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.

    It’s definitely one of the least buggy Bethesda games I’ve played at launch, but it’s still a Bethesda game so you’ll see the usual “npc vibrating into a wall” type bugs. An amusing one I just encountered was my companion getting stuck talking with that spacesuit filter on her voice, so even though she’s standing right next to me and we’re not wearing spacesuits her voice she still sounded like she was talking over a radio lol.

    I had one where my companion was wearing only her normal clothes

    which would be fine normally but…

    She was on the surface of the moon

      Lol I actually just had another one today where I was doing a mission on Neon and told my companion to wait in one of the air ducts because she kept alerting the guards when I was trying to sneak around. I totally forgot about her in there and during the next mission I was talking to an NPC and my companion interjected with something… from a totally different floor, partially obscured by shadows of an air vent she was standing near. Gave me a good laugh imagining her standing in a dark air duct for hours and then somehow hearing our conversation from multiple floors below us and giving her thoughts on it.
