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.

Ah, it’s not even just that. There’s like a third as many companions as fallout and they’re all worse.

Yeah the design choices they made were just odd. Its cheesy, not in a good way. The NASA Punk style basically just is an excuse to make boring looking things and characters.

I'm just sad.

Aye, a feeling of vague sadness is what hit me too when I played it.

I remember stepping out into skyrim and being filled with excitement. You step onto new Atlantis and it's like "no way this their "biggest city ever"

There's more life and character in the tavern in whiterun than all of New Atlantis.
