Fans Might Have Been Playing Starfield Incorrectly!

Starfield might just be the most successful game of 2023 yet. Almost everyone appears to be enjoying this newly released open-world sci-fi action RPG. And almost everyone seems to be loving this title.

But there are a few people who do not care much for this game. They have found a bunch of issues in Starfield. And those issues are not even technical, like visuals and glitches, but with gameplay. However, it appears that people who are not satisfied with Starfield seem to have the wrong expectations of it.

Starfield is not Skyrim or Fallout 4

When Todd Howard showcased Starfield to numerous fans watching that showcase online, he compared it to Skyrim. We talked about it in length and how he did not mean that gameplay-wise, but in terms of evolution. He compared Starfield’s achievements in technology with the technical leap that was Skyrim.

But many gamers took it in some other direction; they expected Starfield to be just like Skyrim in space. This game is, in fact, an RPG set in space. Space that’s spread wide in pretty much all directions. There are more than a thousand planets to explore, numerous quests to complete, and outposts to build.

When one plays a game like Skyrim or even Fallout 4, they just step out and keep walking, and they keep on finding stuff, both good and bad. Sometimes they find dwarven ruins, other times a bandit camp. Starfield, on the other hand, does not even allow this. Almost every planet in this game is built by the process of procedural generation, and on those planets, locations are designed on the fly by a next-gen AI director.

While Starfield is a massive game and much more technologically advanced, it cannot match the beauty of the completely handcrafted world of Skyrim and Fallout 4. Hence, it is recommended that players enjoy Starfield to the fullest, but not expect to see Skyrim there, but something new altogether.

What about Elder Scrolls VI, though?

The next logical step for Bethesda Games would be to start actively working on their next game, Elder Scrolls VI. The game is naturally years away from launch at the moment.

And this game, without a doubt, would be just what Skyrim fans want from their Bethesda game: an untethered open-world RPG experience with things to discover and a world to keep on exploring.

And so the thing stands: Starfield is a very good Bethesda game, but it’s very different from other games. In its library, and there’s no point comparing. Just boot it up and go on a hunt for some secrets. who knows, you might find a hint about the missing pets of this game!
