Veteran Starfield developer surprised by sheer number of loading screens added late in development – “it could have existed without those” (www.videogamer.com)

They should have added a computer on your ship for quests/turn-ins. Loading screens suck but making you go through eight of them in a row is inexcusable.

As good as New Vegas is, it had the same problem.

The most popular mod I ever put up on the Nexus was one that added fast travel points in New Vegas to get around needing to load multiple times to get to the actual destinations players will be visiting often.

Like, in the vanilla game the FT point in New Vegas itself was outside of Freeside. So you load to travel, load into Freeside, then have to load into the strip and finally load into one of the buildings. There are several other locations that do it, too. Just absolute insanity.

I think a big part of NV's fast travel points was because they didn't want you slipping by factions main security points if you were infamous with them.

Just remove the pertinent ones if that happens.

Strange I never encountered more then four in a row (and those numbers are rare for me) how can someone get to eight? This is a honest question, how?
