ah yes, also known as the reason i haven't finished writing anything in a hot minute

do i like-like starfield

when the end game quest pops up a 'talk to your friends (optional)' bullet point and you literally struggle to think - are any of these yuck-yucks my friend? (just VASCO and Andreja qualified, the rest of the jerks get no goodbye as I ASCEND)

humans can pack bond with a pencil as dan harmon famously proved, so if i like nOBODY on your core npc roster you have failed

i think we can safely highlight the industry wide problem of WRITE BETTER COMPANIONS PLEASE

and then the writing team lands on this tone that's somewhere between ironic detachment and jokes that would've been cut from 'Old School'

like i can almost SEE the developers really sitting down and contending with what a 'Bethesda game' even is - how the player plans to interface with those expectations, what it FEELS LIKE to happily sit down to that 11th Skyrim playthru

well i just beat Starfield and have walked 20mins into the NG+ cycle -- i am having some feelings, some emotions even - but right now i am struck by how the mechanics of the game itself are really firing on all cylinders to land this strange feeling...and the writing falls short at almost every turn

rivers cuomo should have gotten his ass beat more

Antigone is a terrible lizard.

Search your heart you know it to be true!!!!

Having reached the endgame, I'm ready to call it. Minishoot' Adventures is the best Zelda game of the past decade.

my journalism senses are on fire

they've effectively -promised- people something they do not have the funding for, nor even a path to actually delivering it

oh my god it IS vaporware
