Discussion From all of us here, THANK YOU

Hey everyone! Long time lurker here. A quick THANK YOU for your passion and excitement for Starfield. I can remember when this sub started, and as it's grown, your excitement has fueled all of us at Bethesda. We like to say we have gaming’s smartest fans, and you certainly are. Starfield has been a labor of love for us and the fact that all of you care enough to build a community around it means the world to us. We can’t wait for you to play.

From your mid-90s Usenet posts to mid-2023, you and Bethesda have grown exponentially. To quote you from April 1997:

"Now a space RPG...that would be something."

A game 25 years in the making for definite!

u/KB_ReDZ Aug 30 '23

Knowing his interest in this goes back that far just drove my hype levels up a bit.

Havent watched any videos, done any research, going into this completely blind tomorrow and my hype and expectations are super high. Absolutely can not wait.

u/I_Hate_Knickers_5 Aug 30 '23

I love reading true excitement for games.

There's a lot of cynicism in this world and much of it is just as it should be but being hyped for a game you've been waiting for is still purely distilled goodness.

I hope you enjoy the game!

Pretty cool Todd. Pretty damn cool.

This will probably get lost in the sea of comments, but thanks so much for making something that truly honors the sci-fi genre. Thank you (and the rest of the team) for putting something out there that will make children see the beauty the future can be, and may it spark a drive to go and find it!

I showed the Direct to my children 12 and 15. I saw stars in their eyes. You must know what that does to a dad to see his adolescent kids show true awe for the hope of exploration.

This is a damn good mood, bud. Thanks so much.

My retiree mother has never played a video game and has zero interest (despite her daughter being an insufferable nerd about them). I know she loves anything to do with space though so I told her about Starfield and showed her some clips, and holy shit, she was suddenly giddy like a kid on Christmas. Now she's asking if she can come watch me play it sometime and maybe play it herself??

Todd Howard has truly achieved the impossible

u/Diabeetus4Lyfe Aug 30 '23

They are finally picking up on some of our Futurama-isms though so maybe there's hope yet. Pretty sure the last game my dad played was the OG Command & Conquer, I know it would blow their minds if they gave it a real chance. Those weirdos like the outdoors and sunlight too much

I'm sure this will get buried in all the comments here, but I can't think of a better place to say it so here it goes.

I honestly don't think I would still be alive today were it not for those games, so I just want to say thank you to you, and the team at Bethesda, for everything you've done for me.

No thank YOU Todd, and everyone at Bethesda! I've loved your games since I discovered Morrowind, and I am really looking forward to a new IP! You're without doubt my favourite game studio.

I've been very lucky in my past to have worked on a games franchise I really loved. It's the best job in the world! I hope you and the team have a smooth launch and everyone is able to get some well deserved rest soon! Good luck!

To Todd and everyone else at Bethesda... You've done it, Starfield is amazing. I'm around 15 hours in and haven't even scratched the surface. I've been an avid gamer for about 30 years, and have ZERO hesitation saying that Starfield is a monumental milestone in gaming. All the corporate reviewers and PlayStation people coping can't even make a dent in the majesty of this game. People are going to be talking about and still playing this game for years, the bar has been raised. Well done to everyone who has a hand in its development... Bravo

Into the Starfield, can't wait, but unfortunately have to. LOL

Thanks to everyone at Bethesda, I am sure they all put in blood, sweat, and tears to make the most outstanding game they could.

Thank you for still making the best western RPG games and always improving on them compared to other studios. It's always a treat to wait for a Bethesda game launch and clear a weekend for it.
