Additional info

Here's all the interesting information we gathered about Starfield.

"It's like Skyrim in space"
I mean, I think we all suspected Starfield would be like Skyrim in space, and I'd wager that's just what we want. A game that is like Skyrim in space. And that's what Howard said to The Washington Post. Exactly that. "It's like Skyrim in space."

But not exactly like Skyrim in space, as we'll see.

Starfield is built in Creation Engine 2
The trailer begins with the words "Alpha in-game footage | Creation Engine 2" showing on the screen. Bethesda also confirmed that Starfield is the first game to be built in the new engine.

That's probably good news. Players have been moaning about Bethesda's creaky Creation Engine for years, but we don't know much about Creation Engine 2 yet, or how much it differs from the engine used for Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76. Bethesda's singleplayer games have famously been a playground for modders, though, so hopefully the new engine will still be amenable to player-made mods.

Bethesda spent a lot of time on space cheese and button labels

First and most importantly, a sandwich is shown in the trailer as the astronaut enters the ship. There's bread, lettuce, salami, and cheese, and a single big bite out of it, which is how we all eat our sandwiches—by taking one big perfect bite out of it and then leaving the rest for later. Speaking to the Telegraph, Todd Howard revealed that the sandwich was given lots of attention for the trailer.

"We spent a lot of time on that cheese sandwich, getting the right sheen on a piece of space cheese," says Howard. "We like that stuff, we geek out on it. Every button, I think, is labelled in the ship."

There are factions like Skyrim, with Constellation being the main one
300 years in the future, humans are exploring deep space, and the faction known as Constellation "is this kind of last group of space explorers. It's like NASA meets Indiana Jones meets the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a group of people that are still searching for answers," Howard told the Telegraph.

"There are a lot of factions in the game but [Constellation is] the main one that you'll become a part of. It’s kind of like Skyrim in terms of the structure of the game, where you're going to be who you want to be, and then there's different factions that you can join, and really carve your own path."

Apologies if there's already a thread for this. I had a look but was unable to find it.

Apparently the release is likley closer than originally thought. Even though Bethesda have lost a bit of my respect with the mess that was FO76, this sounds like it could be amazing. Provided it doesn't turn out to be a mess upon release, it's a day one purchase for me. Fingers crossed.

How are you going to know whether it's a complete mess in advance, if you buy it on day 1?
