Skyrim (modded) is my favorite game and I am hoping Starfield turns out to be something like a massive sci-fi RPG.
I still don’t get why Bethesda decided to let so much time pass since the last elder scrolls game.

Even if I wasn't so biased against Bethesda Softworks, I would ask this: what is there to be excited about? We know nothing about this game. What its genre is, what its mechanics will be, its art direction, its story, its setting, its...everything. All we have is that it's in outer space. Whoop-dee-freaking-doo. And yet they're so arrogant that they're providing a release date a year-and-a-half ahead of time (on 11/11 again), coasting entirely on their brand name as the guys who made Skyrim and Fallout 4. This is just "Bethesda is about to make you its bitch. Suck it down."
I can see your point. I love Skyrim and I think I’m getting overhyped by the idea of Skyrim in space.
Skyrim is one of those games where I'm more excited by the potential of the game -- what it could have been -- than by the game itself which is pretty shallow and broken.
I'm just surprised nobody is even attempting to compete with Skyrim and Elder Scrolls in the first-person sandbox RPG space. You'd think someone would want a piece of that market.
Yea with Skyrim there are a lot of quests or things that could’ve been deeper. Like why can’t you build your own town with all of that land. But modders really help. Forgotten City is amazing
It has been turned into its own game.

Cool! I’ll check it out.
I thought it was confirmed to be on the Gamebryo engine? That's the engine that they've been using for ~20 years now, but that they're still barely competent with.
There are also things that can be reasonably inferred, like micro-transactions that breaks mods every time Beth adds another half-assed re-texture. I'd also bet on it being a looter shooter, since that's the direction they went with Fallout 4 and 76.
I don't believe in Todd's lies.
Buy my game. -t. Not Todd
I recognize the username of the poster, so I’m sorry for repeating myself.
I have no faith this won’t be a pozzed space version of Fallout, but I’d love to be wrong.
The release date is late next year, and they haven't revealed or leaked any actual game play yet.
Right now, my expectations are that it takes all the worst elements of Elite Dangerous, No Man's Sky, Star Citizen, and X4.
Spaceships that handle like paper planes, auto aim lasers firing at bullet sponge enemies, long travel sequences filled with trash mob random encounters and RNG loot stashes to pad out the journey, copy-pasted station interiors and walking in stations for ''immersion'', and FPS gunplay that would have been dismissed as mediocre a decade ago.
And don't forget all the usual design-by-committee, hastily half-implemented features, that every game must have these days, like survival, crafting, base building, and endless radiant missions.
I enjoyed and logged a solid 300 hours in modded Fallout 4 (plis no bulli), and hell, even if they copy pasted that exact same standard of game play into a space setting and didn't even add in actual spaceship travel, I'd still enjoy it.
But the way things have gone the past 3~5 years, I won't hold my breath.
Have you played Kenshi? It is a bit of an autism simulator, and you have to overlook some glaring flaws -but it has become THE game I've played over the past few years. It is essentially a Zen Garden full of monstrous horrors.
Never even heard of it. I’ll check it out.
Take care, there is no tutorial, it looks like ass, and you are encouraged to mod it till it breaks. My current run is a community of prostitutes who had all their limbs removed fighting against Islam. It is heavy RP and you will need to "cheat" and make your own mods while resisting breaking the game too much in your favor. It is absolutely not for everyone. But here is a good rundown: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wXo24imR_54
Mass Effect (the wahmenstru-naut I assume is the player character puts a gun on a table) crossed with No Man's Sky: Now with even more bugs (Bethesda bugs, not pod-people bugs, although I wouldn't be surprised if it has that kind of bug as a consumable item)
Seriously, a certain user on here thinks there weren't as many women protagonists as he thought. Didn't watch enough. Bethesda's other own Twilight/Buffy OC fanfic game trailer starts with a ghetto magic purple hair princess, a goatshagger, the worthless slacker hwite boy, and the magical negro sniper complete with a hooded longcoat. The only other hwite dude is a baddie in a ski mask trying to blast purple hair with a pump shotgun. Oh and the lesbian flying vampire who is white.
Yeah. Then there's the Diversity zoom call going on right now by the company who brings you GTA, one of the most politically incorrect franchises ever.
Power to the players.
