hey we never know what the future holds, starfield may be something like the first big game to take advantage of procedural generation for future games that do it better with even more powerful tech. or its like daggerfall again lol

The problem is that daggerfall was impressive at the time, but now that everyone else learned how to do its one trick and modify it, its become less impressive in hindsight.

Starfield didnt do anything impressive. Nothing its done is new. Even its praise is just "well its fallout in space." So without breaking ground and boundaries, it cant play the same tune daggerfall did.
