In my experience, there"s (nearly) always an alternative view point.
If you like, please tell us more about your favorite things that the game offers. IIRC, the Ghou (?) "mission" of #Fallout3 was pretty spooky. It reminded me of #ResidentEvil stuff.
I liked this part quite a bit...
@AetherEgo Well, I am barely three hours in (and am traveling this weekend), so I can't say much yet about the game's highlights. But I will say this:
With, say, Mass Effect 1-3 the game always played in very constrained environments. Even in the Citadel, there was only so much to see and do.
So far, in #Starfield , I have visited two major cities - New Atlantis and Cydonia. They are truly massive settlements, the biggest cities Bethesda has ever done. In both cases, I was focused on the main quest.
But I was also aware that, if it struck my fancy, I could just explore a random sector of the city and see the sights and figure out what to do there - or, indeed, simply walk out of the city itself and seamlessly explore the surrounding wilderness, and look around and try to find something interesting there.
In a lot of video game RPGs, there is plenty of talk about finding all the quests, figuring out the "optimal path/build", maxing out your gear, and so forth. But that's pretty much an impossibility in Bethesda open world RPGs . there is always more to do out there. You can only really explore them over multiple playthroughs - and each playthrough will be different.
It's the difference between doing a vacation as a guided tour and a free-form hiking trip. And I am very much a hiking person.
