    The release timing is unfortunate.

    It really does show that Bethesda are running about 10 years behind everyone else.

    It cost them twice as much to make as BG3 did. How? Just compare any BG3 character and how animated they are thanks to full motion capture, to the same Bethesda animatronics they’ve used since forever.

      It is not unfortunate, it is a strategic win by Larian. BG3 was actually supposed to come very late, but Larian released it early after learning about Starfield’s release date.

        They needn’t have worried. At all.

        People are even talking about Cyberpunk 2077 favourably again. That’s how much shit Starfield is getting.

          Cyberpunk 2077 was good (on PC) when It came out, and now it’s great. It has earned that favourable talk.
