    Starfield is on sale now too.

    I mean, it's sale price is still what I would have considered full
    price just a few years ago, and given the reviews of the game I don't
    think it's worth even that. But I was briefly tempted to get it. I
    figure eventually Starfield will enter my library, but the price is
    going to have to come down quite a bit before I really consider buying
    it. The fact that so much of the game is procedurally generated is
    really a turn-off for me. I don't want empty content; I want hand-made
    stuff. You'd have though Bethesda would have learned this lesson after Oblivion. The handcrafted dungeons/maps in Skyrim are a big reason
    that game was so much more popular than its predecessor.

    I can't say that a Star Wars mod would be enough to make me want to
    play it either. As much as I adore the franchise, I never really found
    Star Wars role-playing all that much fun. Action games? Hell yeah.
    Strategy games? Why not. Space-sims? I'm there. But role-playing games
    set in the Star Wars universe were always some of the least
    interesting to me, at least mechanically. They just never felt "Star
    Wars-y" to me.

    Interesting. I joined their Discord server. It looks like it's in its
    infancy, so followthrough is not guaranteed.

    I remember there was a complete Babylon V conversion for Freespace 2 that
    had promise, but eventually faded away.

    Anyway, it's something to stay on top of. It could be the next Fallout:
    London for all we know.

    Thanks for the heads up!

    I was a little too excited by this. After some further digging it seems
    it's mostly visual, names and appearances changed. Otherwise all the
    missions etc. are the same.
