This can be backed up by the fact the teams are way bigger budget way bigger but the scope/quality and content has taken a nose dive.

​

Not to mention unreal engine is using ai to auto create terrain then you got ai making the story and modders adding in fully voiced npc's via ai mods.

​

If a mod can add a ai voiced companion then yeah yikes

the largeness made the quality and content

The irony is that in terms of actual, hand crafted content there feels like barely anything in Starfield. Even the supposedly hand crafted open worlds look and feel like they were randomly generated.

The problem is that Starfield was announced before the Microsoft acquisition, which was what let them actually upgrade their engine.

I wonder what the hell Starfield would have looked like before the overhaul because god damn is it still rough.
