- Talking about Starfield after a thorough run of the title via a review copy from Bethesda quite a bit in advance. As long as this review is, I deliberately left out a lot of stuff that would've constituted spoilers.

Mortismal actually has a hyperbolic time chamber he plays games in for 1000 years the day before they come out
I wonder if he lets anyone borrow that...
Hyperbolic?

I have an air fryer, does that count?
A 100% review before the game is even officially released. I have no words for how impressive that is.
Depends on how big the game is, no?
@@debrickashaw9387 Ye bro?
He literally said in the first 10 seconds 120 hours@@debrickashaw9387
@@debrickashaw9387True enough - but this one looks to be pretty big!
I suppose there aren’t any/many decisions you can take that lock off some content until you replay the game and choose differently next
@@debrickashaw9387 120 hours for 100%. Pretty bad for an open world bethesda game, but better than most stuff, as long as it's a good 120 hours.
Besides being a review, this is also a fantastic overview of the game before I start playing it! Thank you.
Didn't peg you as a fan of video games. Much love from Hyderabad.
@@rehanquadri7215he has videos covering games in his channel
As someone who has followed you for a long time and is now long term traveling India I enjoy that you and I have the same taste in games.... Just hit 20 hours of starfield in 2 days 😂😭 only left the house to get water and momos.
Hej karl. Whats up? Love your channel man.
Have fun with the game Karl
This is insanely impressive. Not only did you 100% complete such a vast game, but you also created a 52 minute video on it. All in the timespan of just 2 weeks. Bravo sir!
I went through the acheivement list and it does look pretty easy. The game has an insane amount of content don't let the 100% fool you
If its by achievements...@@BossLevel10
No way he fully 100% the game, maybe he 100% the main story quest, that would be easy enough, but to do every side quest, random mission, scan all the planets and their resources, flora and fauna... I don't think so. I've been finding mission in backwater tents in the middle of nowhere I was just lucky to find...no way he got all those.
now i won't consider this Vast if game is not out and it's already finished 🤦🤦 pass
@@tommydee3765*eyeroll*
What a mad lad, just a casual 120 hours. Keep up the good work!
He got the game 9-10 days ago! Thats a lot of game time. Kudos.
and dont forget he probably spent about the same time editing all this so its probably like 200 hours + of work to do all this
I doubt it took 100+ hours but it definitely took a while@@MrRafagigapr
more gigbyates than hours you’ll spend. on this game 😂
@@ziwurihe literally says in the video he played for 120 hours. Unless you think he's lying?
BG3 and now Starfield? You're absolute beast Mortem!
Thank you for your incredible dedication :)
BG 3 wasn't after 100%, that still has to arrive.

