I have been dying for a space sim like this – story, ship combat, classic Bethesda RPG elements, etc. The direct showcased so many features that, if pitched to me in writing, I wouldn’t have believed possible to fit into a single game. But oh man am I a believer now.

I honestly think one of my most anticipated gameplay elements is just being able to survey different planets and enjoy the strikingly beautiful vistas and starscapes. I’ve often fantasized about having my own little space ship to just cruise around and hang out in. With this game, I can (almost) make that a reality.

What are you looking forward to?

    (I read somewhere that they had help with this from iD developers)

    In the recent IGN interview following Starfield Direct, Todd confirmed that this was for Fallout 4 I believe? And for Starfield, the improvements to FPS combat were done in-house by Bethesda.

      Yeah after seeing that interview he said they helped with gunplay for F4, but for Starfield they actually helped with graphics
