A Starfield remake, of sorts, has been created in 48 hours, incorporating seamless travel between planets, something missing from the actual Bethesda RPG.

In what way? There are plenty other RPGs that I prefer over Bethesda games.

…and honestly, some of those are old school ones. I feel like there’s just some things always missing from Bethesda’s newer titles.

I’m not really talking about preferences. I’m asking more about the niche that games like Skyrim/Fallout/Starfield fill. If it is so simple to just make “Skyrim but better” or “Starfield but better” then where are all the games from other developers that are just that?

Or from another angle. Where is the Path of Exile for Skyrim?

Yup. People will always bring up some games like Witcher 3 as “better than Skyrim” and in terms of the roleplay elements within the story? Sure. Do the games have some similarities? Sure. They’re both open world RPGs in a medieval fantasy setting. But beyond that, the comparisons fall apart. Somebody just looking for any RPG experience might well prefer Witcher 3 over Skyrim, but somebody looking for another Skyrim experience is not gonna find it in Witcher 3. Same goes for comparisons for NMS and Starfield. Does NMS have seamless planetary flight and Starfield doesn’t? Absolutely. Can you scan plants and wildlife in both? Sure. But, again, beyond that the comparisons fall apart.
