When it comes to Bethesda titles, there are a few things you can expect. The first is you can expect a grand-scale title full of things to do. After all, they like having big worlds, realms, or, more recently, universes to explore. The second is that you can expect things to not go perfectly at launch and for there to be some hilarious bugs that missed the developers’ gaze. We still remember the backward-flying dragon in Skyrim. Then, naturally, there will be plenty of mods to help improve the games, which is what we’re talking about with Starfield right now.
