"During the latest episode of XNC Podcast, host Colt Eastwood mentioned that he’s heard from a channel of people, who have presumably been play testing Starfield, that Bethesda’s forthcoming action RPG is bigger and more ambitious than what was previously expected.

According to Eastwood’s sources, Starfield is bigger than anything seen in Skyrim and Fallout. It takes everything the studio did with these two games and considerably expands upon. He claims to have spoken to a channel of play testers who have been closely involved with the game, and he’s been hearing great things about it. Based on what he’s heard, Bethesda has “nailed” the sense of scale.

Eastwood said that he doesn’t intend on overselling Starfield to fans, but all he’s been hearing are positive impressions from the people he’s spoken to, some of whom he claimed were pessimistic about the game."

Interesting but aren't play testers testing out every aspect of the game during development? It's odd that they wouldn't be aware of the scope and size of the game.

Saying that Starfield is bigger than anything seen in Skyrim and Fallout is kinda like saying Americans are quite fond of guns...no shit. Starfield has a whole ass galaxy to explore. 

I think he means overall scale probably, not just map size. More companions, more perks, more weapons, more armor pieces, a much larger and more detailed base construction system than the Fallout 4 one, more hours of content, more quests, etc. We already know the script is bigger than Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Fallout 3 combined, at 252k lines, compared to 111k for Fallout 4, 47k for Skyrim, and 40k for Fallout 3.
