MODERATORS
They were probably counting on modders. What they didn't consider was Starfield sucking so much not even the modders would care about it.
Theres actually a big full conversion Star Wars mod for Starfield that seems pretty cool… but I agree, Starfield is mid as hell. Meanwhile Baldurs Gate 3 is one of the best CRPGs of all time (and for loads of people, it’s their absolute fave). Starfield is a 5/10 while Baldurs Gate 3 is a 9/10 if not a 10/10. These two games aren’t even in the same ballpark.
I think they were counting on it being popular enough that they could drip feed hundreds of DLCs for years like The Sims. But then they forgot to make it even good enough for people to care about that.
Can't wait for TES6 to be even worse
I just watched the Fredrik Knudtson video about the Skyrim unofficial patch and its so hilarious that Statfield was so bad it broke the back of the effort to try and wrest control of the mantle "unofficial patch wardens for Bethesda games" from that asshole
