MODERATORS
In comparison to BG3, the dialogue and stories are incredibly bland in Starfield.
If you don’t compare it to BG3 though, then the dialogue and stories are still incredibly bland.
I swear every Bethesda game does this. For example, when you get three dialogue options, they all say basically the same thing, and they all set up the player to be dunked on by the NPCs response…
Or the only options are:
“wow! Incredible! I love kittens, good on ya kid!”
Or
“You don’t wanna mess with me, I’ll kill you.”
At least the stories were pretty good for the most part. Starfield's story and lore are just so generic and boring, and the dialogue ranges from corny to just flatout awful. Even compared to previous Bethesda games, the story elements in Starfield are a yawn fest that feel like they were written by history majors and not people who love science fiction.
BG3 has very bad writing as well.
Can you elaborate more on this a tad more?
Very short responses.
Very little dialog depth.
Pretty bad story.
It's very clear of the rewrites after Chris A. was ejected.
