In fact, there’s a significant similarity to what Obsidian created for 2019’s The Outer Worlds. There’s even a fair bit of Indiana Jones influence as it sends you on a treasure hunt to collect mysterious artifacts.

I wouldn’t call a lot of it especially distinctive – it’s a setting that’s reminiscent of The Expanse, Firefly, and Starship Troopers, full of references to every sci-fi movie from Aliens to Blade Runner, and of course Interstellar. It’s chock-full of backstory about wars between its three major factions, run-ins with mysterious space deathclaws called terrormorphs, pirates, and an immense amount more. I would expect no less: Bethesda has built out a sprawling universe with detailed lore in which humanity has left Earth behind and colonized the galaxy, but hasn’t made first contact with sentient aliens as of the 24th century. It’s a bit like Starfield’s own elaborate shipbuilder tool: even though you can slap a bunch of high-end parts together and it will technically fly, sometimes it’s just not the best fit. Even when it mostly righted the ship and I was loving the story, sidequests, and launching boarding parties on enemy ships, there were still too many problems that constantly popped up, forcing me to curb my excitement. Things never went too far off course while I was flying my rinkydink little ship around chasing down mysterious artifacts and war criminals with a damn fine crew of companions at my side, but man did Starfield make me work hard to get through that opening stretch. And yet, a dozen hours into Starfield, I was feeling lost in space. I loved Bethesda’s last single-player RPG, Fallout 4 (maybe a bit too much), and there’s nothing I like more than a sci-fi universe with spaceships, lasers, and political intrigue flying every which way. They come from my heart and I hope they touch yours.I feel like I’m the kind of person Starfield was made for. All my paintings have deep, personal meaning. Much of my art is interwoven with intricate patterns and the delicate application of gold leaf to further conceptualize my themes. My paintings are explorations of my dreams, emotions and imagination. My inspiration is my personal experience with love, loss, and infinite joy. During my past three decades as an artist I have been an ardent supporter of a number of youth art programs in the Bay Area and spent time an instructor at the Lilian Paley Center for the Visual Arts in Oakland, California. Recently, one of my paintings was chosen for the cover of the college textbook, “Gendered Lives”, by Julia T. I have had numerous solo exhibitions over the years including an exclusive event in which I partnered with Mercedes-Benz of California. I'm based in the San Francisco Bay Area where my work is shown in galleries, corporate spaces, restaurants, and cafes.
