    I know Empyrion, which looks similiar in functionality. Anyone who knows both, how does Starfield compare to Empyrion?

      I had high hopes for Empyrion but it blossomed like I had hoped it would. Bought it around 2016 and it still looks basically the same. AI still walks around like they shit their pants and guns feel like I’m shooting with a slide whistle.

    Very true to form for Bethesda. They give the players a bunch of mechanics to play with and then see what happens. Reminds me of the bucket trick in Skyrim where you can put containers on NPC’s heads to block their vision so that you can steal from them. It’s very silly, breaks the game, and ruins immersion, but it’s a single-player game so who cares? Enjoy the silliness if that’s how you want to play.

        I recall in Skyrim, chickens could act as a witness to crimes… so you’d have to ensure there were no poultry about or you’d run a fowl of the law.
