For anyone who hasn’t yet checked out the Nexus since the game’s release, an inventory UI replacement mod has already been out for some days. It gives you a way more compact and useful inventory interface with clickable columns that you can sort by, and most importantly the value per mass column. The most important item stat in Bethesda games.

Another thing you can do is add temporary columns of many different stats to compare your items. It also shows that quantity of an item you already have while shoping. And probably other things.

    Standard Bethesda

    Design the whole game so that it’s equally bad on all platforms then rely on modders to make it functional on PC

      And by standard, you mean bad outright. Bethesda doesn’t get away with QOL improvements that every other major game company figured out years ago.

      I really wish this was Howards swan song instead of Elder Scrolls 6. Bethsoft is in dire need of new leadership.

        lol seriously? they had 6 million people play starfield literally days after release and it was the highest selling game on steam before early access even started. theres no way they are in “dire need of new leadership” 😂😂

          I’m sure the shareholders don’t think so, and a lot of the fans are fine. Starfield is the RPG equivalent of Madden 2024 and some folks were expecting Football Manager. Doesn’t mean anyone has to like it who loved old Bethesda games.

          I’m pretty sure OP means that THEY want Bethesda to have new leadership and, me too

            Among my top ten favorite games: Morrowind Oblivion Skyrim Fallout 3 Fallout new vegas Fallout 4

            Starfield is definitely fallout/elder scrolls in space. Morrowind and fallout new vegas, despite being very dated, I think are better than what I’ve seen so far in Starfield

            I’m still enjoying the game and think your comparison is overtly insulting to the game. We aren’t going to get that old magic back. Every game franchise gets watered down as the years go by in an attempt to maximize market share, it’s just a fact of life, and part of the ecosystem that gives us games in the first place.

            Give it a few months and grab some mods and it’ll be just like to good old days

            I get that we shouldn’t have to do that, but actually we kinda do. Better than not having a game at all.

              True.
              Starfield is set in the future.

              Bethesda did start out by making the first Madden game though.

              Both are mass market theme park games. Madden has a different pricing model but make no mistake the type of gamer (not genre) target audience is largely overlapping. These are games for casual players first

              I mean sure. If you enjoy bare bones winning no matter what and consider that a quality game, then yeah it’s a game with that quality.

              If you seriously believe sales equals quality, you’re going to be in for a shock after highschool.
