Highlights

  • Bethesda games like Oblivion and Skyrim were praised for their immersive NPCs that followed daily routines and engaged in conversations, making the game world feel alive.
  • In Starfield, the NPCs seem less immersive, with less interaction and repetitive behaviors, such as looking at their phones or wandering around without purpose.
  • Despite the lack of immersive NPCs, Starfield emphasizes that the player is the star of the game and doesn't necessarily require NPCs to drive the gameplay experience.
