The new Starfield maps are great, but these cities are small
, Bethesda’s big space RPG released last yr, is getting a giant new update later this month. One of crucial added features is 3D surface and city maps, something the sport has needed since launch. But these new maps also show that the biggest cities are actually quite small.
1 May Bethesda has revealed patch notes for its next major update. And although the new patch has not been fully released yet, players who’ve the sport on Steam can go for an earlier, its beta version and see all of the new changes Bethesda has planned, including additional difficulty settings, UI tweaks, and fancy new 3D maps of planets and cities. If you remember, throughout the premiere the maps were heavily criticized for being unhelpful and difficult to make use of. In this new update, surface maps look much nicer and are more useful for navigation. However, it also shows that almost all cities in Poland are really small. Like… strangely small.
Let’s have a look at The city of Akilia first, a frontier town positioned on an abandoned planet.
I didn’t expect this city to be huge, but it looks so tiny once I see it on the new 3D map within the Reddit post. I often got lost walking around it, which made it appear bigger, but once I zoomed out on the camera, it turned out to be actually quite small and condensed.
The next city I would like to indicate is New Atlantis, which is one in every of the primary major cities you are prone to visit and is the de facto capital of the vast, galaxy-spanning United Colonies.
However, New Atlantis is more like a big shopping center with a medium-sized car parking zone. When I played, I had a sense that New Atlantis was small – it felt like I used to be running through an outside mall – but seeing it on a new 3D map only confirmed that.
Perhaps the saddest and smallest city I noticed on the new 3D map screen is the town of Neon, a seedy city built on platforms above an alien ocean.
While playing, Neon looked more like several buildings connected by one large street than an actual city. However, I didn’t expect Neon to look so tiny on the new 3D surface maps. So tiny. So cute.
Of course, these exterior views of the sport’s major cities don’t tell the entire story. If you go inside buildings or underground, one can find areas not visible in these overhead views.
These places also received new 3D maps, but they are not as pretty and look more like an early mock-up of a video game map that shall be accomplished later. Maybe it can occur in the following big one update in a couple of months?

Fallout 4 Players Using Mods, Next-Gen Update Removal Guides
New update for intended to enhance the sport, for a lot of players it resulted in quite the alternative. As a result, many PC users turn to Steam guides and download mods en masse to roll back the annoying “next-gen” update, making these extremely popular guides and mods.
April 25 Bethesda update — nearly a decade after launch — and added recent content, fixed some bugs, improved performance in problematic areas, and added a 60fps option on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Sounds great, right? Evil. While Bethesda could have had good intentions with this (delayed) “next-gen” update, the actual rollout of this recent patch was terrible nightmare. It broke most modsdelayed the expansion of the huge fan, removed the likelihood change settings on Steam Deck, and introduced recent bugs on consoles. But PC gamers fight back using – what else? – Steam mods and guides that help players roll back or skip this messy update.
(*4*)As he noticedtwo of hottest mods on Nexus Mods are directly related to the rollback of the brand new game update from April 25. “It’s Bilago”STEAM – Skip Next Gen” mod that permits players who have not downloaded the update to essentially trick Steam into pondering it has already been updated. As of April 25, this mod has been downloaded over 23,000 times.
There can be “Zerratar”Fallout 4 downgrade” which, as you would possibly guess from the name, allows Steam players to “downgrade” to a previous patch before the controversial “next-gen” update. Thanks to this, players can use all their beloved mods again. As of April 27, the downgrade program has been downloaded greater than 35,000 times.
In the meantime, I also noticed quite a few (and popular) Steam guides in the neighborhood section, which focuses entirely on how you can undo an update and/or block it from occurring. Some of them are written clearly and supply a number of assist in restoring updates. Others point to downloadable mods and ways to stop Steam from updating the sport. Or not less than one is only a joke about how much the person hates Todd Howard and Bethesda.
All in all, it’s clear that the rollout of the next-gen update has been disastrous, something fans are actively fighting against. And while most fan-made mods and tools will eventually be updated to work with Bethesda’s big update, I hope the developer has learned from this whole situation. If you make games that support mods and that is the predominant reason your games have been selling well for years, it’s best to probably take a moment to provide those modders a probability to update their work before you flip the large update switch and break every little thing.
