The real question is: how does Starfield compare to Outer Worlds? I wasn't too impressed by that but I also didn't really hear it being accused of being bland (plus you could
in the capital).
The writing is way better in outer worlds, but there's way less of it.
idk, kinda deluding yourself there. i just took a hammer to any character that was capitalist in ow cause i found them extremely annoying. and i gotta be frank i remember none of the characters in outer worlds (and tbh the only characters i remember in skyrim are dagon, azura, and serana... so maybe im weird). so far i kinda like andreja in starfield but a lot of the characters here also feel like paper. it just feels like fallout 4 but with uninteresting lore and ambiance. so its like... cookie cutter bethesda game. which if you like bethesda mechanics youll have stuff to do but otherwise its just meh. also, i gotta say i hate how i basically cant kill anyone in bethesda games, it bothers me a lot, esp when you attack them and they are immortal and shooting you.
I hate Sarah so much. Barrets the only good one I think. I like the quark character but pretty much only because quark is the voice.
which character is that?
Quark is the voice of the old venture capitalist man that finances the operation or whatever. My enjoyment is purely from nostalgia of ds9.
In addition to Armin Shimerman, Nana Visitor (Kira) and Tim Russ (Tuvok) voice your mom and dad characters.
I agree that the writing was better in Outer Worlds but it was completely ruined for me by the borderlands-tier humor they'd mix into it.
Like someone made an incredibly delicious cake but they mixed little shards of broken glass into it. By comparison, Starfield is a bland but consistent sponge cake.
That is true.
