There are aspects of it that are a lot of fun. I love building ships, boarding and capturing ships, modding my weapons and armor, and crafting/using the cool performance-enhancing drugs. I even like exploring the procedurally generated planets, but I mainly do it so I can kill shit and farm resources and experience points. Even the base building can be fun.

But yeah, this game is a far cry from Skyrim or Fallout. The main questline is HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. It makes no sense, and nothing is ever really explained. Hunting for baby Shaun in Fallout 4 is a stroll in the park by comparison. The Constellation characters are mostly awful, particularly Barrett, who is far and away the worst game companion in the history of game companions. And what I wouldn't give to be able to shoot Cora and Matteo and especially Barrett in the ****ing face and actually permanently kill them. Advancing the main story, particularly late in the game, is like taking out the garbage in a hailstorm and then going to the dentist for a root canal.

And don't even get me started on the ****ing bugs. That's another thing that makes later stages of the game suck. As you build up more and more outposts, it really seems to make the game twitchy as hell. I used to try to build enough bases so that I could harvest every available resource, but now there are some things I just buy instead.

Overall the good outweighs the bad. I just mostly play so that I limit my exposure to the bad stuff.
