So after a few hours into Starfield I am very disappointed (just as I was with Fallout 4). The game is pretty much the opposite of what Bethesda had hyped it up to be, it feels pretty much like Fallout 4 with a space mod. Fights in space in your spaceship are a let down, due to planets not changing size (so youre not exactly flying any closer or further away from them) it feels like youre spaceship is static while enemies fly around you, not very immersive.
I think I will give it a while until there are a good chunk of mods available to see if they make it any better, in the meantime I will stick with NMS which I feel overall is a much better game. Bethesda have kinda gone downhill after Morrowind (although Oblivion was good, I reckon they peaked with Morrowind).
