      I’m glad you made this comment because I was about to.

      Starfield, a surprisingly great framework for a game from Bethesda, but they forgot to put the actual game inside it

        Todd spent all their time and money making sure the game was utterly impossible to see without a 3000 dollar oled monitor (that LUT was a monstrosity).

          I fully agree with this, but at the same time I just sort of assume any Bethesda game is gonna require a kind of baseline mod setup just to be comfortably playable, so that almost felt like par for the course to me 😅

          More power to them, but I will genuinely never understand how people can play Skyrim or Fallout 4 unmodded or on console. I can see New Vegas unmodded, but that ain’t Bethesda anyway.

            I did use Neutral LUTs when I tried it, which at least made it not give me a splitting headache, but sadly it did nothing to fix the other issues. I got like 10-15 hours into the main story so I’d like to think I at least gave it a fair shot.

        What pissed me off about ME2, amongst other things, was them saying they’re not going to “make you go to every planet just to extend gameplay”. Only to force you to go to other planets to launch probes and gather materials…just to extend the game play

          Yeah it was annoying but the sad thing is Mass Effect 2 was still an improvement over Mass Effect 1 in that regard. As much as I can enjoy the planet sections they did overstay their welcome and actively annoy me. ME2 at least never pushed it’s luck on that front.
