If true, all of this is exciting news for those looking forward to enjoying Starfield. Bethesda is notorious for having several bugs and glitches in its sprawling open-world RPG games. This is not only at launch but for years and years afterward, ranging from minor yet hilarious to game-breaking. So it’s great that Starfield doesn’t fall victim to that tendency, and fans can look forward to enjoying a mostly smooth experience when the game releases.

Returning from previous Bethesda games are all the features we’ve come to expect from them over the years. Namely, these are a deep character creation system, massive open worlds to explore, hidden areas, unique experiences and of course player freedom and choice. All of these, and more, promise to be bigger and better than ever before. New features include modifying your spaceship with parts and assigning recruitable companions for bonuses exclusive to them, to name a few.
