Why? It has one of the biggest modding communities in gaming, so there's a lot for people to like about it still, assuming they're fine with modding it.

because it's slop. there are so many more games to play that have better writing, direction, characters, environments, exploration, combat, RPG elements, and overall design.

I don't get Bethesda fans insisting on modding bland ass games. you can play a game that's better to begin with.

the game is slop, everybody else playing it is wrong!

I didn't say it's wrong, I said it's sad. also star field is objectively the sloppiest slop game even coming from the slop masters that are bethesda game studios. literally nothing about the game is remarkable.

while skyrim had a mediocre story handled badly and annoying af characters, it was at least carried by great environmental design and some memorable side quests, which is to say it greatly rewarded exploration.

the one real strength of their open worlds, and they threw that in the garbage to instead add fishbowls of minimally randomized and endlessly repeated slop separated by untold amounts of loading screens, tedious inventory management, and empty space where you do nothing but run in one direction. because there isn't even anything you can encounter between points of interests so you don't even explore.

yes, it is slop. and it is sad that people are playing that game for the sake of justifying their ovehyped purchase rather than playing better games which is almost any other game you have heard of.

A blank canvas is easier to add to
