  I read that the maps around the landing are big, and you don’t find the limits unless you are looking for them. TBF, most people complaining are probably the ones that will use fast travel all the time.

  IGN said 15 to 20 min walking in one direction from landing.

    Forbes suggested closer to 40. (not saying youre wrong, I literally just read that review)

      Yeah you know I heard that too somewhere, may have been Forbes. But I also wonder if maybe the difference is due to different sections of different planets being smaller or larger?

      Tiles are about the size of Skyrim, and you land in the middle of them. So, walk from Whiterun to Pale Pass or Forgotten Vale.

        Yeah that’s not bad at all really. I like the idea that you can walk around a planet more than I would actually like doing it. If there were vehicles that would be different though, so I guess I see why they didn’t include them. I played a Fallout mod with vehicles and they worked well, I’m pretty sure we will see Starfield vehicle mods.

  Essentially yes. Watched that Luke Stephens youtuber’s review and it looks like exploration is one of the meh aspects of the game. Apparently the game generates a new ~4km cell when you land and that is created from a seed based on a planet map. Proc-gen needs some work too, as it presumably gets very repetitive with identical assets repeating often.

    I had 2 identical Autonomous Dog Factories spawn next to each other on a planet with the same environmental storyline and logs. Thankfully, different items in the chests.
