Starfield – Part 17 – I Kid You Not



Starfield continues, as we turn our attention to Sarah’s tragic backstory, which is simultaneously much more complicated & hilarious than I was expecting…

  1. Sarahs quest completely shattered my immersion and any respect I had for the writing in Starfield. The audacity of the writers to let the Admiral say "How should we have known?" is baffling. Well, they could and would have known, if they actually searched for survivors, which any realistic military command would have done. Jon already pointed out how ludicrous it was of Sarah not to bother looking for survivors for 20 years, but then to go and have her put the blame on the admiral?! This must be satire… and to top it all off have random lived in structures spawn a couple hundred meters away from the crash sites…
    What state of mind must someone be in to write something like that?

  2. It's too bad that Jon didn't notice that he didn't get scanned when he entered the Wolf system, it's the perfect place to sell contraband if you don't have shielded storage on your ship.

  3. Don't right off the Wolf Den, keep in mind they did not scan you for contraband when you landed and the Trade Authority shop (that you did not visit) has 11,000 credits with a chair right next to it that you can wait for 2 days.

  4. This quest shows the issues with randomly generated stuff. Things get put where it shouldn't. Early on in my exploring I got a rainstorm on Mars due to a random encounter quest, as another example. They need to rework the system so things are blacklisted from appearing where they don't make sense and the world they're on adjusts what happens.

  5. be careful with the artifacts, after you get those on your screen, Sarah will take you on a mission, and after that there's another long-looking sequence of things that you can't break out of to do what you want… So when Sarah wants to take you somewhere for an artifact, know it's a while before you can regain control of the game… my game got hijacked, and my ship got boarded again, and i had to reload a previous save because i didn't feel like going through that… the main story characters, the Constellation people, in very small doses for me… even none at all would be best, but it's more, or less an option in the game… i hate those self-important rich pricks so much…

  6. W the actual F. Sara has multiple broken bones, internal injuries, but yet is able to survive in a hostile environment for "almost a year"?? Then when she is rescued after surviving somehow she doesn't bother to mention to the rescue crew, "hey shuttle 2 may have made it, "maybe" we should scan the planet and try to locate other survivors"?? What kind of mickey mouse, amateur, second rate, FUBAR joke of a mission was that?? Now and then rescue of crew would be a priority.

  7. My favorite part about this run is that Jon's character was relentlessly hitting on Sarah until she got shot down, and then she immediately hated her. It's incredibly realistic.

  8. A place called "The Den" is a hub for shady business dealings? Say it ain't so!!!

    Next, you'll be telling me that those things we've been seeing are, in fact, the actual terrormorphs, and it isn't just and overly dramatic name for someone's pet pug!

  9. Definitely try to get back to Hadrian's mission at some point. That one went much further than I expected it to go. No spoilers! Will just tease by saying you will learn much more about Londinion.

  10. if you go on a ship, it's like a bazaar ship with the Constellation MILF, she'll want to take you there to take an artifact by force if necessary, because he doesn't want to sell… i went there, got the artifact, and i lost my companion, and the robot, neither are following me, so i'm locked into the main plot right now unless i want to play solo… i don't have a save from just before that, so i'm going to go through with it, but be warned that if you go on that ship, maybe start that mission with her, you'll be screwed for a while as far as going where you want goes, … i'm not happy about this, not one bit… *frowns*
