I imagine Bethesda is assuming -- relying on, even -- modders to fill the vast empty spaces with content. Unfortunately we will have to wait until after all the new guns and nude skins are finished first...I've been playing Starfield for several days straight, but I'll probably go back to BG3 shortly. Starfield is, basically, just another Skyrim or Fallout 4, but with effectively infinite maps of wilderness and copy/paste dungeons to get lost in if you want to.
