Stop me if you've heard this one before. The longer you play this Bethesda RPG, the more unstable it becomes. Am I talking about Oblivion's reference bug, or Skyrim's PS3 lag bug? (That's our brand director Tim Clark there holding Bethesda's feet to the fire on the latter.) Nope, I'm talking about Starfield, where players who have racked up hundreds of hours—not that uncommon in a Bethesda RPG—are experiencing more crashes the longer they play.
One Missing Starfield Mechanic Would Make Space So Much Cooler

Bethesda's space-faring action RPG sets itself apart by being on a much grander scale than the company's prior games, with whole worlds to visit and spaceships to pilot through the stars. Its universe offers so much to explore and do, and even gives opportunities to customize ships in many ways. In a setting as large as outer space itself, the vast open world aspects of the adventure can be incredible, yet there is one noticeable exception to the game's activities that could have made exploration even more limitless and engaging.
Set in the year 2310, space travel has come a long way from what humans are used to in the current age. Players are not only able to customize their character in the game, but can build their own ships of any creative or practical design they can come up with. Then, using these ships, they can travel to over 1000 planets in 100 systems to find resources, fulfill quests, and experience a journey of a lifetime.Even in 2310, however, it seems that not everything is easy to do, such as suiting up and experiencing what it's like to step outside a ship in space.

Clearly, the main focus of the game is not on having a character aimlessly floating alone out in space, but the opportunity for spacewalking in small ways could be a fun and gimmicky mechanic which would add some extra bit of fun and realism to. It would also open up possibilities for more quests or even clever combat in the game. An alternative to doing ship repairs could be to require the main character to leave the safety of the ship and let them attempt to manually fix things from the outside in tenuous circumstances, for example. This could become a tedious activity if it was needed very often, but in small tastes, it would be entertaining.
Being weightless in a zero gravity instance and relying on the jets of a characters' backpack is fun and gives a new sensation that is not able to take place in many games. has excellent examples of how the physics in the game are well-designed for other zero G locations, and therefore, that effect is already programmed into the game. Combat missions in zero G are particularly satisfying, but could be even more so with an added threat of being outside the walls of a ship.
While a character is out on a spacewalk, there could be unique occasions for zero gravity combat with an added threat of floating away into the emptiness of space. Alien creatures or even backstabbing NPCs could necessitate some battling to occur in this type of situation. There are already fights that take place within ships in where zero G combat happens, and it is a very fun mechanic that is sorely underused in an action RPG adventure that takes place in

One Pokémon GO Update Would Make Catching New Pokémon So Much Better
Having new Pokémon introduced to the augmented reality world of is always exciting. For a trainer, getting to experience seeing a Pokémon that they don't already have in their collection out in the wild can provide a little hit of dopamine as they go to tap on it and try their hand at catching them. Some have noticed recently, however, that it seems that the newer creatures being added to the game appear to be more difficult to catch than the older ones, which can lead to some crushing disappointment right after the thrill of thinking a new Pokémon would be caught and can take a lot of the fun out of the game.

Changing This Starfield Weapon Feature Would Make The Game A Lot More Fun
Although has a decent variety of weapons, one particular type of weapon feels like an afterthought compared to the rest — the melee weapons. Like other Bethesda RPGs before it, offers players the option to choose between a number of different melee or ranged weapons which, in combination with the game's Skill system, should allow them to define a certain play style for their character. Unfortunately, 's melee weapons are monotonous, one-note, and unsatisfying to use, with different melee weapon types being hardly distinguishable from each other outside pure numbers.
