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.
Pretty sad that they worked on this game for years, and a core part of the game was fixed in days.
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.
I mean they are making games for literally everyone. It was only ever going to be a watered down theme park.
That’s the direction that Howard took the company.
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.
Yeah but don’t you realize that the UI sucks and therefore Todd Howard and all of the leadership team needs to be fired?!
starfield isnt even in the same universe as madden 24. thats an insane comparison lol
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
Sales does not equal quality
well the game is quality so whats ur point?
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.
thats not what i mean, regardless of sales its a quality game
There’s a reason why people said things like “are you ready for the new modding platform from Bethesda!?”.
It’s actually very similar to Reddit and their mods, well former mods anyway. Profiting off of free labor.
I don’t remember how long it took but I had SkyUI on my first playthrough at launch of Skyrim.
Some silly UI oversights i’ve found:
- absolutely no way to tell what magazines you have and the effects
- with the powers - I can’t tell which one I have equipped or if I have enough mana or whatever it’s called to use it
Your “mana bar” is the blue line over (under?) your HP bar.
Yes, but do i have enough mana to use my skill right now? It doesn’t really tell you.
I guess it does by not letting you use it.
My biggest UI gripe has to be the lack of a Contraband menu, instead you have to search through all your gear looking for a tiny yellow or red tag.
Yeah i just don’t bother picking it up (at least after the first time). The money isn’t really worth it when you could just loot spacesuits or guns etc.
Which is hard to do when quick looting because you can’t see the tag, the whole contraband system is such a pain.
Yeah, I would like to see an overall list of buffs from magazines for sure, but good news is you don’t have to keep them in your inventory to apply!
If you only do one mod this is the one, the native inventory screens are fucking atrocious
Being a Microsoft subsidiary they could just have bundled Excel for inventory management and even that would be a better one than what we have.
Best feature imo are the DPS & Value / Mass columns.
will this mod stop steam achievements?
If it does, add in SFSE and the Baka achievement enabler, both are on Nexus as well.
It does not disable achievements.
I don’t think so but I’m running the mod that enables achievement earning no matter what so…
Does it work with a Gamepad?
Yes, perfectly!
Even the sorting?
Yes, you have to press L3 a bit more but it cycles through the different categories.
Wish Microsoft was cool about making mods compatible on GamePass.
You can install mods for the Game Pass version, the exe is different so the script extender doesn’t work but StarUI doesn’t use the script extender. I have 4 or 5 mods installed via Vortex right now for Starfield Game Pass version.
I would try to walk you through how to set it up but it was so seamless and basic I don’t even remember. Just install Vortex and point it to your Starfield/Content directory… on whatever drive you told Game Pass to install the game on.
I’m not sure how you got that to work, but it’s not that easy for myself.
deleted by creator
When you install a game with Game Pass you can tell it what drive to install to. I think by default it might just install to your windows system drive but you can toggle that option in tho settings.
I installed Starfield to my F drive so it’s installed into something like: F:/XboxGames/Starfield. I then installed Vortex. Vortex did not automatically detect it but I just hit the button to manage it manually and directed Vortex to my F:/XboxGames/Starfield/Content directory… then it picked it up and I can install and deploy mods to it just like I can Skyrim or Fallout (which I have through Steam)
Yeah I did all that. They just don’t deploy when I load up Starfield.
What mods are you using/have? The Script extender says in the readme that Game pass is not supported.
Is the exe different for Gamepass?
It’s in a separate folder with special permissions, preventing any modification. afaik it’s not trivial to “unlock”
That’s not the case. The game folder is accessible… Game pass has been doing that at least since its had Bethesda games on the service.
That being said, the exe is technically different from Steam so the script extender doesn’t work. Not actually a big issue this early in the mod scene (most mods don’t use the script extender yet). That won’t be the case forever unfortunately.
Source: I have the game pass version and have been installing mods just like I would with the Steam version of Skyrim and Fallout via Vortex
I use NileSoft Shell, a replacement for the stock Windows right click menu that adds the option to give you permission to a folder with 2 clicks. Worth it for GamePass mods.
I haven’t used Gamepass in a while, but moving the install usually works just fine with publisher DRM like that.
I’ve had no problems running mods via vortex with the gamepass version
I read on some mod pages that mods do work on the game pass version as well.
Edit: From what I read you’d have to install the mods in the Documents/My Games/Starfield folder instead of the installation folder.
Does it work for steamdeck?
