Not that I specifically disagree with anything you said. But reviewers loved to call Skyrim “as wide as an ocean, but as deep as a puddle” as well. And while Starfield suffers from a worse case of this, it’s hard to argue this hasn’t been Bethesda’s main problem for a long while now.

Maybe this flaw finally caught up to Bethesda thanks to the march of time. But gotta hand it to em, they had a great run for a team the refuses to change with the times.

Its alright. Has a lot of fun moments, sometimes tries to hard and falls on its face. 6 or 7 outta 10.

It has a lot of fun with its roots as part of the Bethesda games, so if that is what you think of as Fallout, it gets bonus point. It takes a bit of a steaming dump on its roots as part of Interplay Fallout, so if that’s your frame of reference, loses some points.

All in all, worth watching, but only good in the context of “for a show about a video game”.

Still, because of the very opinionated fanbase, it’s either the best or worst thing ever depending on who you ask.
