Idk. I also wonder why Nvidia with their extremely larger warchest can't buy these sponsorships.So if this one Chinese guy can implement DLSS without the game dev being involved, what's stopping Nvidia from doing it? Legal stuff?
Personally I dont think Nvidia cares.....why? They make their money selling chips for AI that gaming is like not a big deal anymore for them.Idk. I also wonder why Nvidia with their extremely larger warchest can't buy these sponsorships.
New skill screenshots, just 4 of them though.

Some leaks from today
Bad news about on-foot exploration
These are all mechanics Bethesda could have announced themselves but they chose not to because it makes the game look bad.Good Lord dude don't you want to play the game yourself and experience these things fresh without having every single minute detail spoiled before playing one second of the game??...it's insane how you want everything spoiled beforehand

Tragic end for Tyronefield.

Pete Hines Q&A (summary at the bottom)
View: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1907198784?t=4h47m24s
Summary
- Mod Support?
- We have mission boards and like, you know, this planet is looking to delivery a bunch of these resources right, and that's like "go build an outpost on this planet and mine this resource, and have ships carry it" sometimes it's like "hey we have 2 people here that need to get to the Mars Mining Colony" and it was one of these moments where I accepted it, and I'm playing a little bit and then I put it down and went on a trip. I came back, was doing more quests and there was these 2 people like "Who the HELL are these two. Like WHY ARE YOU ON MY SHIP?" I was like oh my god, I was supposed to be taking them to Mars and totally forgot. I better hurry up or I'm about to fail this quest.
- Boost Packing. Pick Boost Packing. Like all skills, until you learn it you CANNOT use it.
- You can remove bounties. Because there are so many factions, you can go to different places and tick some of them off. Like the Crimson fleet is hellbent on killing you, or you pissed off the Freestar Collective, you know you can always undo and find ways to roll back decisions you made. But just like, try. See what you have fun doing and do it.
- The beginning of the Vanguard, before you even join he'll tell you like go downstairs, go to this thing and you'll go through this museum exhibit that does an awesome job explaining what happened. Why aren't we on earth, what happened to earth. Who are these religious nutjobs, what's the UC. Like okay I'm caught up to speed now on like what's going on in this world.
- Can NPCs pilot your ships?
- Can you kill Important NPCs on purpose or accidentally?
- Can you loot spacesuits off NPCs?
- Fly freely between planets in a system?
- There are times where I'm like, "dude I'm iron man". I'm flying around in a pack shooting rockets and it like, I'm a badass.
- I can't even talk about the combat and how I play without giving you spoilers. You need to try some of the main quest and you're gonna like, uh oh now I get it. Now I get why I have to do this and why it's a big deal.
- Spacewalking in the game?
- There's a lot of emergent stuff in space. You're used to being in Skyrim and walking around, and like, you know a bandit jumps you and there's little combat situations - we have to do that in outer space as well. You can't tell people be in a spaceship and be a spaceship captain and not find things in space. So there's different ships you'll come across. Some of them are flying around, some of them are derelict, some of them are exploded. There are star stations, but like the ability to like, I came across this thing and they wanted my help but what planet was that. "Oh sorry, we can't help." We can't tell you what planet that was but what we CAN tell you is everybody gets a chance at that, at some point as you're exploring. It's less about where and more about when we put that in front of you.
- I have to go do things around the house, but I will leave a ship just sitting there in outer space so I can listen to the music because it's unbelievable how good it is and how it amplifies the emotion and the tone of the game as it progresses.
- It pulls you in in a way, that truthfully, I find that's magical. (not info but an interesting anecdote)
- There are companions who will think less of you when picking locks.
- You have to spend a lot of time being a pilot to be a better pilot.
- So you can't just see a Class C ship and go "oh I'm going to capture that and fly it around." Well, not if you don't have the piloting skills to pilot a Class C ship. You're not going anywhere. You have to spend time and getting to be good and piloting ships if you wanna fly higher class ships.
- You don't have to engage in ship combat if you don't want to. Just grav jump to another system if you don't want to deal with that combat, we want players to feel comfortable to do whatever they want in this game.
Unclear how it's bad news. Reminiscent of the "Uh oh, Fallout 4 map takes only 11 min to run across?" reddit threads. It's not a useful metric in isolation and out of context, and really has to be considered holistically - meaning as part of the overall gaming experience.Bad news about on-foot exploration.
My initial reaction was disappointment. But then I think of how vast No Man's Sky was, and how empty it was at the same time.Unclear how it's bad news.

