Another thing that excites me about Starfield's "early explorers/realistic take" is that in sequels we're going to be able to see humanities progress as they advance technologically and since they're still quite "modern" in terms of tech it could open up each sequel to showing off a lot of advancement in human tech, I'm already thinking to myself "Should Starfield 2 be set 50 years in the future or 100? What level of advancement do I want to see?"
Compare it to something like Halo or Mass Effect and both those series are way more advanced than Starfield in almost every single way (weapons, armour, AI, space travel, ships, humanities progress into the stars, etc). So in those series you almost feel like humanity is already close to its peak while Starfield humans I would assume are absolutely nowhere near and we're going to experience that growth through the stages.
I'm already thinking for Starfield 2 "What new things will humanity achieve?" I don't want Starfield 2 to make too massive of a jump and skip all over that, I actually want to see the progress for myself and experience it, each new entry adding a new wealth of technological goods and advancements. Something I didn't really ever feel with Halo or Mass Effect.
