Good: It’s a Bethesda game.
Bad: It’s a Bethesda game.
It’s been a fun experience so far, and I really want to like this game, so that means we need to be honest with its flaws.
Frankly, Bethesda has still managed to bring back their already beaten-to-the-dead mummified-corpse of a horse and beat it again like a carnival drum surrounded by cheering buddies who all had too much caipirinhas during their trip. No, I’m not talking about Todd’s vacation. It’s the gamebryo engine.
Everything else follows smoothly from that point. The expected bethesda glitches, the expected community patches, the expected list of QOL mods even if you want to play vanilla, and so on. Worrying as many TES fans are expecting TES6 after Starfield.
And if you are aware how Fallout 76 has fared in comparison to Fallout 3/4/NV… imagine what happens if any Bethesda or Microsoft executive decided to pull a similar stunt with Starfield. “Less risk of angering the audiences because it’s a new IP” they’ll justify in their internal memos.
