In Episode 52 of Starfield with Normal People, we’re back with a raw and honest take: the June showcase gave us nothing new, but we’re still here—still playing, still talking, still loving Starfield.

We dive into:

Why Game Informer’s return gives us joy

What’s keeping us in Starfield, even without fresh updates

Our favorite little things that still make the game special

Why the modding community and long-haul players keep it alive

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.
