Game is kind of 'meh' at the moment. I paid more for this game than any other in my life, yet I am disappointed in what it's achieved.

The outpost mechanic is completely and utterly pointless, inventory management is a disgrace, questlines are forced and inflexible.

I will revisit in 6 months or so in the hope that modders finish making the game that Bethesda started. I have learnt my lesson to not buy a Bethesda game straight away though.

I'd say it's worse than pointless. The only reason I can see to use it (outside of XP farming) is to make the grind for research/crafting easier, but it even fails at that since you can buy/loot any resources you need for less than it takes to set up the outposts. It can't even make one of the other half-baked systems less of a pain to deal with.

I forgot I was paying for game pass, so that's why I'm playing it now. I'm having some fun, but the revisit when mods finish feels pretty true. I only have one loaded atm, but definitely considering some others.

I waited for the reviews, and decided if I play it it will be a pirated copy....
