The game is aggressively Bethesda but I'm enjoying the visuals and sniffing the 3d model of every insignificant bit of detritis in the world. I saw a very nice looking bowl, maybe THE bowl of all videogames. Other than that the narrative and main story has already lost my interest after about 10 minutes and I'll be off being a space menace if the game will let me.
Once i found out I can travel using the ship in scanner mode it doesn't feel like a map simulator anymore.
Also the chef having a perk for dueling tickles me.
Game also runs like shit on PC but digital foundry showed most settings being on medium yields good performance with no noticable quality loss.
Yeah, it's really not that hard, Skyrim just has you crossing a completely imaginary border that probably doesn't even matter to 99% of people at the wrong time when the empire is watching, you could have done it for literally any reason, thats good enough.
Like they even do the amnesia thing in Starfield after you get zapped by the macguffin, an amnesia inducing vehicle accident is like one of the most classic cliches they could have used instead.
