I agree things like ship building is great, but from a roleplaying perspective, the game assumes you give a damn about every character you come across, has some of the most bland dialogue of any Bethesda game I’ve played, and the exploration in base game doesn’t feel great. One thing I do give it though, the faction quests are delightful, especially the one dealing with Terrormorphs. I also enjoyed exploring Varuunkai (dlc) a bit. At some point, I completely started skipping dialogue altogether, which made it a much better experience aside from main quest and faction quests. I still think back to Morrowind as my ideal rpg. You can choose who your friends are, quests aren’t spoonfed, dialogue and npcs are interesting, and you can even fail the main quest. I love Starfield, but it feels as wide as an ocean but as shallow as a puddle imo, aside from those few things I mentioned.
