Starfield will improve over time, but for the moment, players are annoyed by a problem that has still not been resolved since launch.
As we get into the hard part with the crazy video game releases of October 2023, some have not even completed behemoths like Baldur’s Gate 3 or even Starfield. Many people continue to explore the far reaches of Bethesda’s RPG galaxy, but their journey is not an easy one. One aspect of the title, linked to the economy, is very poorly balanced according to Reddit forumers, and creates great frustration among them. Explanations.
Some Starfield players recount their ordeal
Starfield is an immense and ambitious work, but which is at times parasitized by annoying problems. This is why several patches have already been released, and more will be released in the future. And in a future update, some would like Bethesda to look into reselling items to sellers. What exactly is the problem? The poverty of merchants. Unfortunately, they do not have enough money to buy all the players’ finds, and the latter then find themselves penalized. The cargo transportation capacity limit also doesn’t help in getting rid of collected things or making money.
“Having ultra-limited transport capacity, coupled with the fact that sellers are short of money, is a real nightmare”; “Why are all salespeople so broke?” »; “This was already a problem in Skyrim and Fallout, but it’s even more of a problem in Starfield. Here you come across many more valuable items that you cannot resell, because all the sellers are poorer than me”. Feedback posted on Reddit (via Gamesradar).
A solution ? Some Starfield players suggest looking back and applying certain formulas from Skyrim or Fallout. Any advice that will be followed? The future will tell us, but at the time of writing, nothing is concretely planned.
A bug that saves you money
The latest patch 1.7.33 introduced a glitch that was very beneficial to Starfield players. A nasty bug for earning money without having to worry too much. With what method? The duplication of ships at will and the resale of them to technicians. Here are the steps to follow to become a millionaire.
- Have a controller even on PC because the manipulation does not work with keyboard mouse
- Store two ships, one of which doesn’t cost much, or was even given to you free of charge.
- Travel to a planet with a technician like the New Atlantis spaceport
- Talk to the person concerned and modify your ship
- Take the worthless one, then press LB or RB + X simultaneously
- The duplication menu opens and you must remove an optional component or add an inexpensive part
- Exit the editor and save the vehicle
- After verification, the ship can be resold
And that’s how to get around Starfield’s economy a little.
