  1. Hot tip to keep up with the metric ton of Ox content lately, stream it in the background on your phone while you scavenge and loot in the game. I used to do this with diamond city radio when I played fallout 4, and now I'm doing it with ox, and Starfield. There is so much to the game that it's always good to hear the Ox perspective on things. Game on good folks!

  2. After playing this game today I just have to say it's absolutely massive like you'd think 101.7 GB on console is small but this game is unfathomable when it comes to hoe big it is but its also definitely a must play for anyone who loves exploring and seeing impressive world design and loves the satisfaction of walking around in the calmness of space farming resources

  3. I can't be the only ones that notice the Colony War was basically the prequel of Firefly? The UC/Alliance vs the Freestars/Brown Coats. Look at the uniforms for the Freestars, it's basically what Malcom & Zoe wear throughout the show.

  4. I'm having so much fun with this game and I already saw all this but I love oxhorns take.

    The only weird thing is the timelime. They barely settled for 30years after earth and they already having wars. You would think the first colonies would barely be getting comfortable/growing a reasonable population. Instead 2 years in and people already want to leave and be independent. They already have a ship building industry? Wow

  5. Apparently a lot of science-fiction was lost on the exodus from Earth, or else the Uc would know that making/using alien bio weapons is a bad idea. Who wants to bet later on in the game there will be something like a Xenomorph or Rachni outbreak that kills a lot of people that is totally the Uc’s fault?

  7. Some additional information that the uc left out about the colony wars is that they started it by slaughtering the colonists on that farming outpost plus the city of londinion is located outside of the UCs three legal star systems making it very hypocritical. And while exploring the moon of Kreet ( the one with the illegal UC xeno lab) I found several examples of a UC presence on the moon, a mine occupied by house varuun with at least one dead UC marine inside, and a makeshift encampment home to a single vanguard pilot

  8. I found myself agreeing with most of your commentary through the video, your comments hold to what would otherwise be the most likely outcomes.

    But, I also love the nuances of Bethesda's writing. We as a viewer may find the writing outlandish, yet the modern parallels are still with us today.

    The US military waged a 20 year war against the taliban, winning nearly every campaign and engagement militarily. Yet, we wholey capitulated given our failures to deal any killing blows and a domestic population tired of the 20 year conflict. Yet, few in the US government will admit we lost the Afghan conflict.

    Russian forces suffered near the same fate 30 year prior when they were thrown out by Afghan insurgents.

    Vietnam was much the same. The Tet Offensive was the VC's death knell. One last suicide mission before surrender, as US forces had won nearly every engagement to that date militarily speaking. Yet, we know how long that conflict stretched. Vietnam was lost at home in the media, and the hearts & minds of Americans. The ultimatly conflict fell to domestic protests.

    Great military powers often win the war militarily. Yet public sentiment and sour politics can still ensure a total loss… So, is the bias on the UC's depiction of events. Or, in our own perceptions of military power in war?

    I also really want a Mech now.
    Here's hoping that's a future DLC

  9. honestly the best part of this is that they do just go "The Freestar were cowards for hiding behind their civilian captains cough volunteer navy *cough*, anyways come join our vanguard fleet, a totally unique and honorable civilian captain volunteer navy"
    But yeah honestly the colony wars does just seem like the leaders on one or both sides were really looking for a fight, like there were some easy diplomatic solutions there but instead countless lives were lost over some farmland.

  10. Someone else might have mentioned this, but didn't you watch or read The Martian, Ox? Once you grow crops somewhere, you have officially colonized it.
    So, even with the laws in our world/time, the UC is legally correct to say that the FC colonized a fourth world and violated the treaty.

  11. So if you want to see the problem with making you be a military member in order to be a citizen, go read (not watch) Starship Troopers – which I noticed Starfield borrows from copiously (along with Firefly – browncoats, anyone? – and a few other scifis)