More of an indictment to how small the game truly is.
Less than one minute and he address this 😂😂😂
a rare positive Starfield review.
I'm so glad I found your channel and have watched its remarkable growth over this last year. Your style is great and you give solid information without spoilers. Super job, thank you!
I check his videos every morning just to hear that soothing voice. No homo.
@@quincymims2580 LOL same...that opening theme too is like a hit of dopamine.
I really appreciate the warnings/time stamps you give so I can watch exactly what I want to and skip anything I don't want to be spoiled on (even minor stuff that.)
Agree it's kinda contrary(?) when it comes to youtube since channels rely on watch time, so i appreciate how selfless creators were; more so reviewers mostly when they add timestamps since that they give values to audience time.
Fun fact: knowing the result of a story actually ENHANCES your enjoyment of it. There's a psychological study on it. Knowing minor stuff will absolutely not ruin your enjoyment of it.
@@10pmmemes88 Press X to doubt, some rando study doesn't mean that knowing spoilers is better than the effect of suspense ,build up, reveal and conclusion. That's a ridiculous premise in of itself, although I am aware of some ppl who deliberately look for spoilers for the media they consume.
@MFDOOOOM I mean if it's an actual scientific study backed up with data from a large population of people and from a credible organization then you can't really deny it's findings, no matter your feelings in the matter...but yeah no source so can't confirm.
Man it's so awesome to see how much your channel has grown; truly well-earned and here's hoping you find even greater success.
The contrast in quality between this and IGN's review is insane. Thanks for taking the time to go into detail and write a proper review. I got this as a promo when I got a new GPU but it's hard to decide if I want to put BG3 down to play it. Just installed it :)
Back to Baldurs Gate 3 already I guess?
@@daveb7049 Lol yeah. Been playing BG3 on and off but haven't touched Starfield since the first couple weeks. Never even finished the main storyline because it was so bland.
I'm genuinely so happy to see Mortem's channel get the recognition and praise it deserves
Recognition - fine, but praise??? what is he a dog that needs to be told hes a 'gud boi'?
Likewise. So well deserved!!
@@ozymandias7592 Are you trying to imply Mortem ISN'T a good boy?
Doin tricks on it lol
@@ozymandias7592Praise isn't an action verb for only dogs lol.
You feed your dogs, should you not feed your kids because it's something that also happens to dogs?
So are there only 4 major cities on 1000 planets?
Yes, which is very weird because as humans, we're disturbingly prone to colonizing everything we can- even already occupied land. We're so adaptive that within generations, we generally can withstand different climates better than the first generation. I'm.not just talking lower oxygen, I'm talking places with different temperature and weather extremes, to the point that adaptation can bite outside the preferred areas. Same thing with eating- Europeans developed the ability to digest and process lactose with less issue than most areas of the world, which has endured through the ages.
All sorts of reviews coming out, but the minute I saw yours I knew it was the one I needed to see. Love your presentation style.
You are a beast. The depth and dedication you put into your content is so freaking wild. I legitimately know everything I need to know about this game to decide if it's worth my time.
after the negative news about it i never got into this game, but i just watched this one and i'm now downloading it haha
Seriously congrats to you for getting a review code man I’m so pumped your channel has reached this point and will just continue to grow
I came for the WoTR builds, I stayed for the 100% reviews on embargo lift. Incredible.
SAME 😂
This is the best and most informative review I've watched for the game. You actually gave information that's good to know for playing the game. Thank you.
Instantly subscribed for the dedication and clear explanations.
Keep it up ❤️
Your channel was the first one I went on as soon as I had time to watch before the release. Love the way you present your views about the games you play and I'm really happy we can have such a reliable source of opinions and analysis in your channel.
A 52min review and 100% already, WOW!. You're amazing, and my go-to for reviews. Thanks a lot for this one, I can't wait until 7pm
The amount of work you put in is bloody incredible. Hats off to you, sir!
I hate the English.
So comprehensive and informative, thank you. And great job w no spoilers, crazy you side stepped it w this much of an in-depth dive lol.
i just found your channel while looking for baldurs gate story recaps, and listened to both of yours in full for bg1 and bg2 today. you are so succinct and to the point, love your vids so far man
As excited as I am to slowly delve into Starfield, I'm even more excited to see what the modding community comes up with to shape it into something even greater.
if its even getting close to skyrim in terms of moddings it will be a must buy.
Not sure there will be a community for this game.
@@etienne8110 you saying this just shows you dont know the lengths modders will go to make the game better
@@hyprpnda8888so basically the same situation with minecraft.. leave it to the modders to make the game better and not the multi billion company
@@vannchansenany10d32 There's no such thing as perfect. You can always make things better. And the breadth of things modders can cover exceeds what is feasible even for the largest companies.
So the best thing they can do is providing robust modding tools.
Truly great review! Lots of information about different systems and a refreshingly open minded review of the game. Very great to see
I love how in depth these reviews are. Thank you!
Wow i didn't expect that review so fast, The Power of Mortismal
And this while still doing BG3 100% and other content!!
Mad respect, you're amazing man
I'm saying. I'm at 110 hours in bg3 and still in Act 2.
@@peterdinklage2165 I'm like 70 hours in and I haven't left act 1, but I've been bouncing between 3 separate campaigns and trying different builds and stuff.
I've never played D&D before so it's been quite a change from the rpg's I usually play, and as I learn more about the game in one campaign, it inspires me to hop to another campaign and try something new. It's kept me from save scumming while also allowing me to experience more of the content, because there's just so much you can do .
@@99mage99 I just save scum and reload whenever I get an outcome I don't like or do something stupid 😂. I admire your dedication tho, 3 playthroughs at once is a testament to the games quality
@@theanimerapper6351 There's nothing wrong with save scumming, so long as it is how you personally have fun with the game.
The 3 play throughs at once are more of a symptom of me having never played D&D before, and wanting to try different races and classes before I finish the game. But, it's also a good time to pick the other dialogue options and make choices I otherwise wouldn't have.
I'm really looking forward to doing a Dark Urge play through as well. I usually RP as the "Good Guy", but the dark urge seems like the perfect chance to be comically evil.
you can also play the dark urge as the "good guy", seems like a very compelling narrative@@99mage99
Thanks for the review man really liking the way you do your stuff and your one of the one I look up to when it comes to RPGs. That 100% must have been brutal so take care !
Very impressive stuff Mort and a high quality and informative video as always.
Having been here since like 5k to see you have EA to some of the biggest releases on the best PC you can get, knowing your past almost brings me to tears. SO happy and proud of you ♥
he's not gonna sleep with you
@@poopyguitarist69Not with that attitude
@@RyanJinxedCoffeepig ups 🎉
Nice
@gamersRdumb Lies. Mortim sleeps with all of his faithful servants...I mean subscribers.
You're the reviewer I trust the most to be upfront and reasonable about both bad and good qualities in games. I've been waiting on your review specifically to determine whether or not I'm buying Starfield now, but I never expected it to be a 100% literally as soon as legally possible. That's pretty insane and also makes your review meaningful because this isn't just first impressions or even regular review but rather your thoughts on the the ENTIRE experience of the game. Very well done, and I hope your diligence brings in all the views it warrants.
So are you gonna get it?
@@TheStonewall117Why does that matter?
@@TheStonewall117 Eventually yes, definitely. I one of those folks that rarely buys games right at release, and almost never preorders. Following this video, I won't buy it immediately because of issues of personal taste that aren't meant as a criticism of the game's quality (which sounds top-notch). I prefer odd and fantastical settings to "hard" sci-fi, I'm a big fan of varied and meaningful companion characters (which doesn't sound like a focus), and given the history of Bethesda games it's likely modders will work wonders with this game at a very fast pace (which rewards waiting). I'm also currently playing through BG3 (one of the few games I did preorder - a decision also influenced by this channel actually) which approaches a perfect game for me, so all that combined means I don't feel much urgency to get Starfield immediately. That said I trust Mortim when he says it's a great title and I will 100% be keeping this near the top of my list of next games to purchase and likely be exploring space before the year is done.
I personally watch Gameranx but I'm watching anything and everything right now as I'm waiting to play the damn game (less than 3 hours!!!). Didn't end up watching the whole thing though because it felt a little too spoilery for my taste, but I did watch the conclusion and yeah, good to know someone who 100% the game thinks it's worth it
No cutting corners here, PC build
It breaks my heart nobody recognizes the “adoring fan” from oblivion
I literally laughed when I saw the character haha I'm surprised I haven't heard more about it
This is the first review that made Starfield sound fun to me - the others have been so focused on the combat and procedurally generated stuff. Thanks for talking about actual rpg mechanics, factions, companions, etc
Game sounds mid
@@ItsAlpacaMan great, don’t get it
There's a lot of negativity surrounding the game, mostly by people who just want to drag it down. The game is genuinely fun.
@@ohmnesiaOr people pissed that Todd lied once again. Not anything new though that Bethesda fanboys will slurp up whatever he puts down
@@spendsshanks6050 Lied about what? Betheseda hasn't lied about a single thing. People are just making shit up because they set wrong expectations for themselves.
One question, how do companion skills factor into gameplay? Can you send a companion to pick a lock, stealth kill an enemy, or craft stuff? Or do you need to do everything skillwise that you want to do?
They can be assigned to work on things in your outposts, combat they just kind of attack based on what they have and can't be given orders
@@MortismalGaming Thanks for the info, it's a shame they can't do more but I guess that also lets you take whatever companion you want without worrying about getting the one with optimized skills then.
@@MortismalGamingdang, fallout 4 and skyrim both had that feature.
@@Tacdelio Its classic Bethesda style.. all in all, its Skyrim/Fallout4 in Space... those who liked these games, will like this game too.
@@v4v777but it's missing a feature that both fallout and skyrim had is what he is saying

