People keep saying the planets are going to be empty, but maybe Bethesda has come up with a brilliant algorithm to procedurally generate skeleton-based environmental storytelling as well??

Anyway, I fully expect this to be a kinda mediocre game that I somehow spend 300 hours playing and mostly enjoying, like every other Bethesda game.

If I can't craft a potion that lets me craft a potion that lets me craft a potion that lets me craft a potion that lets me circumnavigate an entire planet in a single jump it's not a real Bethesda game.

There was early access to Mass Effect: Andromeda for Origin subscribers, which I'm pretty sure ended up costing them a ton of sales and probably scared a lot of other companies off from doing that kind of thing. All the memes about the bad animation and all were going around days before it went on general sale.

After finishing the game I can say that my prediction was correct:

It is very extremely a Bethesda RPG, with all that entails. I think this one has a better main story than they usually tend to have, though.

I'm sorry but their skeleton dioramas in the last few games loving owned

In starfield there's a crashed ship on a planet with no atmosphere and a suitless skeleton on a cot

There's just no imagination or whimsy in starfield

In Starfield you can find a derelict ship where all the inhabitants are dead, with logs next to a skeleton sitting at a computer where the guy's saying he'll get around to fixing the life support system after just one more turn.

I thought that was decent enough, though it's also about the only non-quest-related thing like that I can remember from the game.
