Of course I found this in an Ecliptic base... Mercenaries passing the time. Needless to say, I saved the poor plushie.

Ancient coral formations§
Added on: 2023.12.29
It looks idyllic from here, with a small pond surrounded by ancient corals. It was anything but. The area teemed with hostile wildlife, and it's a small miracle they let me take the shot :)

Martian miners are hardcore§
Added on: 2023.12.05
I am still not entirely sure if this was a game bug, or if martian miners in Cydonia are so badass that they work in their underwear. Going down the stairs to the mining area, there was a whole gang of them in underwear going to work. Some of them were clothed, but most were in this simple attire.

I visited the moon. Between the obligatory giant leaps, I chanced upon this eminently photogenic crater. It makes me wish to really be there.

Sarah walked right into a cryogenic grenade, and I had to wait a bit for her to thaw again.
P.S. I like pirate spacesuits. They are so pretty!

Cosy Ranger Dinner§
Added on: 2023.11.19
On Akila, the Rangers have a nice little bar with this side room that I have not seen anyone else in (so far?). It's really cosy, and a perfect place to relax between jobs :)

Starfield's photo mode
Most of these photos have been taken with Starfield's Photo Mode. This new feature is a great addition to Bethesda games, and I hope it will get some more love in the future. I have been spoiled by Cyberpunk's Photo Mode, and I would love to see some of its features in Starfield:
- Open photo mode anytime, even during conversations.
- Change your character's expression.
- Adjust your character's position.
Playing around with Starfield's photo mode, I realized how powerful Cyberpunk's photo mode really is. Seeing that the current feature set is already quite extensive, I trust that Bethesda have plans to improve it further.
Graphics settings
The key graphics setting I recommend is to turn off or at least drastically reduce the film grain effect. I had it set to 1.0, and realized only later on that it spoils your photo mode shots.
The grain is much more visible in static shots than it is in game. If you want to do any kind of post-processing, turning it off is paramount. I have some night shots that are unrecoverable because of it - trying to adjust the scene lighting only makes the grain stand out more.
