I am not interested anymore, sorry… the indie scene makes much, much better games than whatever starfield is. It’s honestly a little heartbreaking because I am a longtime Morrowind fan but obviously the magic is gone
so like i have never played a bethesda game and came away liking it, and everyone has repeatedly told me to try morrowind. finally got around to installing it and holy shit dude those rose colored glasses are doing heavy ass lifting for that game’s reputation.
It’s possible. I replayed it recently and found it amazing. Granted I had installed a handful of mods for better prop/textures, as well as a water shader. But the atmosphere and worldbuilding are unmatched in subsequent TES games imho.
The indie scene isn’t anywhere close to competing with AAA despite how far it’s come. As someone who enjoys indie games, they scratch different itches.
No Man’s Sky doesn’t even work 😂 I’ve never been able to play more than 5mn, it crashes consistently. So I really couldn’t say. But please, do assume the best when asking.
To answer your question, my space game itch was scratched in recent years by… Astroneer, which blends nostress survival, terraforming and exploration. Very cool in co-op. My shooting & looting itch was scratched by Risk of Rain Returns (also space themed… mostly). Those are rather big and successful games, nothing obscure. I watch “Best Indie Games” on youtube to help make my picks.
If you are going to dissolve a Bethesda game into different particular genres, you can apply the same logic to Morrowind. I mentioned No Man’s Sky because it incorporates several of them and is so dominant most people just compare everything to it, shame you can’t run it. If you are just interested in space themed genres, Jump Ship is another good one, it includes both ship combat, exploration, resource management, and even has FPS, but lacks in the RPG department and focuses on roguelite mechanics and multiplayer.
I was wondering if you had something that was more akin to an RPG-multigenre alternative to Starfield as a recommendation, like The Outer Worlds with more space combat options, or if the updates for some other existing game franchise like Elite Dangerous, which had been experimenting with FPS, or perhaps Space Engineers, had also begun to compete in this regard. Or perhaps even something akin to what Cubic Odyssey seems to be.

Did you enjoy playing it ?
god no it looks like shit and barely even works. using openmw on manjaro linux. honestly it just feels like downgraded oblivion if anything.

Any good recommendations, or does “the indie scene makes much, much better games” just refer to No Man’s Sky again?

It is, but with some neurons involved as opposed to yours.
