Bethesda probably got a big shock with Starfield (although I’m assured it still made a lot of money). My hopeful guess is that more carefully crafted expansions/updates + community mods will make the game great in a few years with features that improve replayability like branching quests.

I would love to see like 3 or 4 main quests, like a choose your own adventure. Sounds like I am being very overoptimistic though.

Stop demanding replay ability and meaningful choice. You are ruining modern gaming!
Enjoy your radiant quests and feel satisfied fetching stuff and killing stuff endlessly.
… Seriously, there was a thing that bothered me about playing Space Invaders in the arcades and it was the fact that no matter how good you got the ending was always either your inevitable death or the fact that you just stopped playing.
This game felt so familiar.

My comment was bad and I feel bad. I know what I did.

No, seriously, you were bang on. That would have been brilliant. Meaningful choice and agency would have made that game great.
You did good. I just wish Bethesda employed you. Even on a casual basis.
