While Baldur's Gate 3 is being widely celebrated by fans and developers alike, some are panicking that this could set new expectations from fans. Good.

That's just part of the mismanagement.

What worries me is that one of the leakers who was leaking shit about Redfall prior to release who was 100% correct about everything, also said he saw Starfield and it was in worse shape than Redfall was. It's obviously coming out later, but not that much later.

Starfield is a Bethesda game proper and it's wise to have appropriate expectations. :)

I forget, on launch wasn't Fallout COMPLETELY broken for Nvidia cards? Or was it AMD? I can't remember, it was one or the other...

While true, the state of Redfall was far worse than the expectation for a mainline Bethesda RPG (comparatively), even as bad as they have been in the past. So saying Starfield was in worse shape still has some hefty weight to it, if the leak is true. It will have at least had more time in the oven for things to be fixed up a bit more in line with normal expectations. And that's my hope.

Plus, Microsoft needs a win, especially after Redfall. They need this one to be hit outside the park.

That’s upsetting. I was never going to play Starfield, but I want games coming out to be good. We don’t need another dumpster fire like the CP2077 launch was.
