Starfield: Doomed from the Beginning?

Once more, I delve into the Midfield to buy myself enough time to make a better video next week. I just realized I talk too fast, I should try slowing down a little.

Here’s links to the mods I used/mentioned in this video:

Music tracks used, in order: Starfield - Akila City, Starfield - Tenacity of Life, Starfield - Snowball, Starfield - Deep Freeze, Oblivion - Peace of Akatosh, Skyrim - Ancient Stones

The game at 2:01 is Minecraft (with Complementary Reimagined shaders and the Distant Horizons mod), at 2:39 is Grand Theft Auto 5 (I doubt anyone needed help noticing that), at 10:48 is Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy, and at 11:40 is Car & Driver (there are a few good MS-DOS games, this isn't one of them).
