Because A LOT of those are less than half-baked
And that's where I think the criticism of planning, scope management, and talent ring true
Because they were not aiming at a point that would have made Starfield a generation defining game
Despite.... Probably should of doing that
NMS solved the problem of in-atmosphere flying not trivializing the game, by disabling weapons
Idk of a better system
But even with that concession, they had to reach NMS launch levels of traversal
5 "settled" planets or w/e
Maybe 10 notable cities across the sector
I don't like any of the cities they did make either
New Texas was probably the best
Other than the constellation/museum area of New Atlantis
Gotta enjoy the larp

They could have done lots of space nomads
Yeah
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 They could have done lots of space nomads
freestar collective is suppoused to be that, a bunch of space nomads and settlers under a singular flag due to the dangers of UC nomming up everything
Too bad, they are 100% not that
I wonder how many studios out there are working on a space game
