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 like 30+ hours in and it’s all I’m thinking about at work rn. That doesn’t always happen, few games hook me like that. Halo 2/3 from MS/HS, probably Skyrim to an extent, ESO (forever and always apparently, cause I’m still playing that amongst Starfield), and now this. And it’s all aspects. I want to build my ship, I want to do my outposts and crafting, I want to explore planets to find needed resources, gear, and weapons, I want to finish the main story, and the side quests (and I’m actually agonizing over which side I want to go with). Menus are weird, but it barely detracts. If anything it helps me get where I need to go quickly, the travel to objective feature is awesome for someone like me who couldn’t find New Atlantis at one point because I forgot which system it was in.

    I’m debating bringing my Xbox with me to a friend’s house for a weekend trip so we can play there.

    I’m definitely bringing it, who am I kidding?
