Unfortunately, If you're looking for a game with a gripping story and great game play....
You might want to look somewhere else.
Now with the QoL additions they have added have been nice, which lets face it. Propper navigation in cities should of been there from release.
The game is boring, mediocre voice acting, space exploration is..... pointless and boring for the most part.
Planets feel empty and dead. POI's aren't at all interesting. I've searched over 20 planets completely and not found. One thing that's unique.
The outpost system is a pain in the backside, much like the ship builder.
The two parts of the game that highly need a tutorial for and yet.... Not one pops up giving you details more than. O this is where you can customize blank.
To summarize.
The script is bad, the combat is bad, the ship combat is a my fist space fighter level of difficulty, the planets design is bad.
And the fact mod support.... The one thing that's kept a LOT of bethesda titles being played for generations. Hasn't been implemented.
This does not make me hopeful for any of bethesdas future games. Especially now they have been bought out by microsoft.
It does look pretty though.
As long as you don't look at npc's expressions during conversation.
