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.

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.
