It looks exactly like Skyrim but the player character is an ant.

    I think Starfield looks cool. I have regarded Skyrim with a fairly significant level of contempt since day one, but . . . I know what Bethesda does and while I think a lot of it is dogshit, it's probably going to be a good time for a while.

      I've possibly spent more time playing Skyrim's mods than any other game. Before Skyrim came out I would have said the same thing about Oblivion or Jedi Outcast/Academy.

      My only hope for Starfield is that whatever bullshit they are undoubtedly planning for the modding community doesn't piss everyone off too much and we see a deluge of fanmade content for it. It can be as good or as mid or as bad as it wants - I just want to see a new major release get busted open and attract a mod community the way Skyrim did.

        I have played, oh, ballpark 4000 hours of Bethesda games in the last 2 decades starting with Morrowind, played every game so far, and the only one I have beaten even one time was Fallout 3.

      Skyrim was my first Bethesda game I enjoyed (Brink was my first Bethesda game lmao), so it has a place in my heart. I hope Starfield is good because it would be nice to experience something like that after all these years.

        Western RPGs kinda left Bethesda's realm after the Eastern European countries started making them.

          Yeah. Witcher 3 blew me away when it came out. Hell even Cyberpunk 2077 impressed me when I first played it (after all the updates).

            Also Disco and Kingdom Come, all unique takes that broke away from the Bethesda jank and managed to make compelling story based RPGs.

              Kingdom Come was the one where the dev wouldn't let the player or any NPC be black because of "historical accuracy", right?

                  Mordhau had a similar Chud problem. I overcame it by making a gigantic knight in a red tunic and beating people to death with my bare hands while spamming b its of the manifesto in chat.

                  Historical accuracy in kingdom come means running around naked at night breaking into everyone's house and stealing anything that isn't nailed down.

              Was Kingdom Come good? I heard it was Meh. Disco is one of my favorite games of all time. I also would say it western RPGs went away from Bioware style games as well after Mass Effect 3 (which I will say after playing the trilogy again last year, I didn't hate as much).

                kcd was a game i wouldnt have found fun in a vacuum but honestly a game where attack animations are based off historical fencing was something i liked so much that it made me overlook the games many flaws. (ofc i did pirate it)

                Kingdom Come is a great game, but it could be so much more.

                When I first played it Kingdom Come was the first RPG of that type since probably Morrowind to really suck me in. It's a shame about the dev and it's a shame that it's so incredibly uneven - you'll do some of the best and most memorable quests ever, but you'll also get locked into inescapable boss arenas and battlefields that are awful.

          I liked Witcher 2, and witcher 1 was okay, but Witcher 3 never grabbed myinterests. Kingdom Come's combat was completely impenetrible and I gave up on it.
