They could have a “redemption” a la Cyberpunk next year with a DLC

I honestly don't think so. Cyberpunk got it's redemption because the base game was really really good. But it was horrendously buggy, bordering on unplayable for many. Starfield is a game that in its very core is mediocre. But it's not very buggy. The whole game design would need to be redone for it to have a redemption.

That's my thought. CyberPunk launched in an unacceptable state, the foundations were solid (though I do think there's a lot holding the game back from being brilliant) but with Starfield, the issues are fundamental to the game.

You couldn't fix it without utterly changing the game at it's base level.

I don’t think they think the game is bad enough for that. Projekt came out and admitted it wasn’t good enough, has Bethesda done this?

Personally I just want meaningful space travel and small fighter ships.

And the NPC’s to actually feel alive. It’s a AAA title in 2023, no NPC should be comfortable with me just shooting my gun in a public strip

Once the guards didn't react to my weapon being out , a basic response in Skyrim, I knew something was just missing from this game.

For them to have that type of redemption they would have need to launch one of the most broken games of all time, and then re-release it 3 years later and people forget how awful the release was 😊

Come now, Cyberpunk was perfect on release and it’s even more brilliant and absolutely the perfect now…

Cyberpunk still had the same amazing story and emotion it has now, it just was buggy or even unplayable for some people at launch. Starfields flaws aren’t just bugs, they include story and writing which will 100% not change.
