I have it running “mostly” stable on my i5, I had to use the 512k low res “Starfield Performance Texture Pack” (https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/510?tab=description) but still get the occasional crash but often hours of play before that.
Are you using an integrated gpu? My desktop gpu is only slightly more powerful than my steam deck. So at this point, I’m only gaming on the steam deck.
Skyrim is great because of the exploration. I’ve not played Star field because the system requirements are too high anyway.
Skyrim is great because of a robust modding scene. I believe it would’ve long faded into irrelevancy otherwise.
I did mods at one point, but I have played the vanilla campaign a few times. I think it holds up just as well without mods.
