Starfield is quite a massive Bethesda game. Numerous loading screens stand in the way of world immersion.
daedelus82 decided to count the number of loading screens:
- Boarding a ship — loading screen
- Entering orbit — loading screen
- Selecting a jump destination on the ship — loading screen
- Instead of any travel animation, a black screen is shown and the ship materializes at the destination
- Selecting a landing spot — loading screen
- Entering a building — loading screen
- Passing through several rooms in a building — loading screen
Due to the abundance of loading screens in Starfield, there is no sense of a seamless world — every area feels very small. Even a single large building can be broken down into several pieces separated by loading screens.
