Starfield could have been a way better game if all they did was fuck it up like 45% less.

Compared to the KOTOR series, it was lifeless. Compared to Mass Effect, it was very boring. Frustrating for a game with such strong precedents to land so weakly. But they put so much energy into quantity of content that they forgot to invest in quality.

They could have alternatively just delivered on their promises of making the game easy to mod and let the community handle the rest but they fucked that up too.

The goal was to create a game that procedurally generated itself, not one where individual hobbyists expanded it manually.