If BGS built maps that took a day, week, month or more to walk all the way around, would it add meaningfully to the gameplay experience? It would satisfy a few nerds that want the game to be something it's not - a SIM - and bore everyone else as a "walking simulator".
Regardless, how mapsizes "feel" is going to be subjective, and impossible to judge without playing for yourself and considering them within the overall. It's possible they do end up feeling "small" for some players - the game shouldn't be immune to criticism - we'll see!
Yeah, and remembering Skyrim, the phrase often repeated about its map was "a mile wide and an inch deep". In RDR2, some wished the map was way bigger, while others complained it was "too big and everything took way too long to get from place to place, I got bored and never finished." etc.My initial reaction was disappointment.

So this might be a good thing, might not.

I've seen firsthand the design decision discussions that can go on inside a game developer, and the pattern I noticed consistently when early alpha games were being focused-grouped is that what gamers think they want, and what they end up actually enjoying and being the most engaged by, are often vastly different.
In general, you really DON'T want massive maps, because all it means is there is going to be a lot of nothing to do. Sure a company can procedurally generate vast swaths of whatever, but that doesn't mean it'll be interesting. We've been doing that since the days of the OG Elite. Fun tends to happen when the maps are full of stuff to do. Tears of the Kingdom is a great example. The map is just stuffed full of shit. You will constantly find yourself getting distracted to go explore something you've come across. It actually feels bigger than it is because there's just so much to find everywhere. A curated experience, with lots to do, is way better than a whole fuck-ton of nothing.My initial reaction was disappointment.

So this might be a good thing, might not.
People are selling their AMD keys for $35.$70 though...
It's not that I can't afford $70, but the principle of the thing may prevent me from buying it until it goes on sale...
...by a lot.
I'll be keeping an eye open for the $34.99price point I think.
Yep i just sold both my starfield amd game codes. A premium for $70 and a standard for $40. Used the hardware bypass method and it worked flawlessly.People are selling their AMD keys for $35.
You can use the hardware bypass method posted earlier or just wait for the rewards program to distribute the steam keys, assuming they're sharable.

Retail, green man still has it for $58.

DLSS mod might be your saving grace. Guess it depends on your resolution.I wonder how will it run on a 2080Ti. Will I need a new GPU after 4 years?
The amount I've spent individually buying gamepass games is less than the cost of gamepass over the same time period, with the added bonus of owning the games forever.Glad I have it on Gamepass. Paying for games lol.![]()
I plan to play starfield for at least many months, possibly years like oblivion and skyrim, how much I'd end up paying for them to still take it away at the end? Does modding even work on games pass? Games pass games tend to be uwp.Glad I have it on Gamepass. Paying for games lol.![]()
Isn't it the rumor that it won't have DLSS, at least on launch? I play at 3/4 4K. I doubt DF's analysis will focus on a 5 year old GPU.DLSS mod might be your saving grace. Guess it depends on your resolution.
Digital Foundry will have their PC analysis on Monday.
There's 2 or 3 modders working on it. PureDark's is paid, not sure about the others.Isn't it the rumor that it won't have DLSS, at least on launch? I play at 3/4 4K. I doubt DF's analysis will focus on a 5 year old GPU.
I bought a code from someone selling it through the AMD promotion for $35
I don't think the codes are shareable...the seller needs to authenticate the hardware and it's tied to a specific AMD Rewards account (e-mail)...so only the e-mail associated with that Steam account can use the code...so if the buyer doesn't already have the eligible hardware (GPU or CPU) then they need to give the seller their AMD Rewards account user name and password to authenticate it
Nope... It does a hardware verification. polonyc2 is correct about how to do itI think the codes are normal keys after being redeemed (don’t quote me though). I got a AMD code for Jedi Survivor and authorized it through their site so now I have an Origin key I haven’t redeemed. I’m tempted to try and sell it- it should work on anyone’s setup, shouldn’t it?
For saying the game sucked, and begging, probablyI asked on Steam if someone would buy the game for me I got like 20 replies. Then got banned for 3 days on the forum said I didn't want to waste my money. Not sure why they banned me.

Can't justify it.
From my understanding the AMD code requires hardware check and an AMD rewards account.I think the codes are normal keys after being redeemed (don’t quote me though).

Your goal is to find out every single thing about this game before you play it? I try to avoid spoilers but you're actively seeking them out.I haven't watched an ACG video in 2 or 3 years. If I wanted to listen to mouth diarrhea I'd listen to a political speech.
Here are screenshots of all skills.
