I'm pretty hyped for this game. I love space RPGS and haven't had something cool since Mass Effect.
This is Bethesda. There's no way it'll be anywhere near as refined as mass effect.
But that means this will be more fun. I love me some Bethesda bug chaos. And mods.
I asume you've tried Elite Dangerous. Why didn't you like that?
I played the original Elite on the BBC, and then Elite 2 & 3 on the Amiga. Elite Dangerous on the PC was just plain dull by comparison.
I also love space RPGs. SWTOR was pretty great. It's an MMO, but it has good single player. The Knights of the Fallen Empire/Eternal Throne DLCs are basically single player games and they're really good quality. The KOTOR games are also really great, if a bit older and KOTOR2 was basically unfinished and requires mods to make it even feel 80% finished.
Outer Worlds was okay. It certainly does in some ways feel similar to Fallout in space. But not quite as good and I don't recall being aware of any serious modding scene.
But huh, I thought there'd be more, but I'm struggling to think of space RPGs with a feel like Mass Effect or Elder Scrolls. I'm really looking forward to this, too, cause despite being a buggy mess, I love Bethesda games and I also love sci fi (especially in space).
Not an RPG, but I also love Stellaris. It's a strategy game, but really scratched that hyper advanced sci fi and space exploration itch.
I really liked the Mass Effect Series, it's no Freelancer or Freespace but if Starfield even feels a little bit like what No Man Sky was doing it should be good. Fallout series and TES proves it will be buggy but fun.
