More than Skyrim or Fallout, Todd Howard says Starfield was "intentionally made to be played for a long time" and Bethesda's looking 5+ years ahead (www.gamesradar.com)

I was actually pretty impressed with the loading, especially after coming from bg3. It was pretty much instant for me.

Coming from bg3, I had the opposite opinion. BG3 loading screens take a while but it doesnt load very much unless your loading saves a lot. With Starfield you get hit with a small loading screen constantly like when transitioning in/out of ships, buildings, planets, etc.

I save scum like a mother so bg3 was pretty painful to get through. Starfield was a breath of fresh air.

For me it's not the speed, but the quantity. Docking? Loading screen. Launching off planet? Loading screen. Changing planet? Loading screen. Landing on the same planet? Loading screen. The only solution is to fast travel everywhere in an "immersive" space sim RPG. NMS and Elite:Dangerous have solved this issue. Bethesda needs to get with the times already.
