  I appreciate the positive reception to this video.  I've read the first ~1100 comments, hence all the hearted comments.  If I heart a comment, that means I've read and acknowledge what was said, but didn't have a response.

  Having a game be called a modders paradise should elicit the same dread reaction as calling a dilapidated house a handyman&apos;s delight. What it means is you&apos;re getting a barebones release with large deliberately empty stretches Bethesda expects modders to fill in for them.

  One thing I should add to the &quot;Modder&apos;s Paradise thing:&quot; Part of why Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout, Skyrim are so popular with modders is because there is potential in there. The base game is fun, at least to some people. If a game is meant to be heavily modded, but doesn&apos;t lure in players, it won&apos;t get many modders. There has to be something special in the game.

  The New Game+ system was the perfect opportunity for them to go back to the Morrowind style quest design of letting you kill any NPC you wanted, but with an interesting &apos;out&apos; instead of just having to load an older save file. How they managed to drop the ball so hard on the one big feature they were so protective of pre-release boggles the mind

  If there was ever a game for Bethesda to completely remove the training wheels, it&apos;s Starfield NG+. You have a perfect justification. Someone&apos;s been through the game once; let them sequence break, kill whoever they please, and do whatever they want. At worst, they just hard reset the universe for the next NG+ version.

  To quote a friend after showing them this video, &quot;I&apos;ve seen 40-page design documents for Minecraft modpacks.&quot; They&apos;re <b>important,</b> people.

  Finally finished the video. And I gotta say that the line &quot;Starfield is their most functional game to date, and yet their worst designed game ever&quot; is a perfect summary of this game.

  The duality of Bethesda interviews. On the one hand they want to &quot;say yes&quot; to the player all the time, on the other they think that Morrowind letting the player kill important NPCs was bad.

  &quot;The phrase &apos;there is truly nothing new under the sun&apos; is not supposed to be a design motto&quot; honestly one of the most biting critiques I&apos;ve heard in ages
