I’ve been having fun in Starfield! This is my 1st outpost located on Codos, Akila in the Cheyenne System.

Fallout 4 vibes, big time!

20hrs in, it’s been a slow burn, but it’s kicking in SO hard now! Obsessed!

Starfield is an action role-playing game developed by Bethesda and is the first new IP developed by Bethesda in 25 years.

Yesterday I decided to pay for the premium edition which has given me early access to play the game today. I built my PC in 2017 and it only just meets the minimum required specs. I’m honestly surprised it’s lasted this long, so earlier today I finally bit the bullet and bought a new PC too.

This time around I decided to buy something pre-built from Aftershock in Melbourne. I ended up buying the ZEAL: LVL 10 AMD R7 7800X3D/RTX 4090 which will run games in ultra settings in 4K (excitement!). It should get to me next week.

Specs:
Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX | DDR5
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 5.0GHz | 8 Cores 16 Threads
32GB ADATA Lancer RGB DDR5 6000MHz (2x16GB)
Gigabyte RTX 4090 Windforce V2 24GB
Aftershock Glacier Mirror 360mm
2TB Gen4 Lexar NM790 M.2 NVMe SSD (R 7400 | W 6500)
10 x 120mm Aftershock Fans (7 x RGB | 3 x Black)
1000W FSP Hydro G Pro | 80+ Gold
Windows 11 Home 64 Bit (Activated)
Next Gen Intel WiFi 6 & Bluetooth 5.1

Starfield runs perfectly fine on my old PC with graphics set to medium setting at 1080 res. 2hrs in, it’s got me hooked already. VERY much like Fallout 4 all over again, but in a space setting, but similar vibes.

No bugs so far, everything has been really smooth. Gunplay/combat is actually great! Combat in space is AOK too! Dialogue stuff is very Fallout 4/Bethesda so far (quirky). I like it and can’t wait to play more of it at max graphic in 4K next week.
