Whole lotta folks gonna hit #Starfield now, so my advice echos what you've seen elsewhere:

- Stick to the main plot until the Big Thing happens. The writing is kind of terrible up until that point (and still a bit after, but at least then it has narrative stakes).
- The early game just, kind of sucks. You'll struggle with inventory size, and figuring a bunch of shit out that isn't well explained.
- Contributing to that further is there's a bunch of really shitty side-quests seemingly clustered right at the beginning. There ARE better ones out there though!
- You'll likely like the game more as you get further in, but that took me uh, 20 hours?

(and also, that this is a VERY in-need-of-mods kinda game, so if you wanna wait? Yeah just wait, it'll be a much better experience in a year or two)
