Ya, the amount of loading is just wild. Completely kills all immersion for me. Especially coming from cyberpunk where there was virtually no loading.

The thing that killed it for me is that everything takes way too long to get to. The beauty of Skyrim was that you could go 30 seconds in any direction and would've stumbled upon a new thing to do. Starfield feels like they didn't realize that's what people liked.

The advantages of a small but dense world building. Like Bethesda didn't listen what people complained about for a very long time.

Bethesda: If we ignore the problem for long enough a Modder will fix it for us.
