The fact that you can't space walk without cheats is what I'm getting at. I want to be able to leave the ship to go investigate some wreckage, get into someone's airlock to bring some needed supplies to a stranded vessel, or set up a mining outpost on an asteroid. Basically, the same feel you get when walking between towns in Elder Scrolls games, but with the unique mechanics space allows.
Starfield does a lot of things pretty well, but doesn't really stand out in any of them. There's a lot of elements of a great game there, but it just ends up being pretty good instead. That's still awesome and it'll sell well, but I am looking for that special something, and I'm basically seeing Skyrim in space. Not a lot of innovation, just a mapping of that formula into a space setting.
