Starfield makes me sick as well and there are *no options* for changing what Haley described on Xbox. :'(

Feels like a dumb question but does anyone know how to watch the podcast early? I subscribe at $10 but darned if I know how to get the video until it's uploaded to YouTube on Thursdays. Thanks!

Hello! It's shared in the Backstage Pass channel in the Discord, have you jumped in there yet?

I'm loving Starfield. I crossed the ol' 100 hour mark, and I cannot get enough. What Jeff described regarding the ping-ponging and spider-webbing of side quests, activities, stories and unmarked adventures is so impressively consistent throughout the experience. I do further deviate from that, on occasion, so that I might survey an understandably less exciting planet for resources or to test out some new equipment. However, the promise of more curated content than Fallout 4 and Skyrim combined was no fib. It's there, spread across a slew of more established settlements and space craft/stations, all conveniently marked for the player to find should you journey to the accompanying system. I have found it quite clever how I have been guided every which direction. Fighting that flow can lead to some staleness, and a self-imposed challenge to fully survey every planet I visit is simply not in the cards for me. Letting my self get lost upon the breadcrumbs the developers laid out, in contrast, has been something magical. As Leo outlined well, it is a wonderful role-playing sandbox that offers so much opportunity for you to engage with and learn more about lore from perspectives ranging from granular to grand. The environmental story-telling, even at times in areas with no associated quest (looking at you, Colander), has been some of Bethesda's finest. The main quest took me longer to warm up to, but unlike many prior BGS games, it eventually got me absolutely hooked and invested down the line. I have cherished my time with Starfield so far, and am appreciative hearing MinnMax have respectful discourse regarding the aspects of the game that are flawed, niche, or otherwise not everyones' cup of tea - while at the same not grandstanding with blanket statements of 'objective failure' or proclamations of 'shallowness.' Allowing that sort of nuance in conversation just further indicates a basal appreciation of games in general, which as mentioned before I am appreciative of (and why I continue to love tuning in to y'alls talks!)

Yes I agree. People say “oh the first quests are just fetch quests.” Yes. They are, but in doing them they link to all kinds of interesting quests and locations. And they make you explore the city, negating the need for local maps. I know every inch of Neon and the Well and… This game has flaws, clearly, but it’s much better than many give it credit for. There’s so much here.
