Unfortunately for all concerned, Tony Coles embarks on a marathon waffle about Bethesda's much-maligned open-worlder, Starfield.

With apologies to everyone, except Mr David Steer.


Timestamps (which could be wrong):


0:00:00 - Intro and initial overview waffle

1:00:00 - Interstitial placeholder vibes followed by conceptual inconsistency as a brand virtue

1:22:00 - The games that lead me to Starfield, wild tangent spectacular

2:53:00 - Spaceships and houses: the Bethesda difference

3:35:40 - WEAPONS with an addendum for more WEAPONS

4:12:00 - Factions, stories, spoilers

There are no other notes other than listen to this amazing podcast with one of the genuine founders of CGI, James F Blinn:
