    Skyrim is 13 years old and has many more players. It says “Starfield was not a return to form for Bethesda.”

      Is it something to do with modding-community?

      If that generates a load of free cool stuff people may play more for longer.

      The main IP rights owner probably doesn’t really want this, they want to develop and sell a new game or expansion.

        The main IP rights holder for Star field is the same as that of Skyrim (aka: Bethesda)

        The IP holder at this point is Microsoft, so who knows. Microsoft has bought up a lot of big gaming outfits recently, so this is kind of new territory.

        I’m waiting on more world shit mods to play it again, recently saw a house building mod on any planet and have my hopes up more will come. Granted Bethesda might actually want this engagement so they can release a definitive edition with hella mods, to bridge their own technical gaps again lol.

      Vanilla Skyrim < Vanilla Starfield

      Modded Skyrim >>> Vanilla Starfield

      Simple as. I went back and replayed Vanilla Skyrim this year, and let me be the first to tell you that Starfield is legitimately a better game when it comes to roleplaying, choices, and quest design. Skyrim has a far more interactive and immersive world design, but to me that falls flat when the game is so fucking boring to interact with (hot take, I know).

      Mods fix all of those problems with Skyrim, and that’s what people are playing now.
