I have been dying for a space sim like this – story, ship combat, classic Bethesda RPG elements, etc. The direct showcased so many features that, if pitched to me in writing, I wouldn’t have believed possible to fit into a single game. But oh man am I a believer now.
I honestly think one of my most anticipated gameplay elements is just being able to survey different planets and enjoy the strikingly beautiful vistas and starscapes. I’ve often fantasized about having my own little space ship to just cruise around and hang out in. With this game, I can (almost) make that a reality.
What are you looking forward to?
The skill tree for sure. If they really nail the RPG elements like in Fallout 3 this game is going to have a ton of replayability. Seeing a build where you can just punch people really hard makes me excited. Fallout 4 really lacked that. Choosing traits that can radically affect your playthrough in character creation has sooooo much potential.
Yes! I’m really curious what sort of perks are in the skill tree, and to see how they fit with different traits / backgrounds.
