Like wtf has anyone on the team gone to a club? Hell, have any of them been outside at night?

Also, the bubble suits. Did HR design them?

    It’s especially hilarious how unproblematic aurora is.

      I wish games that had “psychedelic” drugs as a mechanic would actually show hallucinations and play random noises if your character is under the influence.

      Didn’t Haze do something like this? Like you’d see monsters everywhere and children laughing or something?

      Because isn’t aurora supposed to be like Super Acid?

    This has been (probably unreasonably) my biggest complaint with Starfield since I went into the club. There are gameplay and story issues that realistically should be bigger problems for me, but for some reason I’m actually offended by the Astral Lounge. I don’t expect nudity or even topless dancers, even though thematically it seems appropriate there, but what the fuck were they thinking? The game is rated M for some reason anyway, so why are we being so prudish? Baldur’s Gate 3 gets away with sexually aggressive lizard-person pussy in your face and that seems to be fine with most people, even as a modern mainstream AAA game. Why can we not have a simple space bikini/speedo when the setting calls for it instead of whatever that fucking monstrosity of an outfit is? If you’re not comfortable doing that, maybe don’t put a “club” with “exotic dancers” in your game at all, especially if the story describes that club (and entire city) as particularly libertine and lawless.

      In the future, all sexes, genders and orientations will attend a single club to watch leotard-clad dad bods dance like 40 year old dudes at a Keith Urban concert.

    I thought it was hilarious to be honest. The game spent so long telling me about how anything goes in Neon, and how it’s such a crazy place and people can do anything like some party planet. And astral lounge to be the Pinacle of that party planet full of possible debauchery.

    I legit took my time before going there for an interesting crazy reveal.

    And it’s just some random place with neon signs and a club that is less risque then walking down the street.

    !I couldn’t believe Todd got me again!<
