anybody else notice how the photos youve taken throughout your journey appear as loading screens?

I just think it’s a neat little addition that gives you that, “ahhhhhhhhh, I remember that!” feeling.

This is one of the first games I’ve taken time to stop and take time to use the photo mode because of this feature

i believe fallout 76 also does this

Cool, I really need to take some pictures now. Most of the planets I visited look like barren wasteland though… maybe I can find some interesting sunrises at least.

Yeah, the rocky planets and moons are mostly just for the horizons. But there are some really nice ones.

Any gas giant with rings, for example. They always look nice imo.

Once I noticed that I started using it to make nice, personalized loading screens. It’s also a bit of a cheat tool since it allows you to stop time and look around with free camera. Very useful for the Ryujin Industry stealth quest

You can also use it to scout planets! Just raise the camera to its limit and look around the space. It’s such an awesome feature.

I haven’t played starfield (here from all), is stealth not as broken as other bethsoft games? Or is it just an extra tool you can get on top of op stealth

Zahille7@lemmy.world on 11 Oct 2023 04:40 collapse

This time around, stealth is “locked” behind the Stealth skill. You can still sneak around without it, but it’s basically like having your sneak at 1 in Elder Scrolls. People will notice you immediately, and you won’t have a “hidden/detected” indicator unless you invest in the skill at all.

I have a sneaking suspicion that other players photos are appearing as loading screens as well. Some of them just look a bit more like gameplay than offical.

Not sure if this in confirmed or not, I’ve just been thinking about it for a while.

That’s cool, it’s a shame that on Linux taking photos in photo mode doesn’t work, nothing gets saved to the gallery.

It got fixed in the latest build of proton experimental

Oh brilliant, thanks.

Is this pc only? I heard it a few times but don’t see the same on Xbox series s

Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 07 Oct 2023 20:15 collapse

It’s all showing up on my Series X

I took a photo of a guy in Akila City who looks like CJ (the San Andreas CJ, not the New Atlantis CJ). Now I sometimes see him as a load screen.
