    Upsides:

    • side quests other than the radiant ones are mostly cool so far
    • stealth archer isn’t so good that you can just play that way straight out, but the tree makes it looks eventually strong
    • zero g combat in a derelict space station was cool. I hope there’s more of that
    • base building seems fine, I’m not sure what it’s for, but it seems fine

    Downsides:

    • ship stuff feels bad. I don’t care about fast travel, but it’s just about the weakest ship-to-ship combat that I’ve played. Its early yet, though. Boarding a ship was cool at least.
    • combat AI is not good. Enemies never seem to take any initiative, they mostly just crouch behind wherever you found them
    • the setting has no… flavor? The factions feel like fallout analogues but without fun or verve. Maybe I just haven’t found the weird shit yet, but I’m not optimistic.