You are the man, Mort. I come to your channel first. You are always balanced, detailed, and easily accessible/understood. Thx for what you do, and thx for getting me pumped for this game.
Thank you for one of the few competent reviews out there. You are a gem sir.,
The review I was looking forward to. Appreciate the work you put into it ! :)
Ready to watch this channel take off. Proud of the work you put in.
Thank you for going into depth about the gist of the game. I've been cautiously optimistic about it so far, and this video answered a lot that I was wondering.
Really good review. Well paced, informative but not bloated. Nicely done.
I love you. I've been waiting for this! Never expected that you would have finished it so fast! Keep up the good work!
Was definitely not expecting this review from you already dude, great work. Watching as I type can’t wait to see what you think.
That animation loop of the space cowboy at 45:00 LOL
Thanks for another great review. It covers everything i need to know without the spoilers! ❤
When your review is trending and more viewed than an ACG review of the same title you know you've made it to the top. Amazing work as always. Congrats on the well deserved views!
I guess but ACG is overrated imo, SkillUp is the gold standard but Mort is up there with him regardless of how many views he gets
@@fatbroccoli8for me I think it's more of what genre and game focuses the reviewer excels. Myself doesn't lean towards skill up when it comes to reviewing gameplay focused titles 🙆
You and ACG are my go to reviewers. Amazing work 🎉

