Nate Purkeypile, a designer celebrated for his contributions to memorable Bethesda environments such as Diamond City in Fallout 4 and Little Lamplight in Fallout 3, alongside Starfield’s distinctive Neon city, has recently shared his views on the scope of Bethesda’s expansive space RPG. Purkeypile, who spent a year working on Starfield before his departure from the studio, offered insights into the game’s overall design philosophy.

According to recent reports, Purkeypile expressed the opinion that the galaxy presented in Starfield might have been excessively large. He suggested an alternative approach, indicating a preference for a more curated experience featuring a limited selection of planets, each meticulously designed with unique, handcrafted layouts. This perspective highlights a focus on depth and distinctiveness for individual worlds, rather than the vast number of planets currently available for exploration in the game.

This report is based on recent commentary from PCGamer.
