I've been keeping this one on a list for when it gets discounted.

It is, but with some neurons involved as opposed to yours.

If you are going to dissolve a Bethesda game into different particular genres, you can apply the same logic to Morrowind. I mentioned No Man's Sky because it incorporates several of them and is so dominant most people just compare everything to it, shame you can't run it. If you are just interested in space themed genres, Jump Ship is another good one, it includes both ship combat, exploration, resource management, and even has FPS, but lacks in the RPG department and focuses on roguelite mechanics and multiplayer.

I was wondering if you had something that was more akin to an RPG-multigenre alternative to Starfield as a recommendation, like The Outer Worlds with more space combat options, or if the updates for some other existing game franchise like Elite Dangerous, which had been experimenting with FPS, or perhaps Space Engineers, had also begun to compete in this regard. Or perhaps even something akin to what Cubic Odyssey seems to be.
