Fanfic? They're basic, verifiable facts buddy. Do you not know that Fallout 76, Fallout 4, Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind exist?

Looking forward to playing the role of space explorer or criminal or whatever other direction my story takes. Just looking forward to the setting since I've never been that big of a fan of the medieval settings Bethesda generally goes with.
Space nerds everywhere will be lined for this one.

I don't get it. Are you saying there's not going to be any hand crafted content (f.ex. moon bases, artifacts etc) on any moon or planet in Starfield's universe seen from another moon or planet? Because that conclusion is not logical. There are no big technical challenges in this either, which makes the conclusion even more puzzling.
?
Not completely different, but partially true considering planet space transitions.
You don't know. But for some reason you concluded it isn't possible. Technically, procedural generation is "easy", there's no logic in not making the whole planet procedurally discoverable, because there are basically no downsides, basically no processing nor storage challenges that comes with it.
Ships I can understand since this is the Creation engine, but no rovers have not been confirmed.
"Might not generate that amount of areas around you".. What does that even mean.
Disclaimer; I can sometimes seem a bit harsh in my posts, but I mean you no offense. I agree that there are holes that hopefully will be filled by BGS at some point, but I just disagree with your conclusions right now.
I also have Star Citizen installed on my PC btw, been an original backer since the start (you could say since Wing Commander). What CIG are doing with their 64 bit universe is unparalleled in the industry, it's a shame that most people don't understand how amazing the technology in SC is.

You already answered your own "question". Because everything is a cutscene in Starfield. The cutscene is the moment space or the area you land is getting generated. The handcrafted places will then placed by procedural tech. It's not like Star Citizen were you can see Hurston from space zoom into the planets atmosphere and see someone flying in the far distance or some big explotion. The planet bodies in Starfield have no real information beforehand.
Like i said, Bethesda still needs to explain some of it, but it won't be like CIG's 64 bit planet tech. And to be clear that's fine but if people expect the same thing then they will be disappointed.
I think you've already seen this but makes some things maybe clear:

I have a feeling modders will mod some form of multiplayer into. That would excite me.

Uh huh. And is there any precedent of him doing exactly that, or is this something you came up with on your own?

I will bet some amount of money that there will be at least one Tamriel homage planet or two in the galaxy.

Yummy!Space exploration and sandwiches.
About the odd sandwich collection the dev talked about…
I wonder if it’s possible to have a shelf in the house and place a sign infront of things. I’d love to have a Predator-like skull throphy collection, alien skulls, one from each planet, and write the name of the actual planet infront of each skull.

Some great shots there. They put some effort into making the materials look different across the locations.

No one realistically expects 1000 hand crafted planets but here's hoping that the procedural generation tech at least is smart enough to try and not layer the same kind of textures/materials all over and varies it.

Fixed.
Also, mods for space leotards. I need Major Kusanagi in space like in my modded FO4.

Don't forget face/hair replacements. I am a bit scared on what will be on Nexus in a month or two post release.

All the walking and talking to NPC’s…

Biggest thing for me is that I hope there is good variety to the eyes between planets, moons. I expect some planets/moons to be very similar looking across their surface (point A on planet X looks a lot like point B and C also on planet X) as that is how a lot of space rocks really are. What they've shown looks great so far.

It's a surreal thing to revisit this amazing "Making of Oblivion" documentary on the eve of Starfield's release.

First it's a true Role Playing Game with great production values, which is something we don't get too often. Second, I'm an amateur astronomer with 3 telescopes. My first was basically an expensive toy, my second is a big boy with a 10" aperture and comes up to my shoulders, and my third was a midsize Frankenstein that I built from thrifting others junk for easy transporting. Space is kind of my fascination, so any game that promises to allow me to explore it, is my jam.

The game isn't even out yet and the community is already in full effect, along with the lore bible someone made a while back on Reddit, here's a nearly 2 hour breakdown of the games play mechanics.

From the sounds of it BGS took everything people loved about Sim Settlements, and the various Live Another Life mods, and just wrote them into the game from the start. I'm getting a feeling that certain background choices will straight-up alter the location you start at.

Oh my god, AK's in space lol.
If this leaked image is accurate, looks like Starfield will also have AK 47s (and be able to fast travel directly to mission locations).

After an amazing 6 month start to the year I'm ready for a universe to get lost in.
That magical plodding discovery that only Bethesda games can deliver.
I'm ready for it to be my only game for a while and spending like 250 plus hours in it.

I expect side quests to have interesting scenarios. Expecting main quest to be about same quality as bigger side quests. Going by my recent Skyrim playthrough.

I just remembered the other thing I am looking forward to, the threads saying Starfield is garbage and that nobody wants to play it anyway, why bother when you can pick up No Man's Sky for $15.

I want a space Dark Brotherhood.

Or a Thieves Guild (space pirates!)
I just wonder (if there’s a dark brotherhood) , how will they notify you? Someone land on a planet you’re on, hands you a note, then runs back to their ship and flys away? lol

Oh shit, I wonder if that’s a thing.
Side note, this game seems like the most Star Trek game, without being a Star Trek game.

I'm pumped to just get lost in it all, like I always do with Bethesda games. I'm sure it'll drink my life away like they always do, and when I break the game by storing too much stuff, I'll start a new character like always and tell myself not to hoard anything or try to break the game, then I'll do it anyway because I'm OCD, and then the cycle continues.

You come out of your space pod and there's a sticky note attached to its door.