@@guidoc5772you serious?? You actually think Karak from ACG is paid off? 🤣🤣 He don't even have a damn sponsor, he is the TOTALY OPPOSITE!

That aside, i totaly agree with acg and this site is top tier
GrimBeard
Same here, mort goes in more depth and acg covers some game genres that arent mortismals thing.
The decision to include the 'Background' option in this makes me hopeful that we'll get something similar in the next Elder Scrolls installment.
Great review. Overviewing so much of the game and it's systems is very helpful as well.
Great review Mort, thanks for your hard work. Regarding the 'Thing' you don't want to mention, that was teased in the final trailer - can you give an opinion on how well executed/substantial/enjoyable it was? Is the 'Illithid powers' mechanic in BG3 an appropriate analogue (in terms of game design, rather than in any potential narrative context)?
You have a lot on your mind. Or in it.

Just so you know, yours is the first review of this game I wanted to see and it's the first one I watched. I just can't believe it was today!
Truly an excellent review. Subscribed and and liked!
First time I've seen one of your reviews! You should be setting the standard for reviews! You give a lot of information about the game, and explain where the game can improve as well. Awesome!
You deserve all your success and the positives to come. I really appreciate the level headed delivery and thorough breakdowns. Really, really good work.
Wow. Just...wow. This is my first time on your channel, and I am thoroughly impressed. Well done. What an amazing and in-depth review.
Great review, everyone needs to watch it. The dedication you put into making this on time with release is wonderful

