Bethesda Designer Criticizes Starfield's Size
Bethesda's Starfield has been criticized for its large size, with one designer suggesting that the game's many planets and procedurally generated content may have contributed to its disappointing reception. In a recent interview, Nate Perky Pile, a former environment artist on Starfield, expressed his reservations about the game's design, drawing parallels to Mass Effect 1. He suggested that a more focused approach, with fewer planets and bespoke layouts, may have been a better approach.
