Bethesda delivered a video game that is functional and has plenty of story and questing content compared to Fallout 4.

Did they make an immersive world where you can get lost in and feel apart of it like it's a living and breathing world like Bethesda's previous titles? ♥♥♥♥ no. God no. This is the LEAST immersive Bethesda title I have ever played, it feels like just another video game to me and that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks.

I could forgive every single flaw and complaint about this game if it weren't for the new "gimmick" in the game, New Game Plus which takes everything from you and resets the game in line with the story, but completely removes all meaning from the quests for me, it legitimately made me angry to beat this game. Beating the main story removes all agency and meaning from the rest of the characters in the game, and makes you disassociate heavily if you actually gave a damn about the story.

Throwing the story bit away the NG+ is literally the same thing as No Man Sky's "Reach the center of the galaxy" quite literally the same thing, and sorry not sorry, but I don't have fun exploring a landing zone that has points of interest randomly generated within a gaussian circle, if I wanted to do that I would of programmed/made it myself because ITS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ EASY TO MAKE THIS GAME, PISS EASY. The Elite series, Freelancer, X series, etc, there are SO many space games that do space better than this, literally the ONLY point to this game is the story and quest content, and they ruined the feeling of "being the dragonborn" in Skyrim in this game even though that's what they were going for because of the NG+ mode.

I don't want to explore the same planets, with the same random dungeons, and the same quests 10+ times over in NG+ Todd, wtf was the point of your story? Why did you think people would want to play this game without any meaning or consequences when exploring is literally pushing stick forward and tapping A over and over and over again to fly over everything? Why the ♥♥♥♥ do I want to play this boring ass game if it isn't for the story? What the ♥♥♥♥ Todd.

Every complaint about this game is valid, No vehicles is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, its not optimized at all and I could make a better game in dreams ps4, no seamless transitions is also ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, they didn't touch the engine at all "CK2" my ass it still runs like an engine from 1990, they haven't changed the rendering engine at all besides to add more stacks of post effect bs to it that has crippled performance for anyone without the brand newest and highest end graphics cards, many of whom still get sub 50 fps in new Atlantis. Why tho? Cyberpunk can play in huge cities just fine, Space Engineers you can build ships as big as new Atlantis, and I can name countless other games that do more, and have more, and don't give me this "consistent world" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because 90% of the npcs in this game are randomly generated and do not have routines and are not incorporated into the world which is another Bethesda classic game feature removed, in fact pretty much EVERYTHING that makes Bethesda games fun outside of the questing was removed in favor of making a half baked no mans sky clone, what the ♥♥♥♥, I was one of the people who adamantly said it wasn't a NMS clone and man was I wrong, even if that's not what it is after beating the game the intention is clear that's what they wanted.

TL;DR Okay Video Game, Don't beat the main story, like at all it literally makes the game feel pointless, and wait for mod support to come out because the game is unimmerisve as ♥♥♥♥ at the moment theres no reason to play a game as unengaging as this it's a waste of story/quest content
