The harsh reviews and criticisms are not landing in Bethesda like you think they are.

I wonder how many people regret their purchase like I do. I played 30 hours, dropped out and haven't looked back. It wasn't a terrible game, just not something that clicked with me in any way. If it weren't for the steep price I would not have forced myself to keep playing even that long, I was bored very soon.

I thought I could try the expansion on Game Pass, but turns out they only sell it and do not give it to Game Pass users for free, so I am not resubbing Game Pass and definitely not buying the DLC for another 30€. What a weird decision of them, could have given the game a new push of players.

Even when I look at the mods available I am just not drawn to it.

This is only the second game that I regret buying on release (not the pre-release, I was at least not that hyped) or at all since Watchdogs 1, but that I enjoyed in the end, it was just not what I had hoped for but still carried me to the end credits. I don't think I will see them for Starfield ever.

Glad that it has a fan base, just sad that it isn't for me.

Big agree. I bought it day one because initial reviews were good. Remember people saying Bethesda cooked? Played it till 6AM that day. A week later I booted it up again, and... After a few hours, I stopped and never opened it again. I don't know exactly why. It's exactly what we expected - Skyrim in space. But I think the realistic space-explorer fantasy and not very gripping story or characters just didn't appeal to me as much as i thought it would, and made me want to play TES instead.
