    I’m a huge Bethesda fan and I absolutely love everything bethesda.

    I can unfortunately say that many people will not be impressed with this showing. Outside of a few key characters, most NPCs are forgettable. Most quest designs are basic, and some are outright stupid - like some stranger just giving you the keys to unlock everything.

    Skyrim has so much storytelling and “oh wow” moments.

    You might find 5-6 of them in the 100+ hours you play. Not to say that won’t change in the future.

      Skyrim also had immediate recognition, spun off memes, and people were riffing on it from day 1.

      Who is Starfield’s best girl? Everybody basically crushed on Aella and Lydia.

      What’s the most gimmicky saying? Arrow to the knee, you’re finally awake, etc

      Starfield just has no life, no joie de vivre - wide as a lake but shallow as a puddle.
