very early game soft spoilers

I managed to play an hour or so of the game. The early part feels really boring. Disregard that I tried to fly my spaceship to Kreet for five minutes without realising that I had to press A and select it to land on it because I probably skipped some tutorial prompt. When I get to New Atlantis the game feels really lifeless. There are many interactable characters around with good voice acting but the combination of the atmosphere, the music, the way that conversations go, the generic chosen one plot, it feels really boring.

Does it get better?

Also my diplomat character cannot persuade for shit.

Isn’t that the case with TES as well?

probably, it's been a while since I played it. But it rings a bell now that you mention it.

Aren’t there a bunch of megacorps doing what megacorps always do?

Also likely, I go into my games blind. There's a weird faction that's essentially a mcguffin for all pirates, the Crimson Fleet (explained as a federation of pirates). Somehow it also strikes me as a hopeful take on space pirates, also note that not a dystopia doesn't have to mean a utopia 😁 (but a game set in space communism might be cool!)
