Genuinely, the guy is complaining that the game, that we know practically nothing about, will probably give you a questline to liberate slaves.

At the most basic level (I.E. role-playing as an evil character) I sort of agree. But, like, they're not going to force you to do the whole quest. Ignoring the prompt is the evil option. If you ignore the questline, the slaves remain slaves.

The problem isn't wokeness. I doubt anyone would object to the concept of role-playing as an evil character. Hell, it can even be beneficial to role-play as an evil character, as it can provide insight into what motivates evil in the real world. Bethesda isn't trying to take away evil options because they have a woke agenda. Bethesda isn't going to give us evil options because Todd Howard is an idiot who believes having broad gameplay is the same as having deep gameplay.

I mean if star field was a canary in the coal mines.. look it’s not gonna be better we will be lucky if it’s a better version of Skyrim and even that is questionable.

I don't think anybody even likes Bethesda games for their genuine merits anymore. They're fundamentally broken in ways that people find appealing for some reason.

each bethesda game is now just the most recent and prettiest porn mod platform. Except Starfield was so underwhelming that most modders stayed on Fallout and Skyrim!