Thank you for the detailed insight.
Lowkey wasn't expecting you to have this out day 1, absolutely crushing it with content lately dude!
Great to see that this really is more like Daggerfall than Skyrim In Space. Amazing! Definitely going to buy it now after watching your amazing review.
What made me think about it is that you also could buy... a ship in Daggerfall
Isn't it more like fallout 4 in space tho?
Agreed, it reminds me of Daggerfall with its scope. I can understand how fast traveling around can annoy ppl, but that was 90% of Daggerfall, imo. No one was running across that map 😂
This is a great review, done very well and with good information. I’m only 8 hours in and should have watched this first. Thank you.
I learned more about this game from watching this, over any other video. Thanks for taking your time and speaking in a way that didn't seem snobby/like I was a toddler or like you were paid off or had a agenda to make yourself sound/look good.
love the detailed review. sounds like a great game to immerse myself in.
Mortis, you're a monster! Kudos on the day 1 100% review!!
Thanks for a really helpful review.
My friends have been talking about this game for more than a year now, but I had no idea what to expect, now I do. 👍
One of the best reviews I've seen in a while. 50 minutes and you managed to restrain yourself from spoiling everything, unlike most other reviews. You also played to the end of the game, unlike other reviews.
This is why I subscribe. Way to crank out this review!
Excellent review. Clear, detailed, on point and without spoilers.
You sir have maxed out the skill in your craft!
Great video! I don't hold the same opinions after playing it myself especially about the srory as I thought it was far too familiar. I am most appreciative to hear the opinion of someone who 100% it. Thanks for the video.
Best review I’ve watched, new subscriber ❤
Always amazed by how fast you 100% games!:)
Looking forward to BG4 100% review in a couple of weeks, lmfao
Really like your review style and ethics. Very informative, and like so many others, I'm quite looking forward to this game. Thank you!
Wait what the heck mortim, you are a machine. I hope you aren't over working yourself too much to pump these videos out. Don't lose the enjoyment of the videogame through the time crunch!
As always, love the content though and appreciate the grind!
Your reviews are always worth watching!🎉
Best review I've seen so far. Explain many doubts I had even after watching many others. Very good work.
Most reviews are just interested in giving a number in the end and not "reviewing" the game
First of all, thank you for the review! We all have heard about those games that did not cut it, so thank you for making this video and giving me the information I needed to go and buy this game and feel some hype for it.
Never heard of you before. You came recommended on a forum. You now have a new subscriber. Thanks for making quality content!
Just stumbled upon your channel and loved listening to this review while I’m working this weekend because of the hurricane
100% day one review….intense and awesome. As always, thanks!
Wow. Great work! Honestly.. I can't imagine how much work it was to not only play but to write, produce and edit this video.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Mortim. Nice video.
I must say, this is a great review, I love the game I’m nowhere near the time you’d put in but I’m 20 hours into it and it feels like I just started playing. I’m a huge science fiction fan and so far this game has not been a disappointment to me(you guys have to excuse my grammar mistakes,English isn’t my native language) what an absolute brilliant piece of art this review was and I enjoyed it immensely, thank you 😊
Morti, you're a treasure! Thanks so much for this hour long review
Your reviews are so incredibly thoughtful and well made, you deserve a millions subs ASAP
This is incredibly helpful for my purchase, thanks for this review!
Best review of this game I've seen. You really explain HOW it feels to play the game without spoiling WHAT is in the game.
not really, when you fail to explain what certain systems do such as the settlement building it's less than useful.
So how does it feel to play the game now that you have had the chance to play it for yourself?

Thanks for the matter-of-fact, no-nonsense, review. Pleasing to listen to and very insightful.
Thank you for this. I bought the game a few days ago and have to wait until September 6th. But I feel confident in my purchase after hearing a review from someone who has put all the hours into his review and 100% completing the game
Thank you for an actual review that explains the basics gameplay without any spoilers. 10/10
just piggybacking along this thought; I was scared to click on the review since I havent finished the main story yet. Thankfully, he didnt spoil anything
