Starfield just doesn't look or play like a game that came out in 2023. Fallout 4 was already behind the curve for it's time, and Starfield is basically just Fallout 4 in Space 8 years later. Rpgs have evolved in both gameplay and narrative and Bethesda just isn't keeping up. Don't know if it's a skill issue or it's corporate suits playing it safe and setting unreasonable deadlines, probably a mix of both.
Starfield may be a success financially and find a fan base for now, but it's going to be forgotten soon by most and definitely won't be seeing rereleases a decade later.
