130 hours into Starfield, one player had a revelation that a lot of players seem to concur with: "Starfield is missing the weird, crazy story bosses to kill and weird, crazy named weapons and armor." Fair warning, this article contains spoilers for Starfield (Elder Scrolls and Fallout, too) so don't come at me.
It's a fair point, LazyOldMan makes in his Reddit post on the Starfield sub. Starfield does appear to have landed on a distinct lack of "Psycho buffed, serum dripped, mutated, magic enhanced, corrupted, enraged or gigantic boss[es]".
