Idk, I don’t doubt that they know what they talk about.
However, some counterpoints:
- We already have working esp mods although they shouldn’t be possible at this point. Are they risky to use? Sure, but the ones I use work for me.
- Modding for Starfield before official mod support already feels on a whole different level than it was for previous games.
- Bethesda built Starfield with modding in mind more than any of their previous games. I doubt they did anything to cripple the modding capabilities. Big changes always happened from game to game. There wouldn’t be any progress without those.
I preordered and I am close to 300 hours of playtime.
Idk what you get from the thought that people dont enjoy the game but I can tell you for all its shortcomings I still have a lot of fun with Starfield.
