And some people were annoyed it didn't win game of the year...

Most average game of the year.
Bethesda hasn't innovated in years, they depend nearly entirely on the name alone

and modders.

Let us all remember that one time that they thought that monetizing the mods was a good idea and a massive amount of Steam users demolished them online. Like oh you want to make awful games, make that money, then have modders make cool content that makes it worth playing, and then have the balls to ask for a cut of what they’re selling it for?

And guess what? They still do that. And the fallout 76 store and subscription is something I will never forget.

The universe of Elder Scrolls: Spacerim just feels… strangely sparse and uninteresting, even in a lot of the places that should be interesting.

If this came out 5-6 years ago, it’d be a different story, but there’s frankly too many competitors that have done space RPG as good or better than Todd has with his latest entry.

I'm looking for games like this and The Outer Worlds, any suggestions?

Elite: Dangerous

No Man’s Sky

Star Citizen

I wouldn't call these RPGs though :( I love the first two, but they are Sandboxes without a campaign and right now I'd kill to have something like Mass Effect. Let's wait for Squadron 42...

Some people will worship anything Bethesda puts out, even when it's mid at best

Hey, at least it's better that worshipping Instinct Games.

Some people worship the turd products released by Apple, some the perfect games from Bethesda 😉

Some other people really let Apple live rent free in their heads lol

I mean, I actually like the game, but I will say that anyone that thought it deserved GOTY awards is delusional and presumably in a tiny minority to think it. It wasn't even plausible that it would even win best RPG when it came out the same year as Baldur's Gate 3. Starfield may not be a terrible game, but it's definitely not great either. It's thoroughly mediocre.
