As a programmer, it isn't mind blowing. Some of its neat, but pretty much all of it I've seen before at least as pieces. It's also doing a lot worse and less than I've seen before too. Bethesda games are not known for their technical capabilities though, so I'm not too bothered by any of the technical stuff. A lot of the design is what bothers me. There's so much friction for the player that you (or at least me) can never get immersed.
With this kind of reductionism, I wouldn't trust your code.
What did Starfield do that was mind blowing, in your opinion. I don't recall seeing anything that I haven't seen 10 years ago, including the scale.
