Maryland – Recent reports confirm Bethesda Softworks has begun recommending bored Starfield players look into the game’s compelling medieval prequel, popularly known as Skyrim.
“I love that our game’s players want to branch out and explore such a variety of worlds,” noted game director Todd Howard. “It’s incredible that they’ve explored what Starfield has to offer and continue to look for more. In fact, I applaud it, and for gamers who’ve visited each of Starfield’s 1,000 unique planets I’m pleased to offer a great way to continue the story—a game we’re calling The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.”
“See that mountain over there?” Continued an enthusiastic Howard. “You can get pretty darn close to it if you don’t mind a little jogging,” Howard continued while demonstrating Starfield’s exploration. “In Skyrim, you can actually climb that mountain and then who knows, maybe you’ll discover a quest or rare piece of armor at its peak. The game is chock-full of little details like that thanks to years of thoughtful development.”
The fifth Elder Scrolls entry is said to contain thousands of unique items, dialogue options, and locations to explore. Developer Jonathan Hertz offered some exclusive insight into the production.
“This game is literally 12 years old, as in we released it 12 years ago on the fucking PS3 and 360. Special Edition, Anniversary Edition, Switch port, the VR release, I just put this thing on whatever they tell me to. I’m not supposed to talk much about the development cycle but I can tell you not one bug has been fixed in the last decade.”
Bethesda’s response to unimpressed Starfield players has fans split on whether they can trust another release from the RPG giant.
“So you’re telling me they’re going to make game with better exploration than Starfield? Sign me up!” Stated excited gamer Alex Beck. “I love the idea of getting to explore the medieval roots of mankind’s interstellar ambitions. Hopefully the devs can take what they learned making Starfield and apply it to Skyrim—I’m just hoping for a smooth experience and not too many bugs.”
In anticipation of potential Skyrim burnout, Bethesda is reportedly prepared to shuffle players toward an alternative Starfield universe without space travel, set in a post-nuclear apocalyptic American wasteland.
