Dude, ok. The responses you received imo are somewhat disingenuous, and bandwagonish.
Is it the answer to Skyrim or Fallout? God no.
It is fun? Yes. It’s Skyrim/Fallout in space. Don’t expect much more than that.
You want an ultra realistic space fairing game? Play Elite Dangerous.
You’ll have have at least 40-60 hours of fun. I’m not trying to be a shill here. There are a decent amount of things you can extract from Starfield for why you won’t like it. However, it’s still something worthy of experiencing.
Especially if you steal it.
I wouldn’t go that far, but we could benefit with less of it.
