You’ll probably find that a lot of planets in Starfield are pretty boring, but Bethesda says that’s kind of the point.

    Naw man you’re being needlessly abrasive and theyre right to call you out on it. No need to take people in bad faith and call them shills or act like someone having a different opinion than you is CRAZY!

      People seem sensitive here.
      Getting their panties in a bunch because I asked myself if I was insane.
      Never heard of that before.

        People aren’t annoyed at you for asking if you’re insane, they’re annoyed at you because you apparently don’t know that it’s possible to do that without insulting everyone who disagrees with you.

          Why did you think that was an insult?
          Well, I guess everything can be insulting you try hard enough.

            Protip, if you ask someone a question, and then follow that up with “Or am I insane?”. You’re heavily implying that they in fact are the ones who are insane.

            Maybe you legitimately didn’t know that. In case you didn’t, now you know.

            Seriously? On the very slim chance you’re actually just this clueless about polite communication,

            Did they pay you to write this? Are you forcing yourself to enjoy the game because you paid so much? Or am I insane?

            It’s not the third line of that that people object to, it’s what is implied by the entire statement. We assume you don’t consider yourself insane, because that’s obviously hyperbole, which means you do seem to think that anyone who disagrees with you is either a shill or stuck in a sunk cost fallacy.

            Consider the alternate phrasing of that entire statement, eg. “I’m just not seeing it. Am I insane or something?” And then the rest of your post. Nobody would be nearly so irritated with you in that context.

              Alright. In text maybe you are right.
              Im a firm believer that if we like, sat in a bar discussing over a beer, and you could hear the tone of my voice and read my face, no-one would be offended.

                Probably, but this isn’t a bar and your face and tone aren’t visible, your meaning can only be judged by the letter of what you wrote.
