But they were suppressing the area my infantry was assaulting, sooo... oops.

You can meet a past version of yourself in new game plus!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN MORROWIND DID THAT IN 2001 WHEN YOU MEET THE FAILED INCARNATIONS OF THE NEREVARINE?! WHAT-

<is pulled off stage with prejudice>

Most bad games barely coax around 1,000-2,000 words out of me!

Two dudes in the entire game (afaik) wear eye patches because they're war vets, give me one of those too Todd, let me roleplay my soldier character to be a war vet who also lost an eye so I can bond with the weirdo gun store owner on Neon or just please add some glasses to that universe, why does the Starfield universe not have glasses, like it's already an issue that disabilities are invisible/don't exist in most games, nobody uses mobility aids like canes or wheelchairs, they're just not a thing.

In Fallout they used wheelchairs to be regular static chairs for their skeleton tableaus but nobody who's alive uses one because they don't have the technology for that. In Starfield the cities aren't designed with them in mind (which could be a clever worldbuilding choice saying the future is not conscious of disabled people's needs but I'm sure it's not) but now with modern technology we have even less options than we did in 2015! (Fallout 4) or 2008! (Fallout 3) people don't even wear fucking glasses anymore!

I know there's like magic future plastic surgery in the Starfield universe so maybe they can fix people's vision problems with bionic eyes or new flesh eyes, I could buy that one if it was explicitly said out loud to me, except that still doesn't solve the question of why glasses just don't exist at all, people love to look fashionable, there's several odd and eccentric clothing choices with fancy dresses and suits with bright bold colors and patterns, people wear hats (tbh mostly boring baseball caps or cowboy hats), earrings and piercings, they have tattoos and cybernetic implant looking things stuck on their forehead but nobody wears glasses for style, even if they theoretically don't need it? come the fuck on. They don't even need to provide benefits like "better accuracy" or whatever, even if it had 0 stat bonuses I'd like to have the option to wear glasses because I can't live without mine irl, the world is a blur without glasses to me, but my in game character is too perfect, her vision is fine and there isn't a trait like New Vegas's "Four Eyes" where it could provide you with those said bonuses I don't care about but negatives if you weren't wearing any glasses, but no everybody has perfect vision in the cyberpunk dystopian liberal space democracy hell future, which shows some awesome worldbuilding choices and what priorities they had. they wanted the political setting to be fleshed out and left out basic things like "people wear glasses".

It would have detracted efgort from all the meticulously-placed vendor trash - the true environmental storytelling!
