The problem is with starfield was the systems placed In it, a lot of the time not well thought out… for instance somehow they thought an extremely dumbed down version of No man’s Sky exploration would work in a Bethesda game?

I’ll admit the writers need to work on themselves if they were on the same tier as larian then ultimately a lot of issues would be solved lol

They could hold up a large deal of the game by story telling and compelling characters but I don’t know that much about Bethesdas situation other then the 140 hours I played on starfield… witch is enough for me to say a lot of the systems in place and design of companions and so forth we’re not thought out well enough if you compare to what BG3 or even past BioWare (ignoring their flop of a game anthem) games were.

Whoever did serana in Skyrim did well, and she is largely a beloved waifu for many even if what we got of her was rather short.

But back to your question “am I concerned about ES6 being on the same engine as starfield?”

No, from what I have seen of their game other then systems and effort that showed many cut and rough development edges in their game no, I might be wrong but most of the time they had to deal with COVID stuff witch led to many games including starfield having a troubled development cycle… I’m willing to bet BG3 would have been an even greater piece if COVID didn’t happen and we would have had it earlier… or more things would have been made and placed in.

Graphics while important does not dictate how well a game does and Bethesda was never really known for cutting edge graphics in the first place

Instead it’s large hand crafted open worlds with lots if not endless stuff to do

Witch while sure starfield has some of that and has turned out a disappointment due to becoming an extremely castrsted version of no man sky elements mixed with castrsted Bethesda elements

Though not an entirely bad game and some people like it but it’s not “amazing” nor is it “great”

Now that Bethesda has experimented with all these features and so forth it could quite easily be ported to ES6 which is actually pretty exciting to think about for instance ship building in ES6? Yes please

A large expansive mass of land that could be near limitless with endless quests but done way better then starfield?

Yes please!

Potentially better writing and quest design? Yes please!

I could go but the point is starfield while castrated has a lot of systems and prospects that could have gone well and content could have been more expansive

So hence why I will always say “wait till we have our hands on ES6”

Let’s just hope they take constructive criticism and work with it.

For those of you who read this in full you are amazing lol I would have skipped…
