- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Starfield sounds like an okay game but all the PR responding to complaints sounds like an absolute disaster. Stop letting Todd answer these things directly
I've flipped flopped my consensus about the game a couple times, but my conclusion is this...
Starfield is not going to be what you expected from Skyrim in space, at first. It will seem weird and claustrophobic and broken.
But if you give yourself a bit to acclimate to the world they've built, there is a surprisingly engaging game underneath.
I believe they've left most planets barren on purpose, so they can easily shove DLC wherever they want for the next 10 years.
"New facehugger planet, 20 hours of exciting quests and valuable loot! - $29.99"
That's 100% going to happen.
How can one person have a consensus?
It's only a problem when they can't.
