Todd? Is that you? And I know you will read this, it's just human nature.

Yes it's a bad argument. It doesn't answer anything. You don't know thousands upon thousands of people not even mentionning gamers that you talked to that actually played the game and have nothing but good things to say about it. It's just unproven, unrelated statements. It would still be a bethesda game with all the things I've mentionned completely fixed. You just got caught by promises and brand recognition.

I myself said it's a 6. There's no hatred i just don't think it's the product of a great studio growing to be their best as I've thoroughly explained three times now. You just respond pointless straw man arguments when we bring forward valid criticism. You have to defend your points also, and they have to address the points others make. That's how debating work. You can't just say "but I like it" and be taken seriously.

You also don't seem to understand bias. I thought about things I didn't like and why. Contrary to you I explained with multiple examples why I came up with my opinion of Starfield but you just answer "It's a bethesda game". How is that a proper answer? And don't go with whataboutisms about how the map size is big though, Tell my why the AI got better. Tell me why the quests and choices are good and deep and why the 230000 voice lines make the game better. You go, that's how you debate. But no you only go back to "but I love it an millions do" on a post about a video (out of dozens) deep diving into the flaw of the game and studio. Tell me why my arguments are bad and why your NG+or whatever they worked so flaming hard on is correcting them.

Also don't pretend I'm not civil because you disagree and bring forward evidence of your claims. Address the criticism instead of hiding behind your fandom. Don't use straw man examples like the Beatles vs Cradle or NG+ addition bullshit unrelated arguments. It's such a bad faith argument you cannot be really believing it's in your favour. You are free to love it but this was a post about the flaws of Starfield and Bethesda as a whole and, most importantly, why. If you cannot bring anything more convincing than "it's a bethesda game what did you expect" then you are actually lying to yourself and you know what we are talking about. You just can't admit it to yourself, because you have to be Todd Howard himself or this doesn't make any sense.
