and I am really not impressed. I don't want to know more about the story, don't want to build a spaceship that I can fast travel with, don't want to explore the universe.

What are your thoughts?

It looks like Skyrim in space and I don't really get why anyone was expecting something else

But Skyrim is beautiful even with its older graphics and has an interesting world to explore. Grey space metal structures on grey planets just aren't interesting. Also even more so if the story starts with "you touched a weird rock", don't know why but here have my spaceship.

In Skyrim you're waking up going to be executed next moment there's a dragon attack.

I mean id argue Skyrim isnt that great to look at either, given its a continent full of tombs and snow due to its climate. Its just gray and white.

Both Morrowwind and Oblivion had more interesting places to look at than skyrim did.

I disagree, skyrim had beautiful nature, landscape and skies.

Are you about to bring up skies of all things, and compare to a space game with multiple skies due to having multiple planets?

Haven't played starfield yet, i just know that Skyrim has beautiful star constellations

Right? There was this one guy on Lemmy the other day expecting the game to be like Freelancer.... Like, dude, it's Fallout with a space suit, we've known that for years now. I feel like gamers always have the most stupid and unrealistic expectations imaginable.
