Most Innovative Gameplay Award - Starfield

Really? Really?

What the hell innovation does Starfield have?

I seriously was wondering if it was actually because it is arguably the most stable Bethesda release ever. I mean, it ran well even on hardware that didn't meet minimum requirements in my personal experience. While not innovative to gaming as a whole, a stable Bethesda RPG is pretty innovative for Bethesda.

Dunno, I remember Skyrim being significantly more stable on my computer back in 2011 than Starfield. SF crashed a lot and forced me to endure some 5 blue screens of death, either mem_corruption or page_alloc errors.

They should've released the modding tools instead, then the unofficial patch would make it stable and everyone would've been happier.

Never before was there a game with this much fast travel. Even forcing you to fast travel. This is true innovation
