Translated with AI from the Russian original.

David Gaider, a former BioWare developer responsible for the narrative in Dragon Age and Baldur's Gate, praised Bethesda's decision to include romance options with only four characters in Starfield, despite the game's massive world.

He expressed hope that this reflects a preference for quality over quantity. 

“I’d say that’s a good thing, and hopefully means a ‘quality over quantity’ approach, at least on the narrative side. Unless, of course, they’re bottomless AI-like romance scenarios.”

“I feel Bethesda is cautious about promising quality across every aspect of the game. But anyone who has played their games probably knows what to expect. We’ll see what they focus on. Their idea to focus on ‘all’ aspects of the game is risky.”

As a reminder, according to previous statements, despite the use of procedural generation for planetary landscapes in Starfield, the game features more handcrafted content than Skyrim and Fallout 4 combined. 

Starfield will be released on September 6, 2023, on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass.
