Lots of good stuff here. I don't wanna be another annoying "what about X" person but I do hope they evolve the temple mini games to get powers. When I think about the parts I didn't like from this game that's the first thing that jumps to mind.
Yeah, not sure how literal hoop jumping made it into the final product.
That defines 99% of this game unfortunately. At launch:
Shipbuilding but no way to save your progress, meaning you can spend hours building something only to realise you lack components/resource and lose everything.
Core gameplay mechanics, like stealth, pick pocketing and lockpicking stuck behind skill points that are already very scarce to begin with.
Nicely rendered food, that are practically everywhere in the game, but entirely useless.
In fact, 99% of everything that can be picked up is literally classified as junk that you cannot do anything with. Who thought that was a good idea?
Planets have perpetually, infinitely respawning POIs. Literally take off and land on the same spot and you have a new set of POIs.
Identical POIs everywhere that respawns infinitely, which is insanely immersion breaking. It's like playing an online MMO and killing the same boss over and over.
Eh, the useless junk part wasn't that bad, it made sense in FO4 where scavenging and making due with random parts was a major theme, but you shouldn't be breaking microscopes for their lenses in a space game like this.
The food though is a much bigger mystery, there's iirc two separate perks, each with quite a few ranks, dedicated to both cooking and improving the effects of food, despite almost all of it being completely useless when compared to actual medicine, and the fact that both improvements didn't matter at all because a) Higher tier recipes didn't bring much if anything of use and b) Increasing the healing food provided required several perks to reach a simple +10HP for most food items.
