Veteran Bethesda Artist on Starfield Having 1,000+ Planets: 'I Don't Think This is a Good idea' - News/ 1,201 Viewsby, posted 1 day agoFormer Bethesda Game Studios veteran environmental artist Nathan Purkeypile in an interview with The Examined Game said the decision for Starfield to have over 1,000 planets was the wrong move to have made. So, even early on, I was drawing parallels to Mass Effect 1 and how those procedural planets with repeated dungeons played out. And I was like, ‘'I don’t think this is a good idea.' Purkeypile at Bethesda was also the world artist on Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, as well as the lead artist on Fallout 76 and Fallout 3 expansions The Pitt and Point Lookout. He has expanded his involvement in the gaming community by producing content on his own YouTube channel and Twitch channel.
