Btw I agree with many of the criticisms of #Starfield in the reviews I’ve read.
My take: while Skyrim is a power fantasy - before you even leave the tutorial area you’re taught magic etc - Starfield is a pleb simulator.
It dunks you on a planet that looks like a car park as a miner, and depending on the background you picked you probably can’t even sneak or lockpick. You’re given crappy weapons and set free with essentially no skills.
I’ve really enjoyed it.. but it is a slow burn.
