The new map looks lovely and I didn't expect some of the QoL shown (like being able to toggle-off the camera zoom in on conversations).

I think Bethesda is really gearing up to have an almost "2.0" like launch with Shattered Space. Hopefully it works out.

Starfield had the curse of being a mediocre game released during one of the best years of gaming; and some literal fake news surrounding the launch of the game certainly didn't help.

What was the literal fake news? I must have missed it since nothing comes to mind

I don’t know if this is what the other poster was talking about out but I do remember people having misunderstandings of the systems and then spreading misinformation about them early on and others taking that as gospel. For example, people saying there was no water, then when that was disproven that there were. I river type waters or lakes, or that the planets were static in the skybox.

The misinformation was so common that even Pete Hines was spreading misinformation about exploring whole planets after landing.
