This has to be one of the most nitpicked titles I have ever seen. The critiques launched at this game for every single minimum detail are crazy considering how some other games get easy passes for their flaws.

Finally Bethesda created a main quest that interlaces perfectly with their gameplay and it's a must complete. Compared to their other titles, you don't want to skip the main quest as it completes a perfect gameplay loop for it.

As always, the faction storylines are some of the best content and , thankfully, compared to Fallout these ones are stellar and have some incredible twists and creative moments. Great recommendation towards doing Ryujin Industries and Crimson Fleet Storylines.

Anyways, I can understand how this game is not clicking with some due to the slow start and the complete paradigm shift of how a Bethesda game is played, which is why i would recommend focusing on the main and Faction storylines which take you to as many planets and systems as possible and in turn, those will lead you to new unexpected experiences on a random passenger ship, a new cave on a settled planet or some innocent conversations heard throughout the cities.

Yeah, it starts slow. I consider it a lengthy tutorial.

But I'm liking it so far.

I too love fast traveling to the same mine/cave prefab repeatedly and autopiloting to the blue objective marker until I can bust out my no man's sky mining laser and dig out metal slate number 8, but not as much as going to the same alien temple prefab (that your ship always lands at least half a kilometer away from because walking in a straight line across barren landscapes is really fun) and doing the exact same zero-g "puzzle" that you're expected to do 20+ times if you want to unlock all the dragonshouts. They really outdid themselves with the main quest by putting together one with less handcrafted content than Daggerfall, but frankly I found Ryujin consisting largely of Skyrim's thieves guild radiant quests and the first Crimson Fleet quest after joining them being the game's equivalent to a draugr dungeon to be even more impressive.

Todd saved this year after all the mid games.
