OMG! STARFIELD is taking over my life!

General
STARFIELD is freaking amazing!
I was expecting it to be over-hyped and under delivered, or a massive letdown like CYBERPUNK 2077 was... But holy crap! It is so much more than I even thought.
Sure there are a few nit-picky things, but bug wise it barely has any other than the rare non game breaking kind... And I mean rare. I think people sleeping funny, and the occasional random object in some tightly packed area having a physics-freakout is about all I have noticed... And once in over 60 hours of gameplay my ship vanished, but I just had to fast travel and it was back.
This game continuiosly gets better as I play it... I have had random side missions end up turning into some epic story arc that felt like end game content in any other game just to be a side quest in this one!
It has all kinds of little references from Star Trek, Star Wars, The 5th Element, Bladerunner, Battlestar Galactica... This game is a Science Ficton RPG lover's nerdgasm.
I've managed to get 70 hours into the game and have still only done 4 main missions. I have not played a video game this all-encompassing in ages.
The Scope is immense, and with some polishing and future support, let alone mods, this game is going to be genre defining.
I love the retro-futuristic "NASA-punk" style, you have super advanced spaceships that are modular and can fold space (yes you can customize your ships and have your very own space Winnebago with wings), while consoles and computers with blinky lights and buttons and the sound of old mechanical harddrives and such is everywhere.
I was expecting a bugfest that would need years of modders fixing only to play the game without a single crash and keep forgetting it is a Bethesda game from how amazingly good it looks, and the amazing amount of good writing, voice acting, gameplay/gunplay, having options to be a good guy, bad guy, puckish rogue, corporate whore, diplomat, pirate, or murder hobo.
I still have not built an outpost or even been to the 4th main city! I keep getting side-tracked by the mountains of well written side-quests. *chuckles*
Man, I really needed this with how crappy the real world has become in the last few years.
I have not had this much fun, or been this immersed in a game in quite a while. ^_^

FA+

They are also butthurt it isn't on Sony's exclusive console, or because people who got a discounted version early or paid extra are getting to play it now. I managed to get a premium copy for less than the price of the normal copy when it first showed up on Green Man Gaming for over 30% off. ^_^
I honestly feel like I should stuff an envelope with money and send it off to Bethsoft Studios because I feel like I ripped them off at this point. *chuckles*
