this
That really sucks, Rycon! Although it leaves me selfishly crossing my fingers that Ashes might move forward on the timetable because a series has been put aside, hah. I love that series so damn much, and I even managed to get my fiancé hooked on it, too!
While I understand that wanting to give that cinematic experience is a vital part of this playthrough, I think you wouldn't even need the excuse of bugs being to prevalent, The game is boring.
More and more AAA games are showing up half-finished. I haven't bought one in so long now since No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077. Both were able to make amends and change to make amazing games, but why can't developers just see the writing on the wall and give these titles the work they need. The first step is to be honest with ourselves and not ask for an insanely expansive game of "100s of hours of content" or the "biggest worldspace ever". Just promise and deliver a great, engaging game and I'll be more than happy.
Honestly it did beat me as well Thank u for this update !!! I was admittedly looking forward to a new starfield episode but I understand why ur calling it 🤷♂️ I’m gonna play it again when shattered space comes out and then when at least another year of mods are out before I think I can fully enjoy it…. Now imma just head back to my Skyrim Nolvus Hey on the plus side fallout London is coming out soon !!!!!
Wow that's weird. I found Starfield the least buggy BGS game so far. Literally played it to death from launch and never had bugs like that. The worst bug I got was the phased time power not ending which was annoying. Hopefully one day you can play it the way it should be :)
Unfortunately I have to agree as much as I try to blind myself because Im a Bethesda fanboy, there was a game breaking bug in the Ryujin questline that killed it for me entirely and its really sad because of the anticipation I personally had for this game
I'm honestly impressed Rycon made it as far as he did with Starfield. My first 60 hours were spent ignoring the problems, my last 60 hours were spent trying to find a single speck of story, character, or gameplay that would make putting up with those problems worth it. I found one likeable NPC who didn't act like a baby or try to gaslight me (Vasco), and I found one cool quest (the alternate timeline one). That was it. There's simply no freedom. If you don't like a quest, you have no choice but to complete it. You won't get a new "random" quest until you complete an existing quest, so if you don't like any of your existing quests, you're stuck. The world might be open, but the quests and stories are a poorly disguised railroad. Worse, even if you play along with the railroad, you'll still encounter jawdroppingly idiotic, patronizing, immersion breaking whiplash. The quest designers couldn't decide if the player was a bigshot, an underdog, a yes-man, a no-man, or the most powerful known being in the galaxy, so there is MASSIVE ludo-narrative dissonance not only when going from one quest to another, but inside a single quest! If an NPC has bad dialogue, that's a bad NPC. No biggie. It's when the PLAYER CHARACTER has bad dialogue, and ONLY bad dialogue options, that I got me irked. Why would a psionic super solder wielding a BFG 9000 meekly cower when a common street thug points a low caliber weapon at my head? On a pirate base where pirates kill pirates over perceived slights, why am I not allowed to shoot the guy who outright promised to kill me in public? For that matter, why is there an option to betray the navy if the leader of the navy is an immortal essential NPC?
It's a shame things have turned out the way the did with Starfield. It has so much potential but there is so much that just takes you out of any immersive experience you want to achieve, I hope with time Bethesda can do something to fix a lot of the issues but seeing so many bugs that exist from the oblivion days still present is very disheartening. Think it's just time for them to accept they need a new engine because even a lot of the modders have given up on Starfield at this point.
Ohhh so that's why lol!! I guess like alot of us just have to wait after a few big updates and overhaul mods. Shelve the game for now and try again with a "new character" after the 1st dlc is out that's what I'm currently doing :) Looking forward to whatever is next
That's a shame. I was enjoying the story quite a bit, even though Starfield itself is dogshit. Maybe you could give Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines another go sometime in the future? I remember that series ending abruptly too, even though it had a ton of potential.
3:10 I’m watching someone else RP a different game and he just uses glitches like these as a “mental break down” in character. Maybe that could help? 🤷♂️
Could always do a stalker gamma story, ive seen some videos with a great cinematic spin on it, and i think it compliments your playstyle well, and has a good amount of story RP to it.
I could not help but laugh at the body not just start noodling around the room but breaking down into a mess of pixels around the room. Oddly when it does that it seems to act as if there is code for dismemberment even if that is not in the game.
Ok. I have a conspiracy theory. Every time there is a game that is said to be super buggy, I never stumble into anythig wortht mentioning. Skyrim, Fallout 4, Cyberpunk 2077, Starfield. So either people on the internet hacking the games and sell it as buggy mess, or it's me who always gets some VIP copies. All of those games were absolutelly fantastic to me, since day one.
Hi got a question, you don't need to answer if you don't want to but are you going to have a go at fallout London when the mod comes out? Hope you're doing well.
I wish some of the problems with starfield were fixed hopefully bethesda keeps updating it and the dlcs and mods make it better and more stable i was fortunate to have not many bugs during my playthrough and enjoy most of my experience but i really wished it had more rp opportunities and felt more like a finished game
I really had high hopes for Starfield, but I gave up after insufferable number of loading screens and repetitive gameplay. My channel was based on Bethesda games and teaching how to mod them. It's dead now, thanks to Starfield. Time to go in a different direction...
I was so excited to see your Starfield roleplay, but then I played it... It was such a disheartenig experience for the state of AAA games. Huge let down, and I definitely don't blame you. You're making the right choice and excited to see what you get into next.
It's okay. There's no secret that Starfield looks like one of those infomercial products: it feels amazing at first; but the more you use it, the more reasons you get to regret buying it.
I have been playing since release and still love it.
Don't get me wrong it is far from perfect and at the current time I understand Rycon's issues.

Honestly this is about right for many games, although id extend it to three to five years for any game that starts out as a 'early access' game.
I would say this isn't true of all AAA releases, Elden Ring was great Day 1 for example, as is Baldurs Gate 3 (although that was in early access for over a year).
Case-by-case basis, and it is always true to never preorder unless a playable demo is available.
This is something I encourage everyone to do.

Perils of the Warp
All good dude! Totally get it!
I’ve been playing baldurs gate and that’s been really fun to roleplay if you’re looking for something new to use.
Not super “cinematic” though
BG3 is so we'll polished and thought out. Keeps my jaw dropping
@@ryconroleplaysHave you been playing it off-screen? Liking it?
Mate, it's totally understandable. Most of my first run of Starfield I was surprised by how few bugs I ran into compared to Skyrim, but you eventually do find them, and they are quite a bit worse than Skyrim's occasional floating mammoths or teleporting NPCs. I'm hoping this game still has enough interest to get modders to create an "Unofficial Starfield Patch" once the creation kit comes out, like we got for all the other games, but I guess we'll have to see. At this point I doubt the modding scene will ever be as good as Skyrim's, but there's still a lot of cool stuff you could do with this game with a script extender and the right people pushing the envelope. Hope to see you back in the starfield if that day ever comes. Kia kaha, Rycon.
Imagine you're Peter Jackson. You're on the set of Lord of the Rings. You're filming the scene where Gandalf, Sir Ian Mccellan, dies. It's a dramatic moment. Tragic.
Then. Everytime he goes to shout his iconic line, "YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!", Ian does his "spaghetti skeleton, fold through the geometry of reality" gag, and you have to cut, and take it from the top, because this fucking GOOFBALL isn't here to make a damn movie, he's here to just turn his whole skeleton into spaghetti and stretch out like he was at the center of a black hole, and if that RUINS your shot, literally DAYS worth of filming, he doesnt fucking care...
You can't *NOT* do the scene. This is IMPERATIVE to the film, there's no avoiding it. But, also, nothing you do is gonna stop Ian from folding his body around, and through, reality. There's no trick of the camera you can contrive to avoid getting a shot of his arms twisting together like a double helix and extending like noodles through the roof of your film stage, as his legs stretch through the walls and his fellow actors.
That's this. But instead of the distinguished works of Tolkein, with the phenomenal talent of actors and artists that transformed words on a page into tangible reality; it's Tod Howard's latest entry into a long career of barely functional video games held together by gum, tape, and spit literally over two decades old, overworked video capturing and editing software, and some chap from New Zealand trying to hold all *that* together with his creative integrity, and rapidly dwindling patience.
In short; This was never a matter of "if", but "when" we'd have to say farewell to Starfield for a while.
For the record, there's a *lot* of space sims out there *like* Starfield, so, if there's a professional or personal interest in continuing things with a similar "feel" to it, there's an open market to choose from.
Out of curiosity, have you ever considered incorporating the bugs *into* the narrative of the character's perception? Something like a "WOAH! Woahwowah! D-Did you... What the fuck happened to that guy, did you see that? Just me?!" because, I'll admit, Starfield is the one game where you could fold that neatly into the narrative.
I did consider making it a part of the story but it just happens far too frequently. NPCS acting weird, ships phasing through each other and just a litany of immersion breaking moments
I'm sorry that this happened to you, but if it's any consolation, the game let *you* down, not the other way around.
Starfield may not have worked out, but I'm still glad you made these videos; I got to be introduced to a creative writer, editor, and roleplayer. Your talents will shine through, irrespective of the medium that you choose to use.
Keep stoking that creative spark, okay? I'll keep an eye out for your next project!
I wondered if this might happen. But kudos to you for trying, Rycon. I definitely didn't have the stones do that myself. I'm staying casual with my play through until I can mod it, lol. Are you going to keep playing Starfield on your own? Or are you stopping completely?
I might try playing it just for myself too
I love this series. Hopefully there are more patches/mods to work out these bugs sooner rather than later. If that does become the case, I would absolutely LOVE to see this return. For now, rest your weary mind on these frustrating elements. I sincerely hope that you come out on top in the matter. I got your back amigo, we all do, can't wait to see more amazing content on this channel of legend.
I ran into the same issues. I dropped about 40 hours on Starfield, even with mods I wasn't gelling with it. I'm hoping by mid-year we get the survival update, DLC timeline and some great modded game overhauls.
Mr. Rycon, first, I want to say I'm sorry you cannot continue this roleplay. I truly enjoyed it and will miss it. You did a good job...no, a great job. But frustration with a game is something we all understand, I'm sure. Hopefully, I'll see something new from you soon. Your play style is like nothing I've seen before and I can't tell you how enjoyable it is to watch YOUR story unfold. Thank you, Sir, for introducing me to a new way to play.
Have not seen that bug, but on Xbox we have a bug, which has been occurring after the last update.
Finishing a mission undocking from space stations, walk to your pilots seat press (A) to sit in pilot seat, and nothing, character freeze for a second, you try again to sit in pilot’s seat , same result.
So not only can we not travel from planet to planet, without fast travelling, but now we can’t even sit in our pilot seat.😢Oh Bethesda why.
Oh man, I was so looking forward to Starfield, i mean deaign my own ships, fly through space, in a big bethsday rpg. I was exeted to see what the would do with a completely new story! And then it was like i was play a fallout 4 mod. I gave up after my second save got borked. I couldnt leave the building i was in without crashing in the first, the second died when the Key didnt exist.
Give the game 10 years and hope the modding community cared enough to fix it by then. Cause most people don't care enough to touch the game and went back to Skyrim and FO4 to mod.
Well, good news is that the Frost Dev team is actually working on a similar overhaul for Starfield.
PANPC is out, too. But... it's a long way off for the Frost/Dust mod.
it's ok, I hear you...we hear you. this was not the game I thought it would be.
Tha absolute gall for Bethesda to charge 70 USD for this mess of a game is absurd. These bugs are completely unacceptable and should never have been let through on launch.
I feel you, man. You could do Oblivion for the giggles
And Howard was surprised about the game awards
Todd "Literally God lmao" Howard will have his revenge against the Dorito Pope and his minions...
It's too bad about the bugs. This was my first time watching your videos and I have to say that you make the best rp playthroughs I've seen. So, I did subscribe just in case you start playing Starfield again. Until then I'll just have to watch your other videos. Well done, keep it up.
Bugthesda. Bugthesda never changes.
Oh, bugthesda changes alright. Only for the worse. I hope to be proved wrong.
Alright, first off, that was funny as all hell. That's like someone got shot by a ludicrous weapon from an Ian M. Banks novel (random strangers, search for The Lazy Gun via your search engine of choice, you won't be disappointed). "He's so good with a pistol, he doesn't send his targets to the Shadow Realm, he brings the Shadow Realm to _them_!"
Secondly, I am going to miss this story, but I also understand where you're coming from. I don't know if Starfield will ever get a proper DUST/FROST equivalent, but you could do a lot with an Alternate Start mod that lets you opt into the main quest later ("If you want to start the main questline, go to this city and check the Job Board for a mining gig..." type of deal), along with more patches and a proper Unofficial Patch once the mod tools get released. In the meantime, however, someone made a mod kinda like DUST or FROST for Skyrim, called 'Shattered Skyrim', which might be worth your time to look at if it's not on your radar already.
Man, he had my name and everything! Can't blame you for wanting things to make sense in your serious roleplay series though
It seams like a movie set with a disastrous actor forcing the director to cut again and again
I saw the same bug on Reddit! Good old Bethesda, fix one bug to make another!
I don't even have any major bugs but the emptiness and boringness of the game got to me. Totally understandable, man.
Same. Spent about 50 hours enjoying the game, about 20 hours experiencing the slowly dawning realization that I stopped enjoying anything, then another 50 hours desperately searching for anything enjoyable.
All I found where dialogue and environments that screamed , quests that rob the player character of even the illusion of agency, and meaningless repeatable fetch quests. If there was ANY place Starfield was going to hide the good content, it would either be Sol or the star system named "Fermi Paradox". I found nothing.
It sucks so much that we have so many BIG game companies that are more concerned with quantity and speed than they are with quality and bug control. Worst part is the droves that still buy those games without paying attention to reviews or the community. The gaming community is so starved for a GOOD open world sandbox space exploration game.
Well, I've learned my lesson at least. It took me long enough, but I'm much more careful with what I buy now.
Starfield beat me into submission a couple times. I uninstalled and wont reinstall till survival is a thing
Don't feel bad, Rycon. You're still great.
Your content is quality. This is good to focus on what you can get working instead of breaking your mind on the things that don't.
There are some cool ways to play Starfield. Gotta say that it wears thin much faster than what you’d expect from Bethesda. Starfield needs to be patched up and maybe mods will take it into a solid experience. Thanks for trying Rycon!
Don’t worry rycon it’s slowly getting better and better especially with the may update added survival and much more fix’s a lot too
What a damn shame. You did such a brilliant job of bringing this game alive with your acting. I can sympathise, its pretty unforgivable that games are launched in this state. I don’t have Starfield as I don’t have a PC anymore and won’t be buying it until it is reliable and unless it is ported to PlayStation. Thanks for showing how good the game can be with a little imagination and a lot of talent.
Glad I never buy stuff until long after most bugs are fixed either by the devs or by modders. More than one reason for that. But has been a thing for nearly 30 years now. Rarely buy anything 'new' or full price when it comes out. Was just sick of getting 'THIS' kinda thing.
This is why I decided to wait for the inevitable complete addition with all the DLCs included. Cheaper price and less bugs. By then, I'm sure there will be an unofficial patch that fixes a lot of this stuff. My roommate played it for free thanks to Games pass and I heard how frustrating the experience was, especially if you played a stealth based character. He would tell me all the time how someone saw him through a solid wall or from across a station and it frustrated him to no end.
It’s quite a shame,I played through this scene the other week and this never happened. Hopefully this series will return down the line and not end up in the void like Outer Worlds and Xcom. Looking forward to the other projects you have in the works
Bugs in a Bethesda game? Never
What you mean to say is that at most points this game fail to immerse, impress, or inspire any real feelings of accomplishment or influence on the world.
maybe you can revisit this games when modding pops off with the tools. or maybe if they just fix the damn bugs themselves. this game has so much potential for roleplay man. maybe one day you can do this kinda series again
I could see that your PC was struggling with the Graphics and that there was lost of frames. I don't know your setup but this game IS Brutal at 4K and Recording at that setting must have been a struggle. I personally have a RTX 4090 with i7 10700K and maximum at get recording at 4K is 80fps and my CPU is running at 80 celsius and 95-100% Usage on my GPU.
Looking forward to you replaying this in the Future Rycon
Dang it beat the legend himself? Man I was hoping for this series. It was going to be amazing
Empyrion (Reforged Eden overhaul) and or space engineers could be an interesting segway like how cdda went into ark survival evolved, probably empyrion over space engineers as it has better roleplaying elements and or npc / environment that's easier to work with, maybe you crashed onto a planet somewhere and now you have to "build" your ship and "escape" back into starfield for whenever the equivalent of dust or frost hits.
I had quite a good time going thru Starfield's mission arcs. I sink some 260 hr in. But I don't feel like going back anytime soon 😁
"It just works"
Damn, that sucks to hear. I have been incredibly lucky and only received one truly horrendous bug. I hope one day you are able to return to Starfield and we get to see the stories you come up with.
I feel you , man. No apologies needed.
That's a shame. As with all Bethesda products, gotta wait 5 years for the community patches to fix it.
I own it and i'll install and play it one day.
Please pick this back up, the game is much more stable now and your vids are great! You can see the amount of work that goes into them!
It's okay buddy, give it a year, and we should be good to try this again. Bethesda is very active right now in these bug fixing. I would recommend sending in your save file there so then can look at it. This is a game they will be supporting for years to come. It's their new IP so they will fix these things as long as they know there is a issue.
Honestly I would love maybe another skyrim or maybe even oblivion roleplay series
Dust for new vegas frost for fallout 4 so Void would be best mod name for starfield. Well that would be something to play if hold in same style as dust or frost mods.
Void is a great name
I'm sorry about the glitches bud. RP whatever you want, quite frankly, though I'm still gunning for Outlast 3 XD
Non star field related Question I've been wanting to ask for a while, But this seems as good a spot to ask as any. Would you consider doing a play through, either a soft roleplay or let's play of BG3?
Yep lol... Starfield most definitely has a lot of bugs that would normally be really hard to work around but in anticipation of Bethesda making and releasing a buggy game, when I decided to do a role play for it I thought it would be fitting to just write the bugs into the story some how.
And it turns out the overall story for Starfield fits that approach perfectly because who knows exactly how the temples, the powers, the artifacts and Unity are effecting the Universe/settled systems.
th-cam.com/play/PLT2L6Ibofd7iG5MGg96y3pUquys5lsR43.html
I feel the same way.... starfield has quite a lot of bugs
Holy Mother of Pearl, wtf was that?
Some bug between rag doll physics and skinning? Looks like parts of the body fell through the floor first.
I'd sooner say that starfield LOST with all these bugs... I was thinking about getting it and making an RP series in it as well but with these kind of stuff? Imma save my money!
I can tolerate some loading glitches in Star trek online (even managed to incorporate them into my characters story as he survived Tal Shiar Experiments) ... but this..... IDK how I'd work around this
Plays it off what kind of gun is that😱 I enjoyed the show and amazing video mate 👍
You definitely have more patience than me. I gave up on Starfield after 20 hours. Bugs aside, it’s literally “Fetch Quest: The Game”
So strange. I'd run into plenty of little bugs, but never anything quite like that.
That really sucks, Rycon! Although it leaves me selfishly crossing my fingers that Ashes might move forward on the timetable because a series has been put aside, hah.
I love that series so damn much, and I even managed to get my fiancé hooked on it, too!
Completely understand, Rycon. I know how much of a pain Fallout and Skyrim are so if Starfield broke you it must have been really bad.
While I understand that wanting to give that cinematic experience is a vital part of this playthrough, I think you wouldn't even need the excuse of bugs being to prevalent, The game is boring.
If it's such a mess to work with you made the right call. Even if it's work, it's important you enjoy it as much as possible ❤
More and more AAA games are showing up half-finished. I haven't bought one in so long now since No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077. Both were able to make amends and change to make amazing games, but why can't developers just see the writing on the wall and give these titles the work they need. The first step is to be honest with ourselves and not ask for an insanely expansive game of "100s of hours of content" or the "biggest worldspace ever".
Just promise and deliver a great, engaging game and I'll be more than happy.
Honestly it did beat me as well
Thank u for this update !!! I was admittedly looking forward to a new starfield episode but I understand why ur calling it 🤷♂️ I’m gonna play it again when shattered space comes out and then when at least another year of mods are out before I think I can fully enjoy it…. Now imma just head back to my Skyrim Nolvus
Hey on the plus side fallout London is coming out soon !!!!!
Wow that's weird. I found Starfield the least buggy BGS game so far. Literally played it to death from launch and never had bugs like that. The worst bug I got was the phased time power not ending which was annoying. Hopefully one day you can play it the way it should be :)
Unfortunately I have to agree as much as I try to blind myself because Im a Bethesda fanboy, there was a game breaking bug in the Ryujin questline that killed it for me entirely and its really sad because of the anticipation I personally had for this game
it's understandable, even without the bugs starfield is really bad, to try and roleplay through it would be tough in it self
I'm honestly impressed Rycon made it as far as he did with Starfield. My first 60 hours were spent ignoring the problems, my last 60 hours were spent trying to find a single speck of story, character, or gameplay that would make putting up with those problems worth it. I found one likeable NPC who didn't act like a baby or try to gaslight me (Vasco), and I found one cool quest (the alternate timeline one). That was it.
