How about they make the game fun?

I am replaying Skyrim at the moment. When you start the game after being cut loose after Helgen, you have a quest that nudges you towards Whiterun. The typical path usually goes Helgen - > Riverwood - > Whiterun. Between any of these three steps, you can veer off the track and find some cool stuff to do. Just near Helgen, there’s a fortress near the Cyrodiil Border, Embershard Mine, random bandit encampments, and if you are brave enough at level 1, Bleak Falls Barrow. You can play all of this without ever having to pause the game.

Starfield has none of that. When you land on a new planet, all of the caves are the same. There’s no environmental storytelling, and in order to fast travel, you must stop the flow of the game.

I still have to find the time to complete this game one day.

Mostly Victoria 3, Warthunder, and League of Legends.

Just finished Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty over the Winter Break so a bit too soon for me to jump back into a strong narrative focused game. Just want to chill for a bit and play some multiplayer stuff with friends.
