Personally, the writing in Starfield is merely bland but the Outer Worlds is actively annoying.

That's because Starfield actively tries too be as inoffensive as possible to as many groups of people as possible. It is truly distilled corporate blandness.

As a result of this it has literally nothing to say, no story, no conflict, no message, no art. It is background music to a television life insurance ad, entirely forgettable.

Yeah I agree. Starfield is a peice of toast I have in the morning while groggy from sleep - bland and utterly forgettable. Outer Worlds is the slice of toast someone slathered with hot sauce as a "hilarious" April Fool's joke. I'll remember the latter, but I'd much rather eat the former again.
