This is the first I've heard about Bethesda talking a cut. I don’t think enough information has been released to positively say if your statement is right or wrong.

Besthesday talking a cut is just me speculating, well all of what I said is based on Tom saying modders could make a career

There are many ways you can interpret that comment. People could have a patreon and release episodic content for starfield. Or maybe people could make custom ships or skins for players (maybe I should get into that)

Yeah, was quite long on a mechanical HDD.
Probably now the landing and taking off will be equivalent of elevators loading screen in Mass Effect :)

So glad HDD's are slowly becoming a thing of the past. They should not be used for gaming or as OS Drives in this day and age. I only use them for data storage.
 
There has already been people that have made careers from mods. Either as clear experience or mods that became full games. CounterStrike, Squad etc.

I took that line to be, modders will be able to change most things they want to; make what they want to make. blah blah It'll be the new Skyrim. As normal, project goals shift and marketing phrases should be taken loosely.

VERY much this, marketing phrases are marketing phrases, only a fool or an idiot takes them literally. Contrary to what you might have read in marketing phrases, Persil doesnt make your clothes whiter than white, using L'oreal products doesnt mean you're worth it and Red Bull doesnt actually give you wings :D

Maybe, we'll have to wait and see. I tend to be optimistic about games, I'd end up never buying one if I was as miserable about them as many gamers !

I tend to be pessimistic because most triple a games have been a disappointment for me and it's best to be pessimistic and be blown away by a game when u eventually play it vs being optimistic and hyped and when you play it, it sucks (looking at you Cp77!)

I am actually like that with cig and star citizen. I'm pessimistic in what features they bring on each update.

I was one of the very few for instance that said how the previous 3.18 was going to be a broken mess and delayed (it was meant to be out on q3 last year but came out around April this year lol).

I thought rule number one was to not be hyped and optimistic about any game until you play it yourself and to never pre order?

Not a rule I follow that one...there are some titles I pre-order. For example, when Civilization 7 is available I will immediately preorder it, likewise if they ever make a Metro 4 I will definitely immediately preorder it, or if they ever made an Oxygen Not Included 2, that'd be another definite preorder. I've already gone into , in extreme depth on the forums, the whys and hows of my preordering method in regard of what I would preorder and what I wouldnt and why, so I wont cover it again here :)

Its a good rule not to be overly hyped about a title though but one can still be optimistic about them, optimism =/= hype, you can have one without the other, if you are sensible. Pessimism isnt something I am generally able to do, I'm just too happy and have too good a life to be pessimistic :D

Yeah, I try and do this also. Main thing is try and keep expectations low. For me Starfield needs to be Fallout/Skyrim in space and I will be happy. Don't need fully explorable planets, vehicles etc. Rather have good gameplay and story. But if I can have both, even better obviously :)
 
I'm currently having a blast with a newly reinstalled and heavily modded Fallout 4 in glorious ultrawide, so yeh, Fallout 4 in space will suit me fine as well.

Its amazing how many RPGs forget that the core of a good RPG is lore and storytelling, everything else is merely snacks on the table.

Kind of fancy playing Skyrim again. Might mod it up and play again. Really enjoyed it as I recall.

I think you misunderstood this.

Some will think you can traverse across a whole planet freely as that is the impression you get from the trailers etc but when tod was recently asked that question, he didn't give a yea or no answer.

Very vague and that's a red flag

It wasn't an issue in NMS because they made the planets tiny. Even the big ones, you can traverse their circumference on foot (assuming no oceans in the way) in a double digit number of hours. That's what TNA meant when he said " Unless these planets are a tenth the size of our moon."

You can have realistic size planets OR have fully explorable planets, if you have both it doesn't actually make for a very engaging game as there's simply too much emptiness. Filling up a realistic-planet-size area of land with interesting stuff without procedural generation is not practically possible.

Rumour has the update will be released at the same time as the Fallout TV show (only ten episodes :() to maximize new sales, and that is likely to be October this year.

Couldn't wait that long, has been over a year since I last played FO4 (since my new build), will do a new replay when the update drops.

Then they can make the planets small too.
