Coming from someone who loves the game: it feels like BGS is quietly deciding to end it's post-launch support in favor on focusing on TES6. - REPOST (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

REPOST

Starfield is in the top 3 Bethesda games for me. I know, I'm weird, let's not discuss it further. And even though I love the game, I can acknowledge that it has a pretty negative reputation. Some of it is deserved, a lot of it is also - i feel - is being hit by the online discourse, which isn't exclusive to Starfield at all.

I think it doesn't make financial sense to develop Starfield further. People don't seem as interested, modding is mostly via paid mods, this sub is all ship screenshots. The interest isn't there. Only time when people want to talk about Starfield is when they want, for umpteenth time, to express how disappointed they are.

This radio silence right now is, i feel, good indication. Bethesda sees it's not worth it loud and clear. They might release one more half-assed DLC, and then I feel they'll bow out. A shame, I would've liked to see this game prosper, but it just doesn't seem to be in the stars.

Honestly, the entire Unity system felt... wrong. Your character spends a lot of time making friends and can potentially get married and then just decides to throw all that away? Doesn't make sense to me. If you know the plot ahead and are willing to metagame you can set it up so that your love interest dies and you have motivation to "set things right" and go through the Unity once, but the endless NG+ cycles the game wants you to do can't really be justified in character.
