Eh... we need a serious overhaul to base building and NG+ (specifically, I think the reliance on resetting the universe to progress is fucking dumb).
These are what I await.
Land vehicles are just a haphazard stopgap fix for their incredibly poor design. Remember, Todd Howard was proud that the planets are impractically empty and big. He is proud of you having to spend 20 minutes to walk, with nothing at all in between, to destinations far away for no other reason than to scan the same anomaly you've seen 360 times before, or to encounger a PoI that you've explored 827 times before.
They forget that people like to walk and explore in Fallout, Oblivion, and Skyrim, only because the worlds are hand crafted, lush, and full of nooks and crannies full of interesting things.
Starfield is bland, empty, with only a handful of prefabbed locations that randomly spawn, that are the same down to the placement of debris every. single. time. you. encounter. them.
