Shattered Space is out for Starfield.

So I’ve been playing it. Well, after they got Starfield Script Extender to work, at least. One entertaining thing that’s come up is Bethesda’s weird little habit of trying to pump up the drama of having my character join yet another faction. I’m always amused by that. Like I’m going to buy the DLC and not play it? So yeah, yeah, hail the Great Serpent and show me the cool ship I’m gonna have at the end of this which I’ll never fly because I actually got the corridors* to work right on my current starship. And I can go from one level to another without having to jump down some stairs.

Sorry. It’s just that it took forever to figure out how to do that. I’m gonna brag about it.

*Starfield desperately needs some designated four-way and two-way corridors that are clearly labeled. They got it working for Fallout 4, they can get it working here.

Should I play SPACE MARINE before SPACE MARINE 2?

SPACE MARINE is apparently ten bucks on Amazon (the anniversary edition is fifteen bucks on Steam). Is it worth it to play that first for the story, or should I just shout THE EMPEROR PROTECTS and get SPACE MARINE 2 when I’m tired of farting around with FALLOUT 4 until the new STARFIELD expansion comes out? …Which is in ten days, so I probably would have to move on all of that.

Modders unlock full BALDUR’S GATE 3 mod kit. :wink:

As I understand it, when Larian Studios released the mod kit for BALDUR’S GATE 3 a few days ago they left some of the tools greyed out and inaccessible. Why? Well, they say ‘complexity,’ but I suspect they mean ‘Hasbro.’ Copyright violations of D&D, copyright violations of other IPs, copyright violations involving porn* – take your pick, the company’s probably going to freak out over it. So they released a restricted mod kit.

This is why people still play/mod Fallout and Skyrim.

I’m exaggerating for dramatic effect, sure*. But headlines like this do not help inspire confidence in new games: Early Star Wars Outlaws PS5 players paid $110 only to have Ubisoft issue a new patch and tell them to start a new save file or face game-breaking bugs. The company has since tried damage control, but only because of all of the screaming.

The FALLOUT LONDON launch trailer.

I probably don’t have time to play this.

You can pick up FALLOUT LONDON at GOG, and they’re kind of suggesting that you grab a copy of FALLOUT 4 GOTY there and disable updates. This seems like a very good suggestion, because apparently it won’t work on Next-Gen Fallout and the developers aren’t even going to bother trying to keep up with the updates. I can’t say that I blame them much for that, either. Besides, I also think this replaces the base game, and people are still playing the base game. Heck, I’m finishing up Far Harbor as we speak.
