Honestly, I was surprised to hear that the game forces fast travel. I mean, a small indie company like Hello Games managed to make a procedurally generated universe where you can hop in your ship, fly off the planet, and either cruise through the galaxy or turn on warp speed and leave it all behind. Hell, you can even do it all in VR.
Yet, somehow, Bethesda made a space exploration game that doesn't really let you explore space.
Of course, this is only what I've heard about it. I've been way too busy playing Baldur's Gate 3 to play anything else. But my hype for eventually playing Starfield has dwindled to a solid "meh". Maybe I'll play it sometime when I don't have anything better to do.
