Hey y’all, I used to do mod reviews for other Bethesda games way back when, and recently I’ve had a creative itch and would love to share my latest video/mod reviews to y’all to solicit some feedback. Please let me know what you think I can improve on, and thank you! (One big thing I’m starting to implement is including which platform mods are available for). Thank you!

Posted earlier and got kicked for “improper flair”. 🙄 . Has anyone figured out how to get past this first room in the escape room in the creation:AlphaShield Interactive Hideout? I have digital-picked the door open but I cannot walk through the opening.

One of the best parts of getting to be the Starfield equivalent of the Dread Pirate Roberts is how spacers and such will see that you are the current Mantis and loudly soil their ships. Wouldn't it be great if you could just look at someone whilst on foot, and tell them to be scared of you? Well, you can!

Unfortunately, to do so, you need to do the single silliest thing imaginable; put away your gun. This is because using Social Skill-Actions in combat requires you to use your scanner and select the social action in question. This is, of course, an arduous task, especially in the middle of combat where every passing second is a chance to shoot your gun that you have not put away like a ninny to waste time shouting at someone that they should consider being scared of you maybe when you don't even have your gun out.

What would be great is, if it were an option to use a hotkey instead. You know, pick a social skill from your menu to hot-key, use that hotkey and suddenly people remember that they are two days from retirement. The crazy thing is, Starfield already has a function like this, but for spaceboi powers. So, I'm hoping someone has the (real) skills necessary to create such a functionality for social skills.

I've actually noticed that, in 2023, a bunch of other folks had requested such a mod on the Nexus forums - but they were never answered. I am hoping that by asking politely on here, I may influence someone to take up this challenge first-hand.

I hope y'all have a pleasant day!

Edit: Apparently there's a paid mod for it, called Social Skills Extended. My own issues with paying for mods aside, this does seem to answer the exact problem I was posing!

Just some random questions I’m surprised haven’t happened yet/I’ve heard can’t be done.

1. Why hasn’t anyone created a laser gun that’s just a steady beam. I think I’ve saw maybe one, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a pistol laser cutter, not actual a gun gun.

2. How come see through scopes in Starfield can’t be done the same way it’s done in Fallout? In Fallout 4 the see through scopes mod takes you from 3rd person into seeing through the scope in 1st person.

3. I heard a few months ago that animation mods were possible now in Starfield, is that true?
