All game development seems like a bunfight with the impossible, but following in the footsteps of Skyrim is surely cursed.

In the latest, teasing, behind-the-scenes Into The Starfield video, the development team discuss some of the values that remain the same between Starfield and Bethesda's other games.

In the seven-minute video above, game director Todd Howard, studio director Angela Browder and art director Matt Carofano discuss Starfield in the context of the studio.

"We always have that 'step out' moment, into the world," he says, referring to moments where you first step into the open world from a Fallout vault or Oblivion dungeon.

"Technology's changed, we've all changed, so our expectations of loading up a game and 'Okay, I'm going to step out, there's going to be this moment.' Us being able to do that and have it feel new every generation, every game, is something really special about what we do.
