My favorite Bethesda game quirk is how the world keeps trying to kill and maim everyone while they have conversations.

    I’m having some fun playing it, but mostly in customizing my ship and setting up automated production via the outpost system.

    The RPG elements feel uninspired and the writing pales in comparison to, say, Baldur’s Gate 3, but I feel Larian set a new standard of greatness with their work on the characters and writing there. Starfield feels flat by comparison.

      Bethesda didn’t evolve over the past 10 years. They just added some ambient occlusion and increased the resolution of their textures. The game engine was OK when when Skyrim came out, but it’s really kind of embarrassing that the exact same issues still remain in 2023.
