  • Not a sweet spot.

    Morrowind was amazing because it is a hand built world. Oblivion had the same core error as Starfield: an overreliance on procedural generation.

    For Skyrim they did it right. Just the right amount of procedural generation with enough manual work that things worked out.

    You can’t overlook the modding scene either. Oblivion had a great mod community with a lot of people getting into it and cutting their teeth there. So when Skyrim came out they were experts and made a lot of amazing mods, particularly framework mods.

    But almost all of them are done and gone or corrupted into paid mods(e.g. Elianora, Kinggath(FO4)). So Starfield will never get a good modding scene because the core modding community doesn’t exist now.








  • In my experience of using the traffic inspection tool fiddler: for https sites you have to have it add its own self signed cert to be able to see traffic.

    Firefox, out of the box, detects it immediately and warns you of a security issue, not letting you do anything.

    Chrome, and chromium based browsers,
    don’t even notice it and happily let you do what needs to be done.

    I’ve had the experience of a few sites not working recently in Firefox, one of them explicitly stated an ad server was blocked because of xss settings and refused to load. Chrome didn’t care.
