      If you’re willing to handle the typical Bethesda jank that every Creation engine game has, it’s a lot of fun. The space travel aspect is disappointing, but there’s so much to do and see on the planets themselves that it’s almost overwhelming. This is by-far their biggest game yet—definitely the largest playable area I’ve ever seen in a game—and I’m only including the handmade areas, not any of the procedurally-generated stuff. There are a lot of good mods available too, despite the game not even being out for a week.

      If you likeFallout and/or Elder Scrolls, you’ll probably enjoy Starfield. Just don’t pay full price for it. Either wait for GOTY edition, or just pirate it.

      Don’t listen to the complainers. While there is an occasional bug typical for Bethesda games here and there, the biggest problem complainers have with the game is that they expected a different game, not that Starfield is actually bad. Because it isn’t. Its a great game.

        I was actually being serious, it does make me want to play.

        Can I really fill my ship with smuggled plants? Does shooting backpacks launch people into the air? Looks like Skyrim in space and that sounds pretty fun!

          Yes, you can fill your ship with a lot of various items.

          Yes, backpack shots have a chance to launch NPCs into the air.

          It is similar to “Skyrim in space,” but IMO the game is far better than just “Skyrim in space.”

        If you’re talking about my comment in this thread, I wasn’t really complaining. Just pointing out the upsides and downsides.
