Anyone who didn't expect BG3 to win Game of the Year has been under a rock since it launched O.o Anyone who expected Starfield to win Most Innovative Gameplay, are you offering divination services to the public?
Damn, I know some people are dead-set on insisting that Starfield isn't that bad but... innovative?? Really??? Most innovative?!?? Baffling!
It's probably an ironic award, though I stand by the statement that Starfield isn't any worse than Bethesda's other mainstream titles post-Morrowind, except for the fact that it can't ride on the writing of much better writers who either left the company or made the IP they acquired.
Starfield is the first pure creation of Modern Bethesda, and they can't rely on the excellent lore and world building of other games like Fallout 1 and 2, Morrowind, etc.
That being said, 90% of issues can be solved by halving the radius for POI generation, adding a huge number of new POIs for the pool, and adding a survival mode to make shipbuilding important, space travel require fuel, and spacesuits necessary for environmental protection.
