It certainly seems telling that everytime a news story about Starfield comes up, the picture with it is just a boring headshot of some normal looking person (or occasionally a pic of the ship builder). Bethesda's other games at least had distinct looks, some sense of art and aesthetic that gave them identity, even Oblivion's potato people.
It certainly is telling, but not for the reasons you think, I suspect. The game has plenty of glorious eye candy, but why highlight that when only negative media gets engagement?
