Of course it's rent free, trannywind's game world is the size of my attic.
You're mad Morrowind had real SOVL poured into it, because the company was about to die, and nobody knew if the game would even sell. Morrowind has boring combat, but Starfield had hundreds of times the budget and manpower, and all they made was mediocrity.
Trannywind has boring everything. NPCs stand in one place and give you wikipedia text dumps.
I genuinely do not understand how someone can like trannywind

Came here for mods, came to this forum to confirm that Starfield is a heartless turd. Putting aside the woke tropes, the game itself is bland. An absolute chore to play. Combat is all it had going for it, and we can thank ID for that.

lol, I did manage to squeeze eight hours in before refunding. First mainline Bethesda game I put down and felt sick about. Fallout 4, regardless of being mediocre, was at least worth having a single or second playthrough with.

It's a boomer game. Todd's magnum opus, the game he always wanted to play.

Gonna be honest, the non-whites kinda take me out of the fantasy of exploring space. Wish it was a bit more realistic. I'd accept Asians and maybe a few slavs at best.

There's no evidence it's a ******. You can clone a female from a male by copying the X chromosome.

I just watched the video. It was a clone with the voice and appearance of a female, that identified as a male. Or something of that nature. Either way, I just can't.

Seems like a cheap explanation to explain why Earth all looks the same. Is any planet in the game actually diverse like Earth in real life?

*spirits call out*

DLC.....MODS....

Yes, a few other Goldilocks planets do exist.

But (in real life) earth is actually extremely unusual, most planets are biome planets. Hell, every planet other than Earth in our own solar system is a biome planet.

In real life we don't really know enough to rule out such a planet (planets with purple light might host different life) and the truth is it would take too much work for them to actually do planets instead of empty world spaces with materials you can scavenge. I suspect support for this game will extend quite a bit to pad out some actual worlds to crawl. I have to say Earth being like Mad Max lets me down a bit.

At least tell me on some planets there is more than one city you can visit.

It's not exactly unheard of.

I'd be more willing to believe it was part of an agenda if it was F->M rather than M->F, which is actually possible.

Don't think so. This is definitely some laziness. Population overall feels very small, I'm unsure if it's explained through the story as I don't know how many people got off earth rather than perished on it.

Yay. So for me to enjoy the game one day as usual I will need to suffer and mod it for hours on end. Thanks for the info.

heh, forgot about this:
In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Divayth Fyr (a very powerful, very old wizard), made four female clones of himself: Alfe, Beyte, Delte, and Uupse. They're variously described as wives or daughters.

Come on, Morrowind was before the political nature of the gender bender bs. It was from a pure creative expression, not political pandering.

That's something reddit ran with. He took the form of a woman, being a deity, and is referred to as a man throughout the game.

I've seen zero references to either Elder Scrolls or Fallout. I expected some Fallout references so I'm kinda surprised.
