I honestly can't understand how Starfield was so boring. I played it a bit waiting for the fun to start and it just never did. Such a weird game

First new IP in 25 years and this time they don't have decades' worth of other people's writing to build lore off of. Their failures of imagination are front and center now.

It’s because it’s unironically just Skyrim with spaceships, but it’s not even good because like @[email protected] said, they don’t have much material to go off of.

They also expect modders to fix everything and I imagine most of them are content with making stuff for fallout and elder scrolls instead.

hell it's worse because of all the mandatory loads. somebody made open cities skyrim but i doubt there's going to be a mod letting you manually fly between planets and even if that did exist it would be boring af instead of interesting.

This "they expect modders to fix everything" thing isn't even true because the vast majority of their sales are on consoles, where mods can't even do much.

That's what the Creators Club is for.

This game really makes you feel like you're paying for another re-release of Skyrim

fallout 4 was that for a lot of people.
