Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' (www.pcgamer.com)

I am a huge BGS and "game cinema" fan, and Starfield felt so... boring. Both the first bit I played before I dropped it, and YT videos to see what I was missing.

For lack of another explanation, its like all those fun side quests and nooks individual writers went crazy making lost their spark. Even ME Andromeda had more compelling bits.

So I can see modders shying away. Why put all that work into something one has no desire to replay, especially with the alternatives we have these days.

You would have to basically make a whole game and rewrite characters and quests to make it better. But that's a lot of work for modders especially when they're not that interested in the game to start with.

This video manages to say everything there is to say about the game in under two minutes 😅
