Starfield is going to be enormous, not just in terms of its literal size but for RPG games as a genre. The next step for the Fallout and Skyrim formula that Bethesda - and others - have been perfecting now for decades, we can expect hundreds upon hundreds of quests, characters, customization options, and more. Starfield planets, however, will be somewhat sparsely populated, with only 10% of them supporting life, according to Todd Howard. Taken at face value, that might make Starfield sound a bit empty or lacking in 'content,' but there's more to videogames than just collecting, interacting with, and completing 'stuff' - ahead of the Starfield release date, the prospect of empty planets actually sounds like a good thing.
