You’ll probably find that a lot of planets in Starfield are pretty boring, but Bethesda says that’s kind of the point.

        People aren’t annoyed at you for asking if you’re insane, they’re annoyed at you because you apparently don’t know that it’s possible to do that without insulting everyone who disagrees with you.

            Protip, if you ask someone a question, and then follow that up with “Or am I insane?”. You’re heavily implying that they in fact are the ones who are insane.

            Maybe you legitimately didn’t know that. In case you didn’t, now you know.

            Seriously? On the very slim chance you’re actually just this clueless about polite communication,

            Did they pay you to write this? Are you forcing yourself to enjoy the game because you paid so much? Or am I insane?

            It’s not the third line of that that people object to, it’s what is implied by the entire statement. We assume you don’t consider yourself insane, because that’s obviously hyperbole, which means you do seem to think that anyone who disagrees with you is either a shill or stuck in a sunk cost fallacy.

            Consider the alternate phrasing of that entire statement, eg. “I’m just not seeing it. Am I insane or something?” And then the rest of your post. Nobody would be nearly so irritated with you in that context.
