I think expectations were just really high because it was in development for 7 years. It’s pretty clear it was made with some of the Fallout 4 bones though and that technology just advanced passed them in the time it took them to make it. The jump from Morrowind to Oblivion to Skyrim was pretty large in a lot of ways but its almost a Duke Nukem Forever situation except they wisely chose not to scrap the game 12 times to implement every new gimmick.
I think we were all expecting them to rebuild the engine sometime between fallout 4 and now instead of just duct tapping a flashlight (new lighting system) to it.
It’s such a bad engine the Phil Spencer came out and said every QA tester at Microsoft is working on Starfield:

is that because Microsoft doesn’t have QA anymore?
Consumer Windows is just an endless Early Access release now.
Well a lotta games are “in development”, doesn’t mean that they get developed in that time.
