Is Starfield (only recently saw an announcement from Bethesda about this) going to bite into the massive-universe and do-all-the-things market?

I played Elite (the original) on the C64, and loved it. I've been 'meaning to play ED for years' - but still haven't. I bought No Man's Sky, was disappointed, as were many, at the time, but about a year ago started playing again - got excited (again) and then lost interest due to the heavy time commitment required to do anything useful.

I suspect games like Red Dead Redemption II would be a similar time-sink without an awful lot of ersatz (in-game) accomplishments. I'm tempted, but wary.




RDR2 is, overall, a more enjoyable game because you can dip in and out of it; with Elite, No Man's Sky, etc you're pretty much expected to play it for a lot of time with little happening in the meanwhile (with more stuff happening in NMS in the same amount of time).


apparently starfield been described as elder scrolls in space by the big man himself.
