Starfield's biggest issues can't be solved with patches, mods, or expansions

Woman standing with arms crossed.

This week Bethesda teased upcoming patches for Starfield that will add everything from "city maps, to mod support, to all new ways of travelling." That's great news, especially since a lot of the features they're planning to add come straight from community requests. 

But even when these patches arrive next year, is that really going to make me want to play more Starfield? If the new travel options are ground vehicles or alien mounts or speeder bikes, great—exploring planets slowly on foot is definitely a low point in Starfield, and I got pretty tired of trying to find my way through cities with no maps. But those are just a couple of pain points, not the biggest issues with Starfield by far.
