New "Starfield" Patch Prevents Best Early-Game Abuse, Prevents Sam Coe from Making Jokes About Dead Bodies to His Daughter
[For years and years, Bethesda's space sim was the most hotly anticipated game in development for anyone at any studio, and once it launched, you couldn't help but encounter some kind of heated debate around the corner (some of which were even ours). But now, it feels like everyone accepts "Starfield" for what it is: a mostly good, low-key open-world thing. Elite: Dangerous with Dialogue Boxes

Honestly, it's not a bad idea to build on what Bethesda continues to do. Today, the studio dropped Starfield's 1.10.30 update to the Steam beta ahead of its impending full release, adding a new pose in photo mode and allowing players to undo digipicking without losing their picks.

"Fixed an issue where Sam Coe would tell Cora that she could try her joke on a dead character.

It's a cruel burn that a father inflicts on his precocious daughter, and also probably funnier than whatever Cora's joke actually is (I confess, I was so immersed in the game I don't remember). I wish Bethesda had kept it, but I think telling a child to "go pish pish pish on a corpse" undermines Sam's fatherly qualities.

Fixes and tweaks are numerous, and the full patch notes for "Starfield" can be found here, but there is one other small update worth noting. Bethesda has fixed one of the game's easiest and best early exploits. It is no longer possible to steal the best suit early in the game through a gap one millimeter thick in the door.

"We've fixed the gap that allows access to the spacesuits without unlocking the spacesuit display case," Bethesda says matter-of-factly, as if they haven't just dealt a world-historic injustice to the millions of players who have loved and trusted them. Before the patch, I could have taken the Mark I spacesuit from Constellation Underground by putting myself in just the right position (I could have done it with any other spacesuit, but this was the only one I could do). It wasn't the best spacesuit in the game or anything, but it was a nice little boost early in the game. Unfortunately, the gold leaves nothing to be desired.
