Just getting started now and this shyt is ridiculous. Not even gonna rush it but it looks like fun.
My character almost looks like a darker version of Barrett .
So brehs....any tips on things to do, what to look out for etc? Indoor is way better first person but outdoors looks better in 3rd. This lock picking shyt is....interesting. Even the YT videos can barely explain it right.
Sarah already seems like a bizznatch but Noel is fine as fukk. Reminds me of Lisa Arrindell Anderson (sp?)
I'm pretty sure one of the lockpicking perks will make it so it'll highlight the different pieces/options that will actually fit which makes them much easier to get through. The more difficult ones still take time to solve, but it narrows down your potential options significantly
Navigating the star map and understanding the fast travel and scanner are probably the biggest differences from your typical Bethesda game. Aside from that, if you're familiar with the formula, you'll know the drill in a lot of scenarios. There's no local map for the cities but you can open the scanner and fast travel to different waypoints by looking at their icons, which is particularly handy in New Atlantis. That being said, I'd definitely explore all these cities on foot and try to learn their layouts because there's all kinds of vendors and NPCs sprinkled throughout all the different hub cities.
Stealing ships is probably gonna be the best way to get a better one early on. Don't worry about doing all the extra customization and shyt until you got a lil money saved and understand the ship combat and the different stats for them. You'll kinda know when you're ready to take that on, but if you're the creative type, you'll likely spend a huge chunk of time in the ship builder alone.
Overall tho there's so much shyt to do in this game you can almost overwhelm yourself. Ultimately the best way to enjoy this game is to take it at your own pace and do the things that YOU feel most compelled to do and role play your character as intended
