Seriously this is a lot of fun. It is absolutely a Bethesda game through and through. Not sure what people were expecting. I'm glad it's not like No Man's Sky because that game bored the shit out of me almost immediately.

Thoughts?

I'm having too much choice paralysis. 😵‍💫

I will spend hours just wandering aimlessly looking for things to do end up with 20 missions and not want to do any of them because along the way I learn something new that's possible and seek to check that out. I've just been bouncing around 3 or 4 star systems going between Mars, New Atlantis, Neon and Akila and feel like I've barely scraped the surface.

It's fun to notice the tropes, though. Its like they just took everything from sci-fi they thought was cool and shoved it into one game. You've got the Star Trek planet, the Cyberpunk planet, the Firefly planet, a faction that's basically Starship Troopers, the NCR Rangers from Fallout (everyone thought they were so cool), evil corporations filled with snappy dressers... I'm sure there's gotta be a derelict ship or station that has a terramorph infestation that is going to be basically Alien/Aliens (and I can't wait to find it). As a huge sci-fi fan, I appreciate the hell outta this game for the nerdgasm it gives me.
