This level of support would have been amazing for Skyrim. Starfield seems to be missing some fundamental BGS magic that I don’t know if they’re going to be able to fix at this stage but I am excited to see what they can do

I think the magic is missing because they let procedural generation do all the work. There's no magic because humans didn't create most of the worlds.

I mean, did they? every planet had the same exact handful of bases and outposts.... honestly it just feels like laziness. Like they thought they could get away with just a bunch of empty planets and the community would be ok with it.

This. They essentially had two options: smaller world with hand crafted content or near infinite world with procedural content. However they chose worst of the both choices and made a third option: large world with some handcrafted content. There should have been MORE procedural content instead copy pasting the handcrafted stuff everywhere.

That's what the procedural generation did. It copy and pastes things in different places.
