The rose tinted glasses thing, if you remember what Skyrim was back in its day then it was a really good game at the time.

Skyrim back in the day was a buggy pile of shit. Theres a reason half the mods you had to install were bugfixes.

but even as a buggy piece of shit, you could at least explore a rich and interesting sandbox.

Its decently less buggy today, but its still a rich and interesting sandbox. and more so, it has a strong foundation for mods to be built on.

Starfield doesnt have a rich and interesting sandbox, and the very foundations of the game are shit.

Oh yeah id agree with that. The reason the heart of that game isn’t there though is because the design is stuck in the past. They’re dragging along antiquated techniques and it’s just not going to work to build the worlds the same way. Especially not with the vision they had for Starfield.
