I guess I'm one of the few Fallout/Skyrim fan that isn't excited at all about this game. The minute they said they would be using the same engine for Starfield I lost all interest. Elder Scrolls was their baby so the passion was there, the Fallout IP is just so whimsically interesting that it draws me regardless.

Bethesda making a generic space-exploration game is just so bland and uninteresting. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but from the stills and brief clips I saw; it's "Bethesda game with space paint" and that's all I can see.

And this is why I’m happy it’s on Game Pass day 1. I don’t have to spend a cent on it. So any enjoyment I get out of it is free lol

What are you even talking about? Starfield does not use the 'same' game engine as Fallout 4, and even if it did would you have the technical know how to explain why that would be a bad thing?

The same engine ? Of course not... It most likely serves as base, as it should, but there's no reason to think it is the exact same engine from Fallout. It can't be, since it's a different game with different systems... even just from the visuals you can easily tell it's modern. Why are you worried about this ?
