I remember when it launched, I never heard of it, didn't see any promotional material and just bought it out of curiosity. Was an incredible surprise and put so much hours into it

I was a huge fan of oblivion and I remember staying up into the early hours at uni waiting for the crack to be released. I put 16 hours in on the first day and never really looked back.

Currently wrestling with whether or not I can justify spending £800 on my pc to play starfield....

Eh, Ive got a 1080 ti and starfield runs terribly. I'm averaging 24 to 30 fps regardless if it's high or low settings. So maybe wait. Not sure what you're thinking to buy but starfield has pretty poor optimisation and if it's a minor bump I'm not sure you'll see much gain.

My graphics card isn't horrible actually to be fair. I've got an RTX 2070 but it's on a 10 year old AM3 motherboard with DDR3 in it so it's time to replace cpu/mobo/ram.

At the moment it's not playable for me, I forced myself to play the first few hours but speech visual lags behind the audio and I'm stuck waiting for 10seconds with every sentence. I know loading screens aren't great for anyone but a solid minute for each screen wasn't doable either.
