Everyone wants an open world, nonlinear game and hates level based structure. However at the same time most people just do the main quest and maybe just a few side quests. Skyrim forced you to walk everywhere outside of the main holds while starfield is a fast travel simulator. Ironically, the way most people play Skyrim results in the same level based structure. Both games had a shit ton of side stuff to do, but Skyrim forced you to pass that stuff on the way to your objectives, while in starfield you have to consciously go out of your way to find side stuff to do on the map.
TL;DR starfield needs better flight and fuel mechanics to force you to engage in side content and spread out the objectives, and a survival mode.

I beat the main story, you didn’t miss anything
my most memorable moment was right after running away from the starborn after the first encounter. Sarah was all about how mysterious they were and we shouldn’t make and determinations until we have proof. SERIOUSLY not 20 seconds later she tells me not to trust them because (spoilers)… Like REALLY?! WTF

I know it’s a flawed game but, I’m also having a lot of fun playing it. I’m currently level 141 on ng+12. I’m also looking forward to dlc… well, actually that depends on if it’s included in game pass, if it isn’t then I probably won’t bother with it.

So it’ll truly become Skyrim in space.
It would have to be a good game to be skyrim
It died so quick while Skyrim has lasted too long
Because while still a bit shallow compared to previous entries, Skyrim had decades of TES lore to lean on so it’s just a much more interesting world.
