Seven months after Shattered Space and on the watch for the next big update, Michael and Duane launch a new video episode to ask a simple question: just how far has Bethesda really come?
‑ We break down a CBR article arguing why #Starfield finally “feels less empty” in 2025.
‑ We geek out over two headline Creations—Darkstar (massive enemy‑scaling & ship‑tech overhaul) and TGS Galactic Harvest (deep farming, hunting, and cooking revamp).
‑ We trace #Bethesda ’s tech journey from #Oblivion ’s load‑door dungeons to Creation Engine 2’s global illumination, zero‑G physics, and near‑instant SSD streaming.
‑ We speculate on seamless planetary travel, AI‑assisted world‑building, and whether a future Starfield TV series—or even a #PlayStation port—needs a full “2.0” makeover to happen.If you’re curious about the game’s hidden technical flexes, must‑try mods, or what Creation Engine might hold for Elder Scrolls VI, this episode is your warp‑drive primer.
