Dude, ok. The responses you received imo are somewhat disingenuous, and bandwagonish.
Is it the answer to Skyrim or Fallout? God no.
It is fun? Yes. It's Skyrim/Fallout in space. Don't expect much more than that.
You want an ultra realistic space fairing game? Play Elite Dangerous.
You'll have have at least 40-60 hours of fun. I'm not trying to be a shill here. There are a decent amount of things you can extract from Starfield for why you won't like it. However, it's still something worthy of experiencing.
Especially if you steal it.
Thank you for the more reasonable feedback. I’ve gleaned from a few youtube channels that it’s worth checking out for at least a little while if you don’t bring certain expectations to it. Outside Xtra/Xbox in particular had one discussion that made it still sound interesting enough to give it a shot.
And if nothing else, I could consider it “Train Wreck Simulator” and enjoy it for a while from that angle.
