Baldur's Gate 3 has blown away expectations and redefined what an RPG can be, and that may put Bethesda's upcoming Starfield in a rough spot.

I love Bethesda games and I am sure this game will... probably be a big success...? I play their Elder Scrolls series of games and these are iconic. I hadn't planned to get Starfield but if it is a great game with planets to explore, I may buy it later.

with planets to explore

My worry here is that the majority will be procedurally generated planets.

Or how well they can pull off procedurally generated planets and have interesting and fun things to do there.

I play Valheim and it has procedurally generated land to explore. But their dungeon mazes are just hallways and doors that open to nothing. This becomes boring fast.

I have also played Bloodborne- Lovecraftian masterpiece. It has random generated dungeons and it is done well and are fun to explore. But nothing beats a human well crafted dungeon. At least not yet.

I am thinking the same thing. I do want Starfield but do not have a PC to play it on sadly. I am buying BG3 when it drops for PS5 next month so I also wonder how much they will lose out on by not having it released on PS.
