It's not garbage it's just classic Bethesda, by which I mean current classic Bethesda, as opposed to classic classic Bethesda.

Have you noticed how pretty much every mission is, fast travel to place x, kill a bunch of grunts, loot the body of the main guy, fast travel back to quest giver, get money.

The story is fine but the gameplay loop is just dull.

I want to fly my ship around and I want a moon buggy (What's the point of entire procedurally generated planets if you can't look at them, I know they're boring but still).

I just played Morrowind for the first time. If you talk to someone not facing you, they will not rotate to look at you. This feature is still in Starfield

Turning characters to look at you requires game boy level technology, I don't think Bethesda developers ready for that level just yet.

They still haven't figured out how to store inventories in code.

Wait, what? What's this about inventories?

I see current classic Bethesda as just a modders sandbox. Which I actually like. So starfield has been inline with my expectations.

Moon buggy mod may come out eventually. You can ride dragons and fly around in Skyrim.
