Starfield is Rotten to the Core

  The fact that BG3 exists and was developed by a team of 450 when Bethesda has around the same size of team should tell you enough about how Bethesda has fallen.

  What is the most insane part in this game: nothing has real consequences, nothing changes, nothing has stakes.....<br>In a game which main twist is A STORY BASED INFINITE NEW GAME PLUS!!!!

  The ending/story of Starfield was clearly supposed to be deeply philosophical and profound. Sadly it was clearly written by people whose deepest thinking was a &quot;Dude, it&apos;s like we&apos;re all connected!&quot; moment while smoking weed in a college dorm room.

  Bethesda&apos;s writing is pathetic because Bethesda doesn&apos;t hire writers. They are quoted as saying that &quot;our level designers are our writers&quot; as a mark of pride of their team&apos;s capabilities, but the truth is that designers aren&apos;t writers. &nbsp;Writers are writers. <br><br>And the designers who currently write for Bethesda are bad at it.

  I honestly believe the top brass of Bethesda thought that if they sold a huge empty sandbox, that modders would build sandcastles overtime. Pretty much building a game for them.

  You know, if Starfield were a better game, it&apos;d be absolutely HILARIOUS to do a playthrough where you get everyone in Constellation to hate your guts early on, just absolutely tank your reputation with everyone there, then drunkenly shit-talk whoever died during the funeral. But that&apos;s not the game Starfield is. Starfield is a Disneyland ride. Starfield is unaware of its own irony, presenting a universe that the game claims is all about choice while making sure that none of your choices actually matter. It&apos;s one of the most nihilistic games I&apos;ve ever played.

  Bethesda:<br>Makes games that are famous for being so big that people ignore the main story to do other things.<br>Also Bethesda:<br>Makes a game where they expect you to repeat the main story over and over while also not providing any significant changes or build variety that would make you want to play it more than once.

  Bethesda wanted the wow-factor of a timeloop story without putting in the leg work to give meaningful narrative and philosophical explorations of that topic. You reach the bottom of the puddle with your first bombastic splash, leaving little water left for repeat attempts.

  “Starfield sucks” is my favorite YouTube video genre

  That is what bugs me the most. They call it &quot;multiverse&quot; yet in every iteration the game is exactly the same. Same missions, same morons comandeering you around. So where is the fun in that?

  The &quot;They didn&apos;t wanna write the story-arc for the daughter being the 1 of 4 potential dead squad-mates&quot; thing was really funny to me when I&apos;ve played enough Baldur&apos;s Gate 3 to know they&apos;d absolutely write her arc, voice act it, animate it and all in top tier fucking quality.<br>Even while knowing many players won&apos;t see that.
