I loved Fallout 4 but one of my least favorite aspects of it was how it forced me into base building when I pretty much wasn’t interested in that aspect of the game. I get Bethesda was doing something new and wanted to show it off, but it was so annoying being so prevalent in a lot of the main missions of that game. I’m really hoping they don’t make the same mistake with Starfield. I know a lot of people are hyped about the settlement building and the micro managing just as they were in Fallout 4, but personally I’m not super interested in that. I’m more interested in the RPG stuff.

    I agree I found the base building in FO4 tedious and unrewarding. But I have to say I’m looking fwd to it in SF because:

    1. I think the system will be a lot more polished and cohesive.
    2. It’s a much more interesting premise thematically - building outposts on far away planets is way more exciting than building on top of an old petrol station in the wasteland to me.
    3. It’ll look way better - graphically and structurally.
