    relatively little to no content

    It has about as much handcrafted content as Skyrim if you count all settlements, crafted-quests, dungeons, etc. Just because it has a ton of procedural content with a ton more random missions than Skyrim doesn’t mean it has less handcrafted.

    I understand why some people say it feels like Starfield has little to no content because they swim (or fact travel) in an ocean of procedurally-generated stuff.

    For me, each playthrough I’m discovering at least a handful of big new things I missed the previous playthrough.

    To get to brass tacks, estimates have been showing Starfield has approximately 400-500 named quests. Skyrim vanilla has 274.

    So if you think it won’t last as long as Skyrim because you think nobody likes it, that’s defensible from the Mixed reviews. But it’s not due to lack of content but (arguably, because I like it) quality of content.
