1st person, always have with Bethesda games like TES or Fallout, i want the action etc right in my face, i also turn the music off as well, there was an invisible band in Skyrim following me around and warning me when an enemy was near, kinda cheating.

I'm playing Fallout 4 and I like to mix it up. When I'm traversing open world (survival mode - no fast travel) I like to be in 3rd person from time to time but as soon as I get in tight areas / indoors I switch to first person.

It’s a Bethesda RPG.
It’s a new IP.
I love scifi.
500+ hours in No Man’s Sky and seeing Starfield do many similar things makes me super excited. It’s like a AAA No Man’s Sky RPG.
Having a ship and a crew and being able to build and change a ship and the interior seems like tons of fun.
Exploring the planets.
Mods.

Not gonna happen in Starfield. These are generated areas, but how big they are??? The planets you see are just backdrops and not real bodies. It’s not like Star Citizen were you can land manually on every planet, fly in orbit, go from one side to the other side of the planet/moon. Every action in Starfield like quantum travel, landing or exiting atmosphere are just cutscenes.

That's a bit lame. I'm still hyped, just a little less hyped after reading that.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
The planets / moons you can land on will be fairly sizable, not 1 : 1 earth sizable but you know.

Knowing myself, I don’t think I’ll be able to stick to either first person or third person, whether on the ground or piloting the spaceship.

From what I've heard, I reckon stealing enemy ships will be fun.
Either from on the surface and boarding it like they explained as it takes off... Or while in space, docking the enemy ship.
Or just blowing them up from within.... hopefully there's something like C4 with countdown timers. Would be awesome to dock it in space, set a C4 charge for 30 seconds and GTFO.

Yeah they love the modding community, Todd hinted in an interview after the first Starfield unveil that the new Creation Engine was made with modding in mind and they thought the community would love the possibilities there. It’s gonna be awesome!

Hoping the craft system is strong, I think that’s critical to ensuring the game reaches its potential since it’s the glue that ties all the other systems together

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Exploring or more specifically exploring bizarre alien ruins from long gone civilizations which I imagine will show up in the game considering what they hinted at.
It's the exploration and the main story which interests me the most.
I probably won't get into the political side so much. Space politics can be fun but I'm more enjoy the weirder stuff that comes with space opera.
I have a feeling the end game is going to be very interesting.

How bit they are? Big enough. We don't know the exact scale but there's nothing stopping them from making planets 1:1 size with the real thing. You can land anywhere on any planet by picking a landing spot:
Landing / taking off is a cut scene. Based on your landing spot pick, the game will generate landscape around you and populate it with hand crafted content. Abandoned mine here, cave over there, research station over the mountain etc. For an RPG set in space I think it's a good compromise.

Mostly modding. I easily spent a couple thousand hours just modding Fallout 4.
Space ship stuff has me drooling. Either someone is going to mod in the Millennium Falcon somehow or I’ll try to figure it out and do it myself.
I’m also excited for the base building. In Fallout 4 I ran a mod that let me build anywhere and I used it to rebuild several locations in the game and had self-run towns all over the map.

Glad to hear that each planet is not only huge, but the content on each one is hand crafted rather than randomly generated.
Sounds like each planet will at least be it's own Skyrim/FO4 map.
The hype rises!

It's Bethesda. It's either the jank. Or some crazy mod that will use the engine to create something like "The Forgotten City".

I'm genuinely excited to see what level of disaster it's going to be on the Series S. If it was working Phil would be shouting it from the rooftops and there'd be a whole bunch of vids with XBOX SERIES S FOOTAGE stamped all over them. When a company like Bethesda which has a decades long history of lying and deceiving it's customers decides to come out and warn people about the 30fps limit on consoles, you can take it to the bank there's a Cyberpunk level of disaster incoming.

Everything really, but the one thing I keep thinking about is. Walking about inside my ship.
I never played SC, so I have always wanted to be able to walk about and see stuff inside my ships.
Then it’s building my ship, hoping it’s not going to be to grindy to be able to build a cool looking ship.
I hope space exploration is good, as NMS and ED was a bit meh, but won’t know till release. (It looks good and the lighting looks damn good in space also)

Exploration of worlds.
I loved so much exploration of planets with Mako in Mass Effect 1, and was disappointed they removed it for a stupid "probe launch" mini boring games.
I really hope that exploration in Starfield will bring me back this feeling of discovery of uncharted planets.

Not so fast.. What they wrote about the planets is actually not correct. I have no idea why people do that (well, I actually have a few theories..)..
But anyway, the fact is that planets in Starfield which are a part of the game's bespoke universe are procedural and planet sized. And you can land anywhere, walk anywhere (aside of gas planets of course..). They are not "just backdrops", and that was something the developer specifically pointed out.
In addition local handcrafted content of various degrees is embedded at different geolocations.

Getting more excited about this the more I think about it. Going to buy the premium upgrade to support.
I'm excited for things that we maybe don't know about yet. Hoping for a revamped galaxy news radio... Also the potential is huge outside of what they've shown - if they get the space combat right, we could be playing the spiritual successor to Wing Commander. If they add in a reputation system the spiritual successor to Elite. I hope they support this for many years to come and really build out a universe with real freedom outside of the story (which I also expect to be great), but also regular new story content.

Pretty much this. The concept of No Man’s Sky is appealing, but the lack of fun things to do make it hard to stay invested. Bethesda RPGs have always delivered immersive worlds that you lose yourself in and it’s going to be a perfect pairing.

It's not false, these planets you see in space have no "content" in the first place. These will be generated the moment you set a landing target, it's completely different from Star Citizen were you can have full control over your ship from quatum travel, manually landing on everything you see. It's a compromise you get in Starfield because they do not have the same tech and that's fine, but we also don't know if it's even possible what hey asked (walk a year around a planet). I'm not sure that's even possible in Starfield since you can't use your ship on planets, do not have rovers and they might not generate that amount of areas around you.
But that's maybe something they still need to explain more before launch.
