When Starfield first released for Xbox Series X in 2023, I was so excited. When the initial hubbub from 2016 and 2018 occurred, I didn’t think too much of it. It was merely a pipe dream that was still years away. As the release date drew closer, I made a mental note that this would become a placeholder for me until the next Elder Scrolls game. It had very similar story and visual style beats. It used an updated version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's Creation Engine, which they call Creation Engine 2. To an experienced player, Starfield had a similar feel to previous games by Bethesda Game Studios. This made it easy to pick up on and easy to engage with. Oh, was I wrong in thinking that this would last until Elder Scrolls VI. I, as I tend to do with BGS games, ran through it fairly quickly. I’m sorry. I am the kid in a candy store when it comes to games from Bethesda. Usually, this would be the death knell for me. This is why I wandered the world of Skyrim in 2011 after defeating Alduin and deciding to just pick berries and make potions for seven months until the Dawnguard DLC released.
