Gaming News “The game is boring”: Even Skyrim multimod modders abandon Starfield
Starfield launched on September 6th and has been played by more than 20 million players. As Bethesda’s first new license in a quarter century, Starfield takes us on a space journey and introduces us to a colonized galaxy full of threats. However, not all modders seem to be celebrating.
Starfield divides critics, gamers and even modders
Bethesda and modders, it’s a long story. We can no longer count the number of mods or derivative games created using the tools offered by the studios. Fallout 4, like Skyrim, was entitled to its diverse and varied mods, and we are waiting for the creative tools for Starfield in 2024. Released just before the fall, the title changes its scale to offer us a galactic adventure that takes us from planet to planet and from moon to moon. There are hundreds of them to explore, and as always we find a main quest as a common thread, Advanced faction questsand a whole series of more or less sophisticated side quests.
We already know that new means of transportation (hello land vehicles) are planned, namely Updates are provided every six weeks to improve and enrich an experience that has previously been divisive. Some have delved into the quests and the universe, others criticize that the space passages are too limited, Planets too often without interest, bugs and a staging with absent subscribers. As usual, your assessment will depend on what you’re looking for. On the other hand, and this is completely unprecedented, A part of the modding community seems to be very angry against Starfield and Bethesda.

Unfortunately for the waiting players Starfield Together will not see releaser, at least not at the moment. After porting 70% of the Skyrim Together code, Cosideci announced that he stopped thereconsidering that the game “damn shit“.
I didn’t realize it until I started playing the damn game a week after its release. The game is boring, boring and the main appeal of Bethesda games, namely exploring a living, hand-crafted world, is completely gone. (…) Apart from that, I will not continue the development of Starfield Together. I’m not going to put my heart and soul into a mod for a mediocre game like this.
Very harsh words, but they still seem to resonate with a whole group of modders and players. The initial reaction posted under IGN’s specific tweet suggests that the modders “I’m really tired of fixing Bethesda games“. However, aware that the title could also appeal to players or modders other than him, Cosidesi announced that it would open source 70% of the code it had already created. This way, a developer who is confident in the game’s qualities can finish the job.
However, it’s still a bit early to say that Starfield is already dead. First, The studio has a whole sequel plannedenriched with additional content and on the other hand Many modders appreciate the title and are waiting for the creative tools It remains to be seen how these will be received by Bethesda, which recently reintroduced the ability to monetize mods in Skyrim.
