NGL Starfield gonna be crap because of Bethesda, like Diablo 4 is crap because Blizzard.
The crap part being over 1 million DLC and putting non refundable instant purchase buttons above the login button or whatever.
Bethesda went down the gutter since they started adding stuff like horse armour DLC to Oblivion, tiny meaningless stuff that should have simply been a part of the game anyway.
In general, review sites won't care about things like that , and will still rate it 20 shiny gold stars or whatever.
Skyrim wasn't even all that good, 1000x easier than BG3 or even Morrowind even on the hardest difficulty, no more custom spells, no more mark / recall, just fast travel everywhere.
Well yea BG3 has fast travel too, but then BG2 did as well but at least it said 'Journey took 16 hours' and fatigued you, or you got waylaid by enemies and must defend yourself.
Nowadays just click on portal on map and instantly go there, sigh.
