    but any actual social/cultural changes of actual significance are unfathomable or even scary

    This is definitely a giant problem in Starfield, but I don’t think it’s why the clubs are so lame. Cause the problem isn’t just that it isn’t a cool club for a magic space future, it isn’t even a cool club for now. If I walked into that club tonight I would be like “this place is lame and dead.”

    For one, it’s the most incredibly sex-less club I’ve ever seen in my life. If you’re gonna have dancers on a stage in your space bar can you try to make it at least slightly sexy?

    Mass Effect 1 had a better nightclub and it’s not even very good and that game came out like 15 years ago.

      I'm not even sure if making the Starfield club superficially hornier would actually help that much if nothing else was changed about it, not at this point, considering how bleak and bland the setting is to the point of being its own meme.

      Exactly. This is supposed to be a club in the grittiest, most drug addled city in the known universe and they offer dancers in funny neon hats? Wtf
