I regret to inform you that it is more soulless and empty and sloppily made than Fallout 4. You can repeatedly run into the same points of interest that have the exact same enemies, the exact same diary entries, and the exact same set dressing.
My favorite example is the racetrack some raiders have set up for robots you find in Fallout 4 where the only option you have is to kill everyone there. You can't enter your own robot into the race, bet on the robots, or anything like that. The only way to interact with this marginally interesting thing is to destroy it utterly.
I am certain Starfield has nothing even remotely that clever
I loath 'Raiders' and 'Bandits'. Who are these people, and why are there so many of them?
Very different than, say, New Vegas where all the enemies that fill the "Raider" or "Bandit" niche are named factions with actual reasons for existing and histories that make sense. Legion, Vipers, Jackals, Khans, Fiends, Powder Gangers, and so on, and each of them has their own aesthetic and gameplay touches.
Well sure, I guess 90% of the enemies could just be random jet/psycho addicts wearing scrap metal who rush your power armored ass with a pool cue while yelling "Kickass!". That's fine too I guess...
