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.
Its the most bethesda game of them all. Terrible writing, story, plot... no improvements to the genre in any way. Plays exactly like oblivion, but with slightly better graphics. And god,

God I hate this shit. Using time travel and multiverse bs to justify bad writing has infected a few games lately.spoiler
Ideologically, it's poison too. Under liberal storytelling norms, its conclusions range from "nothing you do matters" al la BioShock Infinite to "nothing anyone does matters and atrocities and mass murder are cool and good if you want some high fructose corn syrup meme sauce, top kek" like Rick and Morty.yup, none of your choices matter! cause at the end of the game
