Simple as. I went back and replayed Vanilla Skyrim this year, and let me be the first to tell you that Starfield is legitimately a better game when it comes to roleplaying, choices, and quest design. Skyrim has a far more interactive and immersive world design, but to me that falls flat when the game is so fucking boring to interact with (hot take, I know).
Mods fix all of those problems with Skyrim, and that’s what people are playing now.
Skyrim is 13 years old and has many more players. It says “Starfield was not a return to form for Bethesda.”
Vanilla Skyrim < Vanilla Starfield
Modded Skyrim >>> Vanilla Starfield
