Starfield

There's definitely something up with waypoints in the game now, and it didn't seem to have the issue before the FOV slider patch. If I set it to show all missions' waypoints some will show up off in the distance on a planet when it actually is in a different star system, and this happens quite frequently. And some mission waypoints don't show up at all now, unless you flip it back to tracking a single mission, then they do.

NG+9 now, took a bit of a break there too... almost there...

What do you get out of going NG+ that many times? Maybe that's a spoiler but whole NG thing puzzles me.

I've never made it that far in any game that has it so I guess that's why I'm puzzled!! lol

Started playing this again night before last. Still only level 14

Well NG+10 is the "max", each NG cycle you get a slightly better set of armour (but still, armour you get normally in the game is better). The ship stops at NG+6. Apparently the difficulty increases along the way too, so at NG+10 you take 100% damage but you only deal 50% damage.

If you are doing it "properly", each NG cycle also resets all the temples, so you are supposed to complete as many that exist to level up your powers to X (10) too. That is 240 temples to complete, and I despise them, and barely use powers, so I've mostly skipped that.

I don't think that's really spoiling anything. I'd probably advise people not to bother with NG+ now. Do it once to see the "end" of the game, but then load your prior save before NG+ and continue playing however you feel fit. Maybe stick to the first NG+ cycle if you feel like making different choices in playthrough.

At this point though, I'm close to the end of the grind, so might as well hit 10

I am curious to see how the DLC will fit into things though.

Overall and recent reviews have sunk to 'Mixed' on Steam.

Without a doubt Bethesda's worst single player reception I can think of. F76 might still have gotten worse press overall but it's an MMO. Starfield needs a CP2077/NMS rebuild and investment IMO. It's not wholly awful, but it's shadow of what it could have been IMO.

Agreed. I'm still in NG+ and skipping story mode. Really hoping there's some future content DLC for it.

I think NG+ would have been better if instead of randomly giving you alternate openings, that they were static so you'd get a new one each time. In my 9 runs, I only got 1 unique one (Andreja). I've read of the others but never gotten any of them.

Well I see there's some new content added today (some sort of bounty hunter type stuff) along with built-in modding support. DLC still has no date but sometime this year.

I fired it up for about an hour, feels like the game runs smoother/higher FPS now too? Maybe I'm just not remembering correctly, but it seemed to play a lot faster.

So they added a rover... Still not great but a bit of an improvement I guess if you want to roam the rather lackluster exploration options.

This guys videos are a little long sometimes but entertaining:
