Cool, hopefully it gets better over time and Bethesda takes the criticism to heart on whatever project they make next.

Starfield is a fun enough game but it could have been a lot better and a lot less tedious to navigate both in menus and in space.

Unlikely. Bethesda has carved out a slot for itself as one of the most popular and profitable devs. Starfield sold extremely well, even though the reviews and hype have seemingly crashed down back to earth now. My point being they can get away with mediocrity, unfortunately

Starfield is brilliant though.

Is it really though?

It's essentially fallout/skyrim in space. but.. also with 80% of the game being repetitive and beyond boring.

My worry going into it was it was going to be TOO big.

and after spending around 50 hours with it i was 100000% right.

What good is 1000 planets. if only like 20 of them are actually interesting?

It's still a pretty easy 100 hours of mostly unique content. But sure, doing 2000 hours is gonna get repetive
