How exactly do wild west frontier towns on alien planets fit into Starfield's 'NASApunk' aesthetic?
I'm no enemy of weirdness—I love my games to get goofy, and especially in a big open world it's great to have all sorts of strangeness to discover. But here it's completely at odds with the tone that's being established.
The legacy of Fallout is clear, here. The apocalyptic wastelands of those games are a free-for-all—you never know whether round the next corner you're going to find a ghoul turning into a tree, a sword that sets people on fire, or a vault full of clones. But that goofiness, that wild shifting of tone, has always been Fallout's vibe. It works because those games are set in a bizarre retro-future universe inspired by sci-fi b-movies, not a realistic interpretation of a post-nuclear world.