There's simply no freedom. If you don't like a quest, you have no choice but to complete it. You won't get a new "random" quest until you complete an existing quest, so if you don't like any of your existing quests, you're stuck. The world might be open, but the quests and stories are a poorly disguised railroad. Worse, even if you play along with the railroad, you'll still encounter jawdroppingly idiotic, patronizing, immersion breaking whiplash. The quest designers couldn't decide if the player was a bigshot, an underdog, a yes-man, a no-man, or the most powerful known being in the galaxy, so there is MASSIVE ludo-narrative dissonance not only when going from one quest to another, but inside a single quest!
If an NPC has bad dialogue, that's a bad NPC. No biggie. It's when the PLAYER CHARACTER has bad dialogue, and ONLY bad dialogue options, that I got me irked. Why would a psionic super solder wielding a BFG 9000 meekly cower when a common street thug points a low caliber weapon at my head? On a pirate base where pirates kill pirates over perceived slights, why am I not allowed to shoot the guy who outright promised to kill me in public? For that matter, why is there an option to betray the navy if the leader of the navy is an immortal essential NPC?
It's a shame things have turned out the way the did with Starfield. It has so much potential but there is so much that just takes you out of any immersive experience you want to achieve, I hope with time Bethesda can do something to fix a lot of the issues but seeing so many bugs that exist from the oblivion days still present is very disheartening. Think it's just time for them to accept they need a new engine because even a lot of the modders have given up on Starfield at this point.
hello! I think we can try to continue! It seems that a lot has been repaired!
Ohhh so that's why lol!! I guess like alot of us just have to wait after a few big updates and overhaul mods. Shelve the game for now and try again with a "new character" after the 1st dlc is out that's what I'm currently doing :)
Looking forward to whatever is next
If this became the series you totally broke the fourth wall in and went all goofy with it, I would not blame you.
Honestly I was tempted to play with reality breaking etc but it's that much harder because the rest of the universe doesn't react to it
Truly a next gen experience, tod howard is proud :D
That's a shame. I was enjoying the story quite a bit, even though Starfield itself is dogshit.
Maybe you could give Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines another go sometime in the future? I remember that series ending abruptly too, even though it had a ton of potential.
3:10 I’m watching someone else RP a different game and he just uses glitches like these as a “mental break down” in character. Maybe that could help? 🤷♂️
I understand completely. You should leave it by until bugs are fixed (somewhat) or you can mod it. And hey, there is always Baldurs Gate ❤
Loving the content! Do you think you’ll continue this now there has been a few updates?
Could always do a stalker gamma story, ive seen some videos with a great cinematic spin on it, and i think it compliments your playstyle well, and has a good amount of story RP to it.
Reminds me of GPU problems, but I really don't know what kinds of bugs others have in Starfield
I could not help but laugh at the body not just start noodling around the room but breaking down into a mess of pixels around the room.
Oddly when it does that it seems to act as if there is code for dismemberment even if that is not in the game.
Ok. I have a conspiracy theory. Every time there is a game that is said to be super buggy, I never stumble into anythig wortht mentioning. Skyrim, Fallout 4, Cyberpunk 2077, Starfield. So either people on the internet hacking the games and sell it as buggy mess, or it's me who always gets some VIP copies. All of those games were absolutelly fantastic to me, since day one.
Nolvus modlist on Skyrim, do a Vigilants of Stendarr build and go through Vigilant quest line. ;)
With the last update, time to get back to it😊
Thank you very much for trying I appreciate it. Hopefully they fix it and then you can do it. I'll be looking forward to it.
Hi got a question, you don't need to answer if you don't want to but are you going to have a go at fallout London when the mod comes out? Hope you're doing well.
I wish some of the problems with starfield were fixed hopefully bethesda keeps updating it and the dlcs and mods make it better and more stable i was fortunate to have not many bugs during my playthrough and enjoy most of my experience but i really wished it had more rp opportunities and felt more like a finished game
I feel a Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord coming 😁
I really had high hopes for Starfield, but I gave up after insufferable number of loading screens and repetitive gameplay. My channel was based on Bethesda games and teaching how to mod them. It's dead now, thanks to Starfield. Time to go in a different direction...
I was so excited to see your Starfield roleplay, but then I played it... It was such a disheartenig experience for the state of AAA games. Huge let down, and I definitely don't blame you. You're making the right choice and excited to see what you get into next.
