Warning: Spoilers for Starfield lie ahead.
Ok, you’ve gotten past the headline, here we go.
So, at a recent GDC talk, former Starfield lead quest designer Will Shen has discussed how the game’s final quest came together, with the answer being in fashion that was a bit last minute. That’s far from ideal, but as Shen alluded to in the talk, it is unfortunately a symptom of the kind of challenge a game as big as Starfield currently represents for a lot of studios.
