Unless it releases in a state even worse than their previous games I feel like this is going to be their biggest game since Skyrim.
I honestly believe the entire reason behind the delay of Starfield is because they want to polish the game enough as to not anger the execs at microsoft and make them do to bethesda what they did to obisidian.
I would however think having a bunch of different planets will see a return of some more interesting looking locations.
Despite many of the locations in Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim, having a ton of copy-paste looking areas, they still had unique locations to explore, even if those locations inevitably end up becoming slashing/shooting galleries.
they were still there, and i highly doubt Starfield will be any different, Bethesda has clearly gained tons of money from doing what they do, and they haven't seen a single reason to stop, even those who hate their games eventually purchase it, whether it be on release, or two years from release, and that's my point. bethesda doesn't have some secret employee there who views each customer complaint individually and the reason being is that they've done the same game with the same design philosophy as before, and it always earned them a massive amount of money so in which case they see their method of developing video games to be perfectly fine. Despite the lots, lots of flaws many of the fans have highlighted about their games, and it's also not a coincidence how 90% of gameplay they highlighted in the trailer was shooting.
