I spent a few hours playing #Starfield ... I have never in my life practically fallen asleep while gaming. I've never played something that didn't manage to engage me in some way.
I also never finished #Skyrim and that was mainly because I ran over 150 mods that made the game so much more interesting and the world so lush, I spent most of my time just wandering and "living" in it. I lost interest in the plot completely.
Starfield is the most uninteresting space game I've ever played ...

@thewebrecluse Wow. My experience has been completely different, but each player enjoys games differently. :)
@Synical It's entirely possible this isn't a game for me. While I loved Mass Effect and I still enjoy No Mans Sky which really is very open and doesn't have a set plot at all ... and I played Wing Commander and Privateer and all the classics back in the day ... there is something about the feel of Starfield that is sucking the life out of me. I guess I just want something new after decades of gaming ... it doesn't feel innovative or unique or different at all.
@thewebrecluse Gotcha. For me, I tend towards exploration, crafting, and completionist type play-throughs. For example, I was I think level 6 before I even made it to New Atlantis. I'm pretty sure I'm still on the very beginning quests (Sarah is still my companion and I haven't finished either of the chains her "friend" gave out), and I hit level 20 earlier today.
As my wife says, I've never met a side quest I didn't love, or a crafting recipe I didn't want to try! 😜
@Synical Yeah I'm not a completionist and maybe its because I just don't have that much time to dedicate to it. I did spend TONS of hours in No Mans Sky flying around, building a base, collecting ships and just forging my own story in it ... I liked that sandbox kind of aspect. I only just picked up Sarah ... passed the Vanguard test but didn't join yet. I just started off with her to Mars so I'm not that far in it all. I did most of the sides on Jemin to build up some credits first.
