It all depends on how old you are basically. It shares more blood with Skyrim than it does Oblivion or Morrowind. It's also procedural, like Daggerfall and Arena, but done poorly. Those had procedural dungeons, while Starfield every dungeon is the same and it's only the boring open world that changes.
It's like their other stuff, but in most of the wrong ways in my opinion. Its got the (lack of) dialog options from FO4... I was going to point out things from other games, but the rest is all generic and applies to all of the modern ones.
It lacks the player control and agency from Morrowind or earlier that personally I'm looking for. I hope with the success of BG3 they realize they can give players freedom and options and they'll appreciate it.
