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.

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.
