Starfield, despite its promises of vast space and a gripping story, didn’t quite receive the praise Bethesda had anticipated. While there are many factors that can be debated, the bottom line is that Bethesda didn’t achieve the success it was aiming for.
Bethesda continues to support its science fiction RPG with fan mods, even though the game is far from perfect, and fans appreciate that effort. However, some players argue that the studio shouldn’t repeat the same mistakes it made with its previous two games.
Fans Don’t Want Bethesda to Repeat Skyrim and Fallout 4 Mistakes with Starfield
Starfieldfans seeking to enhance their gameplay appreciate Bethesda’s focus on the Creations system. The studio periodically addsofficial mods, which many find valuable. However, some players feel that the same mistakes made inSkyrimandFallout 4are being repeated here.

Many believe that while there was plenty of officialcontentin these two games, but it was ultimately wasted due to mistakes in terms of timing and game balance.
Players argue that these mods can instantly boost new characters, offering a quick shortcut for those looking to become extremely powerful. While fans agree that this might not be an issue for high-level characters, they stress that it negatively impacts the overall game balance.
Some believe this is a deliberate choice rather than a mistake. The most striking example is that potions made with Hearthfire-specific ingredients inSkyrimare intentionally valued at 100 times more than anything else, catering to those who want to become stronger quickly.
In Bethesda’s science fiction RPG, the Gravis suit is often cited by fans as a major example of what they consider a mistake. It’s an item that can outclass all other armor in the game, providing new characters with significant advantages without any effort.
While many fans argue that completing quests to find certain items is more enjoyable than buying them outright, others feel it’s reasonable for players who pay for such content to want instant equipping, rather than waiting through 20 hours of gameplay.
What’s the Latest in Starfield?
The game didn’t achieve the launch it had hoped for. While there were many contributing things, one of the biggest complaints from players was its relatively outdated gameplay mechanics.
Starfield’s Biggest Problem is One That Nearly Every Other RPG Suffers From Too
Despite these issues, the title has performed well in sales actually. Although exact figures aren’t available, it’s known to be one of the top three best-selling Steam games of 2023, trailing only behindHogwarts LegacyandBaldur’s Gate 3.
The game peaked at 330K players on Steam 11 months ago, with its highest player count in the last 24 hours at around 6K. Lastly, its Metascore of 83 and User Score of 6.8 indicate that it’s considered an average, if not a legendary, piece of work.
