Out of curiosity, have you played BG3 ? It seems that most people who don't like the game are coming to starfield right from BG3 and those who do have not played it. BG3 is now just the bar that AAA story telling is held to and anyone who has experienced it is having a hard time with the story of other games.

Not gonna lie, I’m not a huge fan of turn based combat anymore. I feel like I’ve been burnt out after playing Pokémon for over 20 years.

I'm not a fan of turn based games either, but BG3 is an excellent game and worth a shot.

I'm playing Baldurs Gate 3 with friends and Starfield singleplayer. And I am enjoying both.

They aren't the same game, even though they both rely on story and some aspects of the game are the same (like coming up with your own character and wanting to see how the story affects them)
