Starfield 'Doesn't Really Even Get Going' Until Players Finish the Main Quest, Bethesda Exec Says

Bethesda has noted that it will be including Nvidia DLSS support in a future update for Starfield, along with a selection of the «top community requested features» that have been reported since the game launched. The announcement has been included in the short patch notes for today's hotfix update, which includes some stability and frame rate tweaks. 

Starfield players have discovered that the game doesn't render the sun if you have a Radeon AMD graphics card. 

If you're playing Starfield on an AMD graphics card, there's a good chance you've missed one of the most glaring bugs in the game, because you just won't have seen anything. The AMD-sponsored Bethesda game simply doesn't render a local star from any planet without an atmosphere on an AMD card.

From what we've seen so far of Wonka, the origin story of Roald Dahl's eccentric chocolatier from Paddington director Paul King, it looks like it's set to be an all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza. 

While playing through Starfield's 19 Main Missions you'll unlock some cool things, but one set of very cool things is a game changer. We will spoil it below for those who are OK with that sort of thing, but suffice it to say: We highly recommend playing through a specific amount of the Main Missions to unlock a very cool thing that you'll want to use in the remaining Main Missions, Side Missions, faction quests, and basically every opportunity — and it's something that, if you get it early, it gets even better the more you play.

Bethesda’s sci-fi epic Starfield has managed to cross over six million players in less than a week. Xbox confirmed the news on X (Twitter) Thursday morning. The company said that it’s the “biggest Bethesda game launch of all time.”

Video games and parents often do not go hand in hand. They are often put on the back burner, if their existence is acknowledged at all. Sure, sad-dad games like The Last of Us or God of War (2018) received acclaim, but they’re the exception.

Starfield director Todd Howard has addressed the space RPG’s lack of ground vehicles and explained that the decision was made so that the developers could focus on on-foot exploration. 

If you've been exploring planets in the future, as told by Starfield, you might have noticed a distinct lack of land vehicles. It seems cars, trucks and SUVs are a thing of the past in Starfield's vision for the stars, but game director Todd Howard says adding vehicles would «change the gameplay.»

Those potatoes do look good as they move.

Starfield's design director has said Bethesda regained the trust of players after fixing Fallout 76 following its rough launch.

Compared to other RPGs, Starfield isn't a particularly puzzle-heavy game, as there won't be many times during main or side quests where you will need to use your brain to proceed further.
