Starfield’s Hand-Crafted Content is a Masterclass in Balance

Ahead of its release, many players shared some concern regarding Starfield‘s use of procedural generation and questioning how the title would leverage the technology. One of the larger concerns voiced was that most of Starfield‘s planets would be procedurally generated and lack the distinct, hand-crafted content and worthwhile exploration of Bethesda’s other RPG series The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Thankfully, Starfield doesn’t just present players with a massive galaxy to explore devoid of character, but instead is able to use procedural generation as a tool to make its hand-crafted planets and meticulously designed interior spaces shine as some of the best the studio has produced.
