Daggerfall is the prequel to Skyrim. I’d never played it until seeing it for free on Steam recently.

    Yeah fr. I think there are some ideas about game design that are a lot more fun to talk about than to play. Everyone complaining about how you can’t fly from planet to planet or walk from POI to POI on a planet surface in Starfield, like who in their right mind would want to actually do either of those things? (yes I know they’re about to release an update to add supercruising). People are weird. People will like “big” features in game that are not there to be used, but simply to be there so… they can tell other people that you can fly from planet to planet. But not ever actually try it themselves.

      Me, for starters, and many other people. Previous poster was just talking about how it’s better to be able to actually walk between towns (even if distances are unrealistic), instead of being forced to fast travel because it’s much more interesting and immersive, not sure how did you miss this point

        That’s the distinction I was trying to make. People are moaning about not being able to fly from planet A to planet B or walk from POI A to POI B at real scale and speed, prolonged treks across vast expanses of absolutely nothing
