It's a Bethesda RPG in space. If you're looking for No Man's Sky, it isn't that. If you're looking for Elite Dangerous, it isn't that. But it is a BSG RPG, just like I've been playing since Morrowind, and it really scratches that itch. I like the characters I've met, I've enjoyed exploring, and I'm starting to get into the lore and history. The weapons feel great and the gunplay is good. I tried the ship building and was pleased with how smooth a process that is.
I've seen a few graphical glitches, but this really is the least buggy-at-launch BSG RPG I've played. It's definitely made for a controller, but that's fine, that's how I prefer to play these days.
I'm glad you're enjoying it, but this is sort of confirmation that it's gonna be a disappointment for me. "It's just like other Bethesda titles" isn't the selling point it once was ☺️
Fair enough. I'm the kind of madlad that really enjoyed Fallout 4, although not as much as previous titles. I'd say this one beats FO4.
