Things I would like to see:

  • Finally digging themselves out of the Gamebryo hole in favor of a modern engine.
  • Bringing in inspired talent to replace their long-stale game design and direction.
  • Character art that doesn't look like Bethesda hates humans. (To be fair, they might have addressed this in Starfield. Humanoids in past Elder Scrolls games look ugly as hell, though.)

no gamebryo means modding is likely gone with it

the engine has some quirks but the platform is irreplaceably easy to edit and easy to use with its plugin system, and conflicts with other plugins are simple to handle unlike majority of games that get modded

without that all you have is a bland game with forgettable story and barely any rpg elements, but gamebryo is replaced by another engine and its own bugs and faults

It's not "some quirks", gamebryo completely killed any ambition in Starfield with how utterly ancient and impractical it is. Most issues with Starfield, even some gameplay issues, boil down to the engine or the things they had to do to try and mitigate its shittiness. This led the modding community to pretty much ditch Starfield, despite how moddable the game is.

And sure, modding will suffer, but other games with different engines manage to have modded content too.
