It needs more content. It’s simple. It’s in space, show us aliens. Sci fi experiments and goop. Picture fallout but in space. Bring us that. Game is too tame, just fighting humans in space is boring.

I personally hope they stay away from aliens. It’s not realistic and there’s lots of stuff they can do without that.

Game has alien life forms, but there aren't intelligent aliens. That's a more realistic scenario than a universe teaming with humanoid style intelligent beings.

You didn't explicitly, but you suggested that aliens aren't unrealistic, while answering to a post in which user argued that they didn't want to have aliens added into the game.

Since the game already has non-intelligent alien life forms, it's fair to assume you argued for intelligent life. So, to me, it seemed you were arguing for intelligent alien life to be added to the game. If you didn't, my bad.

It’s a universe with magic powers and “multiverse” shenanigans. Intelligent alien life is more realistic than that.

Yeah, if you add alien species to your sci fi game, alien politics is also a necessity and at that point you're just distracting from the story you're actually telling with a sci fi theme park

No, but the play area of Starfield is incredibly small and it’s only like 300 years in the future. The odds of encountering aliens in that time period in a grain of sand size portion of 1 galaxy is small

Wait, do you actually think aliens are real? 🤣👽

Cause if you do I got some very rare and very expensive alien goop to sell you. Hmu.

It’s very selfish to think that mankind are the only intelligent beings in the entire universe lol

u/TouchRadiant169 Dec 04 '23

It's not selfish, it's a basic understanding of the immense scale of time and space.

Even if other sentient species ever did exist, it wouldn't be simultaneously to us. And even if by some 0.00000 [billion zeroes here] 000000001 chance they did exist simultaneously as us they would be so far away that we would never be able to practically know they existed before we ourselves went extinct as a species.

u/Cluelesswolfkin Craig Dec 04 '23

Even at a basic understanding, the chances of them not existing are extremely low when we consider the "immense scale of time and space". More so the fact that we/earth/people are a little early on the supposed time scale after the big bang

u/TouchRadiant169 Dec 04 '23

Again, sentient alien life may have existed or may yet exist in the future but the chances of them existing right now are so low I can't even express it in numbers.

And again, even they did we'd never make contact before either of us went extinct because space is just too big.

u/Cluelesswolfkin Craig Dec 04 '23

I mean, idk and you obviously dk but space is so big we/earth could be the last house far off away from the mainland and we could be straight missing some Aliens doing their own thing

I won't deny that idk they exist but to say that the chances of them existing right now are low is a little far fetched. Especially from someone who just said/understood how vast space is.

u/TouchRadiant169 Dec 04 '23

If you think they exist where are they?

If you can't prove they exist and you never will in a billion years because space is too big for you or them to ever reach each other does it even matter even if they were to exist?

You might as well try to prove god exists next because your chances of doing that might actually be higher.

u/Cluelesswolfkin Craig Dec 04 '23

Lmfao thank you for admitting defeat

u/TouchRadiant169 Dec 04 '23 edited Dec 04 '23

Defeat? Do you think this is a fight? Surely you aren't that stupid?

How did you come to that conclusion?

Not being able to prove or disprove little green men isn't the "victory" you think it is. It just means even the basic concept of your sentient aliens that are somehow like us is as fictional as Harry Potter or God.

I've noticed you even capitalize the word "Aliens" like you're talking about God.

Their is as much evidence that they are real than their is that they aren't real. The total being zero on both sides.

u/TouchRadiant169 Dec 04 '23

I mean the fact that you can't even write a basic sentence explains so much about your belief in aliens.

u/Arudoblank Dec 04 '23

Ah, you never learned to read, I get you.

u/Own-Success6237 Dec 04 '23 edited Dec 04 '23

I mean after reading your comment that has grammar on the level of a 3 year old I kind of wish I never learned to read.

"Their"? Instead of there. And the fact that you wrote that there is as much evidence for them existing as there are for them existing? Lol wut? Did you tie a knot on your brain? I see you edited your post now but you still forgot to fix the multiple "their" where there should be there.

It doesn't surprise me that dumb people believe in aliens, though.

You and the other guy are so dumb you even started fighting each other even though you're both in on the same delusion 🤣

I wasn't disagreeing with you I commented on the guy mocking you for believing they could be.

The United States government pretty much said so.
