Everything is fast travel and loading screens. You’re right. This has been the complaint about every Bethesda game since day 1. I remember loading screens in Daggerfall. Yes, games with different focus and different engines have mastered seamless landing and takeoff. Yes, I’m sure Bethesda could have added that, or faked it. But they made clear a year ago we’d be seeing load screens for those things, so nobody should’ve expected otherwise.

Sorry, I'm not talking load screens, as, well, that's a thing you can't avoid and it's silly to want that, what I mean is when you dock a ship, when you land a ship, when you furniture or something, those animations, like fallout 4, there's mods that skip these animations, they're cool like once or twice but it's silly that they happen all the time, just take us to a load screen as soon as we press the button :(

Ahh. But don't those animations mask loading processing so you see fewer "spinning wheel" screens? I remember early Skyrim having minute long waits when you entered a door

I'm not sure, but I feel like they don't? I'm more happy with just a load screen than one animation followed by a load screen

[–] abraxas@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I could swear I've definitely seen transitions happen with no loading screen, just the transition. I am pretty certain the transition is just the start of the loading-screen process.

I'll take your word for it! As I haven't played the game, I've only seen mods and some random streams of it
