They’re still trying to make Starfield a thing

      Maybe they’ll get there eventually.

      Unless they rework half the game’s mechanics from the ground up, I doubt it.

          I think they mean more about reworking core mechanics of the game such as the planet generation and the fact that space flight is basically pointless outside of ship combat. I don’t foresee them being able to allow ships to fly down to planet surfaces in Creation Engine.

          You’re not wrong, but I feel that level of support for one of their releases would be a bit out of character for Bethesda (Without the long-term monetization present in games like Fallout 76). Especially so with the trend of Bethesda’s comments indicating that the consumers are the ones who are wrong for not liking some of the more problematic game design decisions.

          cyberpunk was buggy but fundamentally sound. starfield is flawed in its core, no amount of bug fixing or system tweaking is going to fix it. they’d have to cut out space and planets entirely.

    Their latest pay to play for an existing quest which was removed from the game is proving without doubt how Bethesda is not learning or listening.

    Ignore the hype, the history and recent events of this company is proving that the senior executive must be fired before it can succeed.

    I saw this pop up in steam, tbh i gave up on starfield after playing through it once.

    Took about 70 hours to get bored and annoyed with seeing more loading screens than gameplay.

        I was very tickled having a modern but familiar “stealth archer” build in the shape of a stealth sniper.

        I just expected more from the game in the long run.

        I guess it makes sense to give more rope to Skyrim’s creators, but…it seems more like those creatives have long since moved on.

          Idk maybe it’s just me but I feel like people give Bethesda a little too much unwarranted goodwill, and I don’t get why.

      They are masters of hype, not sure if they’ll be able to actually deliver because Starfield wasn’t their best work.
