Something about Skyrim was 'genre perfect'.
Unless they do a radical overhaul of Starfield, it won't have the decades worth of Skyrim & Oblivion longevity for me. A handful of residents in a Skyrim town felt more alive than Starfield's vast cities of Soulless NPCs.
I'm just finding it annoyingly complicated, nothing I can't work out but I just don't want to spend my limited gaming time learning it all ... Inventory, ships, starmaps all just seem overly faffy for no obvious reason, or am I just being lazy?
Nope the game is a bit of a mess, the starmap thing really annoys me that I have to remember where places were rather than just type in "make it so"
Very much so, with outposts I've found the links don't initially appear to work but if you afk for a few minutes they sort themselves out. It's like it sometimes needs to do a round trip before deciding it'll take cargo.
They could make this very simple but I find it hilarious that you need multiple landing pads for moving cargo, the cargo ships will carry a relatively small amount of cargo despite being cargo ships.. it 100% feels like a rushed implementation.
Skyrim for its time was a great game - but unmodded it's hardly aged well.
There's not a single NPC in Skyrim that has the range of dialogue that each of the Constellation companions have (heck, there's companions you can find in entirely optional side-quests that have more dialogue than any Skyrim character) - also every Constellation companion (except Vasco) has their own quest chain and all of them are pretty good (Barrett's is the weakest IMO).
Some prominent Skyrim NPCs barely have a handful of lines of dialogue (Lydia for example, and my personal favourite, Sylgja).
I'll admit that Starfield's content is spread thin over the large amount of real estate the game has - but it's still a vast amount of content and easily more (and of a much higher quality) than Skyrim.

Regen is also available as a backpack upgrade.Top tip if you want to level regeneration, just carry too much, run around until your health is really low then heal back up. tada you've went below 20% health and fully healed 3 times lol. Mechanics are so messed up in the game
Weird - I've got a similar setup to you (just a 4090 instead of a 4080) and it's been generally very stable - have you got any overclocks? The only crashes I've had (and it crashes every time) is when my XBox controller runs out of batteries.
This is the first time I have had a crash to desktop if I recall but it's happened at a time when I am teetering on the edge in regards to playing it anyway.
No overclocks anyhow, all stock.

It's ridiculous really.
Their biggest game release in years and they have released 2 small patches?!
I'm baffled by how poor the performance is. I started playing Cyberpunk 2077 again last night; max settings, looks amazing, runs perfectly. Starfield on the other hand, looks dreadful, and runs poorly; fps drops to sub 40 in some areas. Meh, 160hrs, so at least I've got my money worth.
