Couldn’t agree more. As far as I’m concerned, that’s two fantastic games in a row put out from MS with Avowed and Indy.
Am I allowed to say I also enjoyed Starfield without being hounded out the forum?

Starfield fan here. Still need to go back to the DLC, though.

Post Redfall, i dont think an Xbox game has "missed". There has been enough variety across genre's and just fun games in general that ive been enjoying my xbox a lot more.
regarding Starfield, the game is fun and while it does have its issues, many of the people who complain about the game dumped like 200hours into it only to complain about the game. Maybe its just me, but from a price point- like dollars to hours played, Starfield is a solid game.

I'll allow Avowed and Indy since I like them, but not Starfield. That's trash and if you try to argue otherwise I will get you banned

I love starfield, it's literally the game I wish I was playing every time I played any of the modern fallouts.

Where is this loot skill? I'm not seeing it. Oh....is it something he has automatically? Really haven't noticed if so.

Starfield is an interesting one as I don't hate it, but it just doesn't grab me like their other RPG's did. I think the scope was too large and the systems not quite there to support it. I still see that there is that traditional Bethesda RPG under the bonnet, but you have to jump through many more hoops to get to the good bits.
This is where I like this game though as aside from the long dream sequences, they don't shy away from the action. It's just what I'm looking for in a pick up and play game.

So I tried out the Ranger bear pet. He's pretty great, especially if you spec to level 2 and give him the Taunt ability. Wish he was around longer but the cooldown isn't super bad.
Also you can pet him.

Starfield is my most time played on Xbox Series X, with total of 175 hours, so yeah it was very good.
Would also add to Indy and Avowed.. Stalker 2 which was awesome, some great times for Xbox.

Holy shit, this light armor is fucking INSANE !!!
+ 25% attack
- 50% damage received
+ 50% crit damage
It's in zone 4, near the middle-ish of the map, you have to solve one of those "find 3 zap points and hit them with electricity" puzzles to open the door leading to it.

I enjoyed Indy and now Avowed a lot more than Starfield personally.. 98h in Starfield and completed it
It has the problem almost every space games have, the idea of space exploration always activates monkey neurons but all of them, especially with high amounts of procedural planets, just fall flat. On top of main quests nudging to end game that was eye rolling
Still no regret playing it and ship building was awesome

I thought that negative damage reduction means you’ll get hit with more damage?

My current build is encouraging direct attack, I get 10% health back each enemy killed
Just being more careful around the bigger one's and bosses, but for the mobs, it's working out great so far.

Around 55 hours on my main wizard character I finally got to the credit roll, but I’m a fastidious map explorer. I’ll write more of my thoughts when I have more time but for now all I want to say is this game makes me glad I’m not a hardcore achievement hunter.
Looked at my achievement list and saw a ton of hidden ones I hadn’t unlocked so I revealed them out of curiosity and holy hell there are A TON of achievements in this game that are either contingent on picking specific dialog options with specific NPCs or easily missable.
And it also looks like the one for completing all the side quests is screwed behind and early side quest that, more often than not, is bugged. (You’re supposed to get a gear upgrade quest from Kai after taking down Thalla, but it’s a coin flip on whether it pops. It didn’t pop for me, and it hasn’t shown up on my second warrior playthrough either.)

We have reviewers that said Wukong has no women.,, meaning they didn’t get to chapter 4
I wish reviewers stated proof of their playtime, there’s so many frauds

Finished that part.
I did the opposite. Either option kind of sucked. Went wtih the archmage's logic.
Made it to the fourth area...
asked about the prisoners. Hilarious that one of the prisoners told me to fuck off and mind my own business. lol....I'm like....ok, fine.

The dwarves all hate you, lol. That will remain consistent in most NPC's you meet there.

I play with the loot chime off, indicators off (so no icon on breakable stuff although it’s hardly some huge mystery) and don’t use the Dwarfs ability.

Having completed it and doing a second playthrough as a lackey of the Steel Garrote, I wholeheartedly agree with you. The side quests are much better than the main quests. Maybe that’s a product of them assuming people know Pillars of Eternity lore and not bothering to fill in the gaps within the game.
I got so very tired of Sapadal’s riddles about a third of the way into the game. They dragged out that whole baby god/amnesia stuff far too long and across too many things (strangled Adra, ancient memories, dream segments).

I'm enjoying dealing with the dwarves in the fourth area. Almost don't want to bother finishing the main story. I mean....I will, but it is a bit of a drag.
Digging the variety of these areas quite a bit

Looking at the world map and how the zones you go to are divided on it, there's easily room for another zone or two for future DLC episodes, like how Outer Worlds's two DLC episodes take place in unique planets not part of the main story.
I'm definitely interested in seeing more of The Living Lands in Obsidian's vision.

OK the game runs like ASS in the cities and my frame rate dips into the low 30s during combat. When I'm out exploring away from the city it stays at 60fps even during combat.

y'all spend a lot of time cooking? some interesting stat boost food you can make
I should probably eat food more, outside of the basic health/mana food I usually eat

Every so many hours I just cook huge batches of everything, but not much inbetween. I find the cooking interface to not be very friendly - I have to manually click to craft it seems like (no button seems to make it happen..?) and then select quantity, etc.. I'd say that setup could use some work. I mostly go for stews and whatnot for restoration, but haven't messed with any advanced cooking and occasionally use the buff items like +20% damage and damage reduction on tougher fights.

Folks, make sure to have Marius with you in Zone 4. He gets a lot of character development and pretty much all NPC's there know him. Even incidental NPC's and side quest giver/targets.
A nice change of pace after him being basically a dry sheet for most of the game.

HIs personal quest is there too. It is pretty good, imo.

Who did you guys give the meteorite to?

I ended up giving it to the farmer. I reloaded after trying the priest first, just to see what they did, but I was inclined to give it to the farmer regardless because all the Ondra people do is throw shit away. Interestingly, later I went back to see what the priest had to say and there was a mini shrine there dedicated to him and an accessory for me to pick up.

I am feeling combat in this is 3D adaptation of POE combat.
It feels quite a bit luck based.
If i get lucky, one of my abilities land at right position and am able to take enemies down one by one.
If not, and they are able to gang up on me, there is no hope of surviving. A lot of battles have completely different outcomes if I reload.

Odds and ends for the night.
Currently in Zone 4, looks like the story is wrapping up to some conclusive events.
45~ hours per the Xbox app. And to think they said this would be around the same length as Outer Worlds, this is a bigger game easily both in scale and scope.
Cool spoilery moment in spoiler tags.

Convinced the priest to get a memory of me rather and I kept meteorite, then gave to farmer. Then waited a couple of days and there's a totem at the priest location and the farmer is dead (because zombies for sure killed him). This method means I got both of these guy's items.
I'm 38 hours and still in 2nd area
At this rate I'll clock in easy ~70 hours

Yeah, my Xbox app reads over 50 hours, but I know that's not right, but easily I've spent 25-30 hours at minimum, about to enter second zone. Game is pretty good size on initial playthrough, no doubt.Convinced the priest to get a memory of me rather and I kept meteorite, then gave to farmer.

Edit: That should say entering the third zone.
And I know I could have spent more time in the second zone for sure, because..I screwed up and progressed the main story, killing my access to several side quests
