MODERATORS
On one hand, yes, the internet does move really fast nowadays and a bunch of other really good games are out this year.
But on the other hand...
All of the companions are at best boring and samey or at worst really irritating so the people who play Bioware+Bethesda games to romance the NPCs aren't hopping onto playing the game.
The game is like. stunningly, jaw droppingly ugly for a 2023 AAA game and runs like shit on top of that so nvidia paypig people who play games to record their gorgeous 4k 60fps videos aren't making a lot of buzz around the game.
The creation kit equivalent isn't out yet (I'm not sure if there's even a script extender yet) so the modding community can't sink their teeth into it yet. Like there are nudie mods but ngl the human models are so ugly it seems like more of a token effort until the modkit gets released.
So yeah even if there's really baller story beats or meme worthy dialogue there's not enough dedicated eyes on it.
Script extenders came out for starfield in a very short amount of time. The games just waiting for CK
Ah okay, I wasn't sure if that was something that needed the CK or if the script extender developers could release it ahead of time. Good to know.
