That's the thing though- I've already played fallout. I've already played Skyrim. There are mods and expansion packs that give me more of the same already.
What I expected wasn't fallout in space, I expected innovation and iteration on a genre, not the exact same things in a new setting.

This is what's weird to me. Bethesda basically promised "Skyrim in Space", and that's what most of the hype started to come from. And they genuinely gave us exactly that.
People who don't like Skyrim won't like Starfield. People who wanted something more "innovative" than just Skyrim in Space with Better Graphics were creating their own sort of fabricated hype.
Personally, I think it feels like a bit of a mix of Oblivion and Fallout 3, but with Skyrim-like updated graphics and such. But I kinda like that anyway.
