Starfield’s Main Story Avoids An Annoying Skyrim & Fallout 4 Trope

Starfield is Bethesda Game Studios’ most ambitious game to date, and while it bears many similarities to its predecessors, its main story manages to avoid a trope that created dissonance in both The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim and Fallout 4. In many ways, Starfield operates on upgraded systems originally laid down by Oblivion, the fourth Elder Scrolls game, in 2006. The relatively grounded science fiction setting of Starfield‘s Settled Systems is a far cry from TES‘ Tamriel, and even Fallout‘s post-nuclear holocaust wastelands. It’s through commitment to its incredibly expansive setting that Starfield rectifies a particular plot annoyance present in Skyrim and Fallout 4.
