"Join Game Director Todd Howard and the Starfield development team as they dive deep into the first new universe from Bethesda Game Studios in over 25 years."

What do you all think? I'm actually pretty impressed by the gameplay they showed off. Definitely going to wait for reviews but I'm hoping they pull it off. Would love for someone to finally deliver a good sci-fi game of this scale.

prediction:

main plot locations are more handcrafted plus quests/factions
the rest of non-plot locations are just fillers to do gathering and fight procedural generated mobs settlements.
I don't think it's a big galaxy anyway, but probably a couple hundred systems with about 50~70 populated by the developers. So more like "local region".

did a bit google and I am right on the last bit already. source

There are over 100 Starfield star systems to find and explore, grouped by level that create difficulty tiers depending on where you go at your current level.

It might not be a bad thing for a Beth game, after all, all that space is free real estate for modders, and it will lead to less conflicts since big mods can just take over a bunch of planets no one else really uses, and everyone can take over different ones. Or even add new ones I guess.

Yeah, if it's in terms of modding then that's pretty good. But it would take some time as it's a new engine right?

We've got time, at this rate it will be 2031 before their next release.

Very ambitious, looks great.

I'm disappointed they don't have the capability to work on ES, Fallout, and this in parallel. You'd think that they sold enough Skyrim units to do that but seem to feel like they can't do all those things at once.
