    Gave the kickstarter page a read and well… it sounds like it’s going to be similar to Starfield - vast but shallow. Unless they put in the effort to go around after all the procedural stuff for each of the “thousands of towns” and introduce bits to eliminate the cookie-cutter experience.

    Genuinely hope it turns into something great, but it’s current competition points towards trends that don’t bode well unless this developer is willing to take risks.

      There are potential pitfalls with procedural generation, and Starfield definitely did it poorly, but as a fan of TES since Daggerfall I’m happy to get behind this. I’m sure it’s possible to make proc-gen work well and I’m hopeful they’ll manage it. Only time will tell I guess.
