I was never a Fallout fan. I was however a huge Elder Scrolls fan (over 2500 hours in Skyrim alone) and I think Bethesda did a phenomenal job. I'm 150 hours into Starfield and I'm still finding things I've never seen before. I had high expectations for this game and it met most of them.
I think people have been too critical so far of this game. Updates and DLCs will add to the experience even further. This is surely a great game I'll be playing for years to come!
