MODERATORS
Todd Howard, whispering:
you’re welcome
I’m not a fan of the big banner on the screen, but it’s an otherwise nice looking menu screen.
That's how they do things in FO4 and FO76, no surprise really
Oh joy, nice empty space on the right so they can bombard it with advertisements for random bullshit.
I miss a clean layout like Halo: Combat Evolved. Just the basics, nothing more, nothing less.
Personally don't mind a bit of development news, patch notes, expansions pack adverts etc personally. It's empty space and if you don't want to look at it then you can be past it in 0.5 seconds anyway.
Obviously if its XP boosts and annoying DLC adverts then it can get to fuck though.
You don't mind the stuff that should be there but we both know they're going to exploit that blank space.
Don't worry, there'll be a mod to remove it on day 1.
Not on consoles, it looks like
both fo3 and fnv have empty space on their main menu. same with skyrim. nobody fucking complained
All those games came out over 10 years ago when this wasn’t being done.
And I’m not complaining about empty spaces but the ugly, unnecessary ads they litter the menu with and designing empty spaces specifically for that purpose.
Oldrim sure but not Special Edition. I don't own Anniversary so I can't comment but my assumption is that it won't be any less than Special Edition. Fallout 3 and New Vegas benefit from not being tied to the Creation Club where this bullshit originates from.
Special edition also has empty space and all the game launch options are in the bottom right.
Looks to me like the next evolution of the Skyrim and FO4 menus
Is there a leaked copy out there or something?
the preload started yesterday and people have been datamining.
Reviewers have been given early access but aren't allowed to release info until the 1st of September.
Will mounts cost $30 and starships $100?
Jokes on you I already spent over £4k on star citizen
And I was mad about throwing away whatever the lowest kickstarter pledge was to get that vaporware
I hope I can mod a replacement image without too much trouble-- that flare on the right is uncomfortably bright when the image is expanded to full screen on my desktop monitor. There's all kinds of pre-existing Starfield art assets that would work, starting with official wallpaper that scales up to 5K.
I would imagine the background is animated in some way, perhaps even changing every time you launch the game
