Starfield arrived as Bethesda's most ambitious project yet, promising a vast universe of exploration and possibility. However, many players have noted that certain design decisions may have actually limited player choice compared to beloved titles like Skyrim and Fallout. This video examines the specific mechanics and systems that feel more restrictive, from dialogue options to quest outcomes.

The discussion focuses on how Starfield's approach to role-playing differs from Bethesda's previous work. While the game excels in some areas like ship customization and outpost building, other traditional RPG elements seem streamlined or simplified. Understanding these changes helps contextualize where Starfield succeeds and where it may have missed opportunities to deliver the player-driven experiences fans expected from a Bethesda RPG.
