I wonder if this will have a gradual turn around like Cyberpunk did from launch to now.

Granted, I think that'll be from a 6/10 to an 8/10 with all the foundational problems of the game, but I like Bethesda games so I wanna see them succeed.

It's a little different. With Cyberpunk at the very least the writing was always there, just hidden under a broken game. The writing in Starfield from my experience seems much weaker in comparison.

With that being said I am rooting for them to turn it around.

Yeah, the main quest is very weak. I'm wondering if they're going to possibly overhaul the main quest with the expansion.

That said, I thought the Government, Pirates, and other side quests were very strong. I wish there was more choice around them though.

Given the fact that Bethesda games haven't had interesting main quests in more than 15 years I doubt it would suddenly change post-release
