Starfields core gameplay is actually leagues more refined then prior games on the same engine, feels really good to play, where it lacks heavily is story, which is historically how they made up the difference between the lackluster gameplay.

To clarify a little, I mostly mean the FPS style gunplay.

you and i must have been playing different bethesda games, because none of them have been particularly interesting story-wise

Elder Scrolls lore is pretty cool, they've never been AMAZING stories, but there's enough there to RP and make decisions and such that have some kind of impact.
