     Now level 80 in #Starfield, about to hit 200 hours. Got 5 Xbox achievements left to get.

     I am going to aim for level 100 and every achievement before mods and survival mode launch.

     I forgot one thing, after a month I finally finished the first quest I started in the game - finding a home for a few hundred space travellers on a planet. I forgot I had agreed to basically enslave them to a corporation, dropping them off was awkward. Whoops.

     Took my #Starfield wife to see the Opportunity rover on Mars, surveyed a planet for Constellation (took me 3 hours as I forgot fish existed at the coasts), then showed her my outpost.

     Got married in #Starfield to a religious lady who took me to a moon in the middle of nowhere and got me to dig up the skull of her childhood pet she had murdered, and she gave it to me as a weapon.

     Even in video games, I make terrible choices. (I said thanks and that I would treasure it... I quietly put it down the toilet in my captain's quarters).

     Finished the #Starfield main quest. Didn’t take the obvious option.

     Level 70 with 1.7 million credits in the bank, 5 houses, 10 ships, 20 staff, 6 outposts. Done 369 (nice) quests so far. Still have Ryujin Industries faction to do. Have 41 of 50 achievements unlocked.

     Only had one crash the entire time. Still lots to do to get the remaining achievements.

     145 hours into #Starfield. I've gone to a religious centre and they've cured me of being an introvert trait so I can adventure with companions now - Andreja is my new BFF. Paid off my mortgage so now I only have the Spaced trait left to resolve (more health on the ground than in space as I never acclimatised).

     Quite far into the main quest now, my crew are gradually becoming Constellation and my ship friends are now running farming and mining outposts I've built instead.

     That's my ship below

     Btw I agree with many of the criticisms of #Starfield in the reviews I’ve read.

     My take: while Skyrim is a power fantasy - before you even leave the tutorial area you’re taught magic etc - Starfield is a pleb simulator.

     It dunks you on a planet that looks like a car park as a miner, and depending on the background you picked you probably can’t even sneak or lockpick. You’re given crappy weapons and set free with essentially no skills.

     I’ve really enjoyed it.. but it is a slow burn.

     120 hours into #Starfield. I joined the pirate faction and completed the quest line - now pirate king.

     Have established several outposts and now a multi-millionaire mining facility owner. Also run an underground Aurora drug production operation and store the contraband in the outposts.

     Have 8 crew on ship and 15 staff at outposts. All of the crew are named characters I picked up in side quests. Still haven't started the main quest.

     96 hours into #Starfield. I return to the real world tomorrow, so I finished off my holiday on one random planet for four hours - built two outposts, saw jungles, forests, swamps, deserts, beaches and ice caps.

     Found a house on a private island. Helped some outposts deal with wildlife woes, dealt with multiple pirate landings and then retired to my ship. Saw some alien crickets that spit fire, and giant moths that both walk and fly around, swarm together - and shoot lasers from their eyes.

     92 hours in to #Starfield. Started and finished the Vanguard faction today, now a UC citizen and own this apartment in New Atlantis.

     Straight after taking this photo I jumped off the balcony and jet packed onto the building below... and predictably broke my ankle.

     Only the Crimson Fleet and Ryujin Industries faction questlines left, then the main quest.

     Tomorrow I plan to finally go to New Atlantis properly and join the Vanguard and get my United Colonies citizenship. Left myself sat outside MAST.

     I'm level 51 and did over 250 quests before touching the factions as I am insane. Some of the Xbox achievements I've unlocked, only 0.0004% of players have. Basically I'm an idiot. #Starfield

     80 hours into #Starfield. Built my first two outposts today and connected them together with cargo shipping links, and hired staff for them. Now have 10 staff on payroll for GossiEmpire :D

     Today's WTF moment was a bounty hunting job where the target died as they got mauled to death by roaming aliens... watched the whole thing unfold using the scope on a sniper rifle. Still got paid.

     71 hours into #Starfield. I am now level 45, and have unlocked ability to pilot all ship classes and all ship building. My ship is a massive cargo hauler. Haven't touched crafting, base building, faction quests or main quest yet. I've done around 150 side quests and I unlocked the achievement for landing on 100 planets today.

     300k in the bank and own 3 properties. Even paid off the mortgage on my mansion.

     Basically I'm more successful in a video game after 6 days than real life.

     Now 40 hours into #Starfield on day 4. I've rented a hotel room for a week in Neon city (a 'drug rig' on an ocean planet), my goal is to earn 250k to purchase the penthouse here.

     I've spent about 10 hours doing side quests and exploration here today, have also started stealing everything I can and selling it at the Trade Authority (aka the Thieves Guild). Have also developed a drug addiction, to add to my 13 diseases. Most importantly, got a sweet poncho.

     Today's WTF moment comes from... me. I tried robbing a ship that landed while I was somewhere. I asked Vasco, my robot, to wait in the hull entrance while I picked the lock. Anyway, it started to take off so I dashed out the airlock.. and realised Vasco was still stood in the hanger.

     Screenshot as Vasco disappeared into the abyss, haven't found him yet.

     32 hours into #Starfield now. I've seen some shit... was in The Hunger Games, went to a planet with just mudcrabs. Made 258k credits today, new record - can't pay off the Neon city bounty as they don't allow payments via remote terminals, which means I have to go back and face the music. (And yes, I've still done 0 main quest or faction quests).

     My ship has had some... upgrades.

     My character, Emily, sounds like an old woman as she's constantly coughing... I have about 8 diseases currently.

     The reason I'm dressed like a CW superhero in the final picture is because I did a quest about a rich person who had a consume, bat cave and who fought crime.. They no longer have their equipment or ship, wooops.

     3 achievements to go! Finished Ryujin Industries quest line. My heart rate got to 120 during the final quest.

     Made the right decision waiting until so late in the game to do that questline as I was maxed on things like stealth, persuasion, pickpocketing, hacking etc.. plus had equipment with silencers etc. #Starfield

     After 467 quests and 144 activities, over 200 hours, I’ve only had one quest bug and one crash to desktop. They did a really good QA job.

     The bugged quest is in Neon city, where I have to meet a gang member in a bar but the door upstairs is locked. It’s because I left the bar while an NPC was unlocking the door.. and they didn’t factor in a player doing that. Oops.

     Now 250 hours into Starfield, level 122. Playing in survival mode, 45% XP boost in exchange for the game being tougher in theory - although in practice, since enemies are no longer bullet sponges I'm finding combat easier.

     Spent the last two days pirating ships, stealing them, selling their goods, raiding settlements and selling contraband. 2.6 million credits in that time. Not long until I'm the Hero of Canton!

     When I first started the game at midnight on September 1st, the first thing I did when arriving at Kreet is ignore the quest marker and went roaming.

     Back then I found a Varuun zealot base, level 14, and almost got one shot by an enemy. I ran away. Returned just now and cleared it out, without being seen, using stealth. One shotted everybody with sniper rifle 🤣 #starfield

     Shattered Space is great so far, two hours in. Really good production values, new music, new factions, new creatures, new lore etc.

     All takes place in one location on a planet it appears, which is still huge and has roads carved out, patrols etc - it feels very old school Bethesda -- the expansion is clearly a response to the criticism about procedural content.

     Will need a lot more time to form a real verdict but so far it's beyond a DLC expectation for me.

     Also, space goats.
