Fallout 4 slow travel was great, IMO. You often ran into NPCs or new things to explore that you missed on the giant map.

Starfield is pointless though. There’s like a 5km sphere where all the ships are orbiting every planet and the jump mechanics between solar systems is basically nothing but fast travel anyway. Why am I even flying a ship? I can’t deorbit. I can’t control travel between worlds or around a world. I can’t explore much with it. Combat is rudimentary at best.

I’m a little butt-hurt.
