The Elder Scrolls 6 is "still a long way off" according to Bethesda's Todd Howard, though its development is now an "everyday thing".

Any good recommendations, or does “the indie scene makes much, much better games” just refer to No Man’s Sky again?

No Man’s Sky doesn’t even work 😂 I’ve never been able to play more than 5mn, it crashes consistently. So I really couldn’t say. But please, do assume the best when asking.

To answer your question, my space game itch was scratched in recent years by… Astroneer, which blends nostress survival, terraforming and exploration. Very cool in co-op. My shooting & looting itch was scratched by Risk of Rain Returns (also space themed… mostly). Those are rather big and successful games, nothing obscure. I watch “Best Indie Games” on youtube to help make my picks.

If you are going to dissolve a Bethesda game into different particular genres, you can apply the same logic to Morrowind. I mentioned No Man’s Sky because it incorporates several of them and is so dominant most people just compare everything to it, shame you can’t run it. If you are just interested in space themed genres, Jump Ship is another good one, it includes both ship combat, exploration, resource management, and even has FPS, but lacks in the RPG department and focuses on roguelite mechanics and multiplayer.

I was wondering if you had something that was more akin to an RPG-multigenre alternative to Starfield as a recommendation, like The Outer Worlds with more space combat options, or if the updates for some other existing game franchise like Elite Dangerous, which had been experimenting with FPS, or perhaps Space Engineers, had also begun to compete in this regard. Or perhaps even something akin to what Cubic Odyssey seems to be.

I don’t think so… To be honest starfield didn’t strike me as much of an rpg, the main thing you did in that game was shoot. That was part of my disappointment. No, I don’t know of any “indie multi-genre Morrowind in space” unfortunately, that definitely sounds dope

It is, but with some neurons involved as opposed to yours.
