I couldn’t stay interested for 12 hours. I wanted to like this game. I gave it an honest chance. Just didn’t like it.

Edit: spelling

Apparently it gets good after 12 hours. Yes, that’s what people are seriously saying.

I’m not saying it should take 12 hours for a game to get good, but the first 12 hours for me were easily the worst 12. That and power hunting, I should have stopped after one. It was the single worst part of the game. I found a lot of the big side quests to be a lot of fun and felt like their own game in a good way for me. The main quest was the best I’ve played in a Bethesda game. In 2023, Fallout 4 and Skyrim are better experiences than Starfield in my opinion. I feel like Bethesda took what I love about the Bethesda RPGs put it in a meat grinder with added fillers to produce a product that taste reminiscent of their previous games, but the quality has been diluted to make more of it.
