          What are y'all doing this week? I'm going to finish up the Freestar Collective faction quest and then finally head into NG+. I was going to try to knock out some more stuff this go around, but then I decided that since I mostly did story stuff during this playthrough I might as well use the next one for some side quests that seemed fun.

          I just hope I find the message log about The Mantis again since I've heard good things about that quest but never started it on this run.

          And yay for the star fix on AMD cards, I didn't even realize that was happening until I saw some stories about it last week. It didn't seem to be present on every planet, but after seeing some screenshots of what it should look like I realized it wasn't there on some of the planets I went to.

            I just finished the UC quest line about the Terrormorphs and have the other one I'll start tonight which takes me to the UC Vigilance!! I did the Freestar quest line, and it's awesome that you get the Star Eagle ship at the end. I'm still using it, albeit modified. :) I have no intentions of getting to NG+ until I am done with the majority, if not all, side quests and 100%ing the game as best I can do! Then I'll work at going through NG+ 10 times. lol

            I'm finishing the Ryujin quest. The other faction quests were all better so far.

        Dude, this game gives me such a joyful feeling it's crazy. It's gotta be the music working on me, but I keep having this sense of wonder at every place I land on. I'm in the midst of the FC quest right now (right at the end, actually) and every planet hop is just cool as shit.

        I can see with Bethesda felt like they needed to make changes to space and travel at the 11th hour to satisfy the majority of gamers, but I really hope we get a "Sim" mode in some patch in the future that returns to the original vision of space travel with the outposts and fueling and the like.

        Not the greatest patch. Hopefully a substantial patch arrives soon.

          Yah I was hoping we'd get the DLSS patch soonish

        I'll be damned if I tried to play this game. I need a substantial upgrade just to get a little bit of visual fidelity and a decent framerates.

        I still have a 9700k and a 1080 and the game runs like ass. I get that's my fault. I got plenty of other games to play in my backlog until then anyway.

        No more getting full inventory for free from the merchant on Akila via the puddle in front of his shop, I guess.

        Lots of mods involved with this, I think. I just looked at the pictures

        Installed Fallout 4 instead. It’s so much better…like what happened there Bethesda? Lack of time?

          Shareholders happened. It's all about short term revenue.

          I am sure Microsoft's acquisition played a bit into it. When your top guys probably get paid big, they aren't as hungry to grind another Creation engine game out.

          Fallout 4 was also rushed and the story made no sense if I recall. Skyrim is the truly last great Bethesda game.

        Finished the main story and most of the good side stuff (UC, Crimson Fleet) so I think I'm done.

        Won't do another "run", kinda got my fill.

        Fun game, but they could have done so much better with ditching the engine and doing it properly.

          Might be worth checking out the Ryujin quest line in Neon (all the way the opposite end from the nightclub)
