    Keeping my fingers crossed they eventually sand off the rough edges and turn it into a halfway decent Skyrim in Space.

      The problem is that the spice and flavour of Skyrim was not using the fast travel and just exploring.

      With modding to add random encounters and roaming friendlies/neutral mobs, Fallout 4 was great too. Even more so recently with the flyable vertibirds so that you could get the in-game fast travel that used resources.

      But neither of those can exist in a game where fast travel is a clue and unavoidable gameplay mechanic.

    Aaaah the Beowulf, the weapon that contributed to ruining my experience further. Not surprised to see it is the most used. The amount of ways in which that weapon was more convenient than anything else is ridiculous.
    In semi-auto it hits almost as hard as anything else you can find, but you find it significantly earlier than most powerful things, and it shoots decently fast. It is very common loot so there is a big chance that you will come across one that is souped up, so you won’t even have to modify it. It is flexible enough that it works at most distances. But…

    But, but, but, there is something much much more important than any one of those things that makes it so that it is not worth bothering putting any effort into developing your arsenal beyond this weapon.
    Do you know what is the most common loot from pickpocketing the extremely abundant security guards in the world? A loot considered so insignificant that you get a very high chance of stealing it even with relatively mid stealth and pickpocketing skills?
    A bunch of 7.77 ammo.
    Do you know what is is one the most common types of loot from the random bandits and pirates that you randomly kill by the bushload?
    A bunch of 7.77 ammo.
    Do you know what the Beowulf uses?
    Exactly.

    The game considers 7.77 ammo trash loot even though the Beowulf is a very decent performer. I had 1600 rounds when I came across the first decently souped up Beowulf. Why would I put any effort into using anything else? I ended up using that weapon for 75% of the game! What the fuck.

    I remember when I got the steam notification that a developer left a comment on my review. I had left some other ones recently so I was excited, then I saw it was Bethesda telling me all the “fun things” I can do after I said it was boring. When I think about it it gives me that cringy awkward feeling you get when you’re embarrassed for someone else.
