I never, ever preorder. But, the Ryzen 5 CPU I just bought came with a code for Starfield. So I guess I may as well try this one out cold.
Maybe wait a month or so until the bugs are fixed. It would be sad to be frustrated by that.
Bugs are a part of the fun in Bethesda games.
I'll be playing on Linux also, so I kind of want the challenge (and the bugs) :)
They making a native client?!
I imagine it will be playable with Proton/Wine. It doesn't look like there's a native port for Linux.
No, I'll be using Proton. There's a chance it won't work day 1, but I find it unlikely given my experience lately.
Especially with shader caching, it's even possible that it runs better on Proton while bugs get worked out (that was the case with stutter in Elden Ring, which didn't occur on Linux or Steam Deck with shader precompilation).
also mods playing bethesda games without mods just feels wrong I'll probably wait a year for a good sale and a nice build up of mods
To me, playing a Bethesda game for the first time feels wrong with mods. I definitely want to experience the “original” at least one time before changing anything.
