Honestly mate? Not at all. I'm concerned about Starfield because of Bethesda's track record since Fallout 4, and in particular, their constant attempts to introduce paid 'mods' to their games through the creation club (which are always overpriced for tiny amounts of content) as well as how broken their games have been at launch since Morrowind. When my PC, which can run Baldur's Gate 3 on max settings, can't run Oblivion without mods without regular crashes, then there's a big problem.

I want Starfield to be good. But Bethesda do not make good games. They make broad games, but there's no depth, and what is there is fairly consistently buggy. They have the Pokemon problem though, where people are willing to give them a pass because of the big name. I guarantee you, if a smaller developer released games in the state that Bethesda does, their games would be (rightfully) panned.
