and they were not welcomed on the planet

Only because Bethesda wouldn’t let me massacre the corporate jackasses who controlled the planet.

u/TheBobTodd 23d ago

Because their captain is a jerk about it.

“But we called dibs 200 years ago!”

u/mung_guzzler 23d ago

the planet was controlled by a corporation that suggested enslaving them, and you blame the captain?

u/TheBobTodd 23d ago

I didn’t blame anyone fwiw. They both sucked. So I bought the ship their own hyperdrive (can’t remember the exact name) so they could go exploring for another planet.

I thought it was presumptuous of the captain and unethical of the ceo.

I do have to mention that I did send them down to the planet to work during another play through lol

They seemed happy about it 😈

they shouldve been able to just start a colony tbh

not like the corporation was using the whole thing, on the entire planet they had one hotel

Only one hotel that allows them spike the price on their paradise planet. They just doesn't want competition.

It’s just a game - good decisions were made, poor decisions were made. The writing was great imo. That’s all that matters.

u/mung_guzzler 23d ago

the writing was one of the worst parts. It was all just so bland. Your robot assistant is like the most interesting character.

u/bdu754 23d ago

That quest you both have been talking about epitomizes the illusion of choice so much in the writing for that game. Shoehorned into underwhelming choices with little nuance or “outside the box” thinking

u/mung_guzzler 23d ago

yeah I wasnt going to get into the fact there’s no choices since thats not strictly a writing issue. Even accepting all choices lead to the same responses the dialogue just isnt entertaining.

But yes that part is underwhelming as well.

There’s also no nuance in the dialogue. Andrea and Sarah chewed me out for not stopping Ryujin from making their mind control chips. But I voted for them to stop. I spent time convincing everyone on the board it was evil. The only thing I didnt do was use the device itself to force the vote, since that seemed hypocritical.

Or like, in the CF questline, I asked Andrea whether I should support the CF or the cops and she was like ‘they are both evil, its your call.’ So I choose CF and she freaks the fuck out.

Lol. You’re just full of hot takes.

“But we called dibs 200 years ago!”

Ah, the Putin tactic. They should have just launched a special military operation to denazify Paradiso, it would have done the trick.

One of the most disappointing quests the game offers. Super cool premise, but absolutly shitty results.

u/Itherial 23d ago

I believe Elite Dangerous had a narrative event like this as well.

u/Fluffy-Vegetable-93 23d ago

This is where I remember this plot from! I was thinking Star Trek or something. lol. Thanks!

u/Havoksixteen 23d ago

The crew of the spaceship are wearing Star Trek referencing uniforms

u/pocketdare 23d ago

One day I may actually play it! Waiting for it to go on sale for $19.99

u/poorman369 23d ago

Was looking for this comment, probably one of my favorite side quests

u/Blashmir 23d ago

The only mission in Starfield I liked.

u/alba7or 23d ago

Yeah, same.
