It's even better when Bethesda themselves describes Starfield as the "next-generation of RPGs". It's the same type of Bethesda game that I've been playing for 15+ years just with a new coat of paint. If this is the next-generation, then the future has no ambition whatsoever.

    That's just marketing fluff.

    The game seems (to me) to essentially be FPS, Sci-Fi Skyrim, with some space fight minigames. There's a lot of stuff you can do, but the main storyline is pretty short, the AI sucks, and most of the appeal is side content and looks.

    That's what I expect from Bethesda, and that's what they delivered. It's only really "next gen" in the procedural generation department, so it's basically a regular Bethesda game, with a little bit of experimentation thrown in. That's what Bethesda delivers, and they deliver pretty consistently.

    I'm guessing there will be a ton of cool mods in the next few years for a deeper story, interesting space combat, etc.
