Best place to buy the game from?

[Pellape]

We do know and remember what problems the autoupdate did cause Skyrim and also Oblivion at some points...

 

So where is the safest place to buy the game from, well Starfield that is? :D Does all sites have autoupdating? I do want to avoid autoupdating in case it screw up some good mods, like it did when Skyrim passed version 6.x if I recall the version number right. I do use 5.8x something like that - I think.... ?? ;) I refuse to use any newer Skyrim Version :D

 

If there a Blender exporter created yet? I want to make:

• the mandalorian Spaceship... ;)
• A customized moon base fpor mining operations.
• Loads of stuff and my old Dvemer Coffee machine...

It depends on what you want.

I purchased mine through the Microsoft Store so that I could be cheap and pay only once for the game on PC and potentially XBOX in the future (if I decide to get an X/S). It's the best value for your money if you want it on both PC and console platforms. It's basically the permanent buy compared to 'renting' it through GamePass.

Most people on PC bought it through Steam, however, and that's what most of the mods being made are geared for, as apparently there are just enough subtle differences between Game Pass/Microsoft Store versions and Steam that anything optimized for the Steam version (such as Starfield Script Extender) will not work with the Game Pass or Microsoft Store versions.

So, do you want versatility of both PC and XBOX for one price, or do you want a wider access to mods while being limited to only PC?
