Starfield is especially disappointing when you compare it to something like Morrowind. 1000s of planets and all you run into are human beings and all planets just kind've look like variations of earth.
Morrowind set the expectation bar too high for them. The promo video for the next elder scrolls was mountains so it doesn't give me high hopes for another fantastical world
I was so hesitantly excited for Starfield, ended up not buying it :/ I'm worried Bethesda is too big and rigid now to make anything spectacular again. They really did set a high bar and immediately followed it up by watering everything down to appeal to more people.
