You are correct! I was wrong. I’ve made it to the first terrormorph and have explored 80% of the outposts/planet and I find the story to be pretty good so far.
I also misrepresented my experience with the loading times. What I should have said is that traveling to and from the surface with loading screens breaks the immersion for me. Additionally, I don’t think it’s a deal breaker.
The visuals and the atmosphere is fantastic.
And lastly, I agree the beginning was pretty weak.

Haha you’re exploring literally just the surface of your first planet.
What I recommend for you and everyone playing this game is to just focus on the main quest up to the 3rd quest “into the unknown” and once you finish that then do side quests. While doing all of that I still explored a dozen or so POI and looted everything I can. Sold everything I can in Atlantis. If I have over 10k of loot to sell I go to trading authority in the well.
But yeah Atlantis! 3rd quest. Once that’s done everything is going to start becoming revealed. Including how important and game changing skills are. So many open up tons of new playstyles! Just unlocking security opens up tons of items in unlocking. Which I actually don’t mind compared to skyrim lockpicking. Then I unlocked level 1 persuasion and that opened new dialog in certain areas.
Oh and for sure get boost pack training!!! That should be your very first skill.
Piloting allows new classes of ship to be p piloted.
Starship design (and oh yes you can make your very own starship!)
Weapon engineering. Omg so much. I’m only lvl 20 and I’ve put in over 25 hours already. I love this game. So immersive
