There are potential pitfalls with procedural generation, and Starfield definitely did it poorly, but as a fan of TES since Daggerfall I’m happy to get behind this. I’m sure it’s possible to make proc-gen work well and I’m hopeful they’ll manage it. Only time will tell I guess.

It just hit 100% 🥳

I can’t say it’s something I noticed, but I’m sure there will be options to adjust that. It also seems like the kind of game that will attract modders, just like all TES games.

Thanks for the feedback. My thinking was if by going with Palit or Zotac I can get stretch my budget to include a 4080 (if going AM5) or 4090 if going (Z790 or B660 + 13600K) etc, then it would be worth it, providing these basic cards would prove reliable. I just don’t know their reputation as I’m unfamiliar with the brands, since this will be my first gaming PC.

Which CPU did you go for?

As an animal lover, I fucking loathe fireworks. Fortunately, we’ve managed to condition 3 of our pets to largely ignore them, and the 4th is deaf. I can’t help worrying about the wildlife they scare to death though.

Yes.
