I love handcrafted world of skyrim. Escapist preview essentially mentioned that a lot of the starfield world is barren procedural-like planets. I would love an exploration game. I’m not sure I want a game with bazillion planets each of which has essentially same outpost (from design perspective). Granted, I might be wring, I keep watching reviews and opinions, but at this point, the game is not instabuy, more like wait for a sale - if it kept its hype.
That's fair, but also, the fact that it has procedural generation should not be a surprise to anyone at this point, they were very open about it.
I'm just hoping there's an easy way to distinguish in game between the procedural stuff that's not worth exploring and the stuff that is. I'm hoping it can be safely ignored, but it WILL be annoying if they hide really interesting questlines on otherwise barren planets.
