It runs at 30fps on all the lowest settings on a 2070 with 64gb ram and an i9-12900K.
It is quite possibly the worst performing game I have ever seen. It’s a piece of crap.
Glad I didn’t pay for this shit. And I will not. 🏴☠️ The writing and worldbuilding is probably AI and gutter tier liberal political takes anyway.
I am absolutely stunned by just how badly this thing runs like omfg I run Elden Ring at 120fps at the same resolution. What the fuck is wrong at Bethesda? I’m so mad about this I just played Armoured Core at a rock solid 144fps and it is so jarring to go from that to this absolutely horrific performance.
Playing a pirated copy at 60 fps on 5800x/3070 near max settings using the DLSS mod scaling 720p up to 1440p in 21:9. Maybe I have bad taste but I’m enjoying it a lot. Similar to Fallout 4 but with much better writing. Le capitalism in space. Takes itself pretty seriously.
So far I’ve been able to

agree to blow up a stolen ship for a corrupt official, lie to the pirates on board and pretend to be a pirate, get found out immediately when boarding. Then by luck I convinced them not to kill me with a difficult speech check, I agree to let them keep the ship and in exchange they give me an incriminating letter about the official. I then lie and tell the official that I blew it up and then report them to authorities.
Compared to Fallout 4 which consisted of “Go shoot these guys who are bad because they’re bad guys”, this is a breath of fresh air. The fact that you can talk to many enemies rather than kill on sight is very nice. The dialogue is revamped and speech checks are a series of luck-based dialogue choices that make it feel a lot less like “I think you should just give me everything for nothing in return”
Really this is all I’ve wanted in a Bethesda RPG. Compared to previous releases I’m comfortable saying that this is the most stable at launch so far. I’m a couple hours in and really haven’t seen many bugs beyond animation glitches.
If you like Bethesda RPGs I fail to see how you wouldn’t like this. Though the “$35 extra to play on labor day weekend” was scummy.
As a Morrowind lover who didn’t like Fallout 4…this feels a lot like Fallout 4. The universe seems dead, the loading screens and third person transitions make it feel small.
The lore is occasionally interesting so far but I actively hate all the factions while Morrowind even evil factions like the Morag Tong had fascinating justifications. The main quest is showing some interesting stuff but the side content Is. So. Bland.
My PC should run it fine on 1440p (6800xt and i7-12700), but I will still wait for some patches. Especially the black levels in this game are a bit weird.
