Asked about the ratio of handcrafted to procgen content in the game, Howard said that, of Starfield's 1000 planets, "The landscape's pretty much all procedural. We kind of make these large ... kilometre-sized tiles we've generated" which then get "wrapped around the planet" to create the game's 1000+ procgen wonderlands.
But fret not, because Howard was quick to add that Starfield still has more "handcrafted content … than any game we've done". He didn't give out hard numbers, but Starfield apparently has more handcrafted content "than Skyrim and Fallout 4 combined just in dialogue".
"As we get into the locations and art and everything," continued Howard, "we've done more of it than we've ever done".
