Earlier, one of Bethesda's developers addressed Starfield's procedurally generated planets, saying that they are empty by design. According to a verified Steam user, "Bethesda_FalcoYamaoka", the planets were intentionally designed to be empty and evoke a feeling of being overwhelmed.
Additionally, the developer quoted Bethesda's Managing Director, Ashley Cheng, who had stirred controversy among fans back in September by likening Starfield's desolate spaces to the experiences of the first astronauts on the Moon.
