I wouldn't say it's bad because there's a lot of stuff you need to unlock through leveling. I think it has a rough start because it doesn't play like other Bethesda games and it's not quite compelling enough to make it as an open world survival title, either.

I am enjoying it more after getting ... over 10 hours in, but I was trying to play it like Fallout 4 or Skyrim and it just doesn't have the same flow at all. Too many mundane boring side quests to get caught up in which are good for variety but not great when they're the first things you encounter if you try to stray from the main mission.

Also the game doesn't explain like ANY of its systems. Still learning who the factions are, I started building an outpost but I don't even know how everything all works (like apparently power just automatically feeds to other buildings without the need to build cabling or anything). I am excited to learn how to build outposts but right now feel like I don't have enough resources to really delve into it.

Yeah I see what you mean. The other games encourage you to go to a small town first so you don't get overwhelmed easy. Here they throw you into a massive city.

For me I did the Vanguard faction quest early. The induction for that explains the factions and lore for the universe and then you get to train with the space flying. The game sorta nudges you to do this if you follow the main quest enough but it's really easy to end up somewhere else.

I've played 10 hours and every quest I have done so far has either been the main quest, the Vanguard or something I have encountered within those travels and I've had a great time. But when I've checked out the odd POI on a planet it's just been a base of mercs and nothing else.
