I also didn't built an outpost, no reason too. The gfx are rather good except the faces. Such high detail on clothes then the face look rather low quality.

No ground vehicles is also kinda annoying.

The quest markers are all the same color, current quest should be a different color.

If you keep the same companion, they become your lover. No real story there.

Fast travel is rather nice, but it doesnt always work when questing on planet.

Ship building should include room layouts.

Bugs, so many bugs.

Whenever I read about the experience of playing one of these giant proc-gen RPGs, I can only harken back to HGttG:

“So the hours are pretty good then?' he resumed. The Vogon stared down at him as sluggish thoughts moiled around in the murky depths. Yeah,' he said, 'but now you come to mention it, most of the actual minutes are pretty lousy.”

Mind elaborating? The graphics are sub-par for a 2023 game, if I had to rate them they're ~2017 AAA levels.

The textures are garbage, the lighting is garbage (no raytracing in 2023?!), the faces are garbage^2, the particle effects are sub-par and full of obvious billboards, and the foliage looks like something from a mobile game.

I honestly don't think I could tell the difference between 2023 AAA and 2017 AAA — though granted I'm not as much of a gamer as I used to be. But still, are 2017 AAA levels really "garbage"?
