That's my sense too. Starfield is clearly the worst of the Bethesda RPGs. But it's the first Bethesda RPG in 8 years, and nothing else scratches that itch. I loved it. Hopefully DLCs clean up the Outpost-building subgame, which is a mess.

The thing that was a huge let down was the fact that 95% of planets were just barren and procedural generated with the same outposts and the same layouts. It provided no incentive to explore, because there simply wasn't anything unique out there.

Yeah I love it.

My starfield experience has been great. The metagame with newgame+ doesnt interest me at all however.

It seems like crafting has gone downhill in terms of UX since Fallout4, but that would be easy for them to fix.

The fact that you can't scrap items like you could in Fallout 4 makes no sense to me. It just makes so many items useless.
