To be fair - there is a tiny bit of space cowboy-ism in The Expanse, tough. But it is very tongue-in-cheek, even in-universe.

Bae’zel fucking me after I slaughtered the whole goblin camp was totally ok for her character.

I did

I’ve played it now for about 3 hours and it feels very much like Skyrim/Fallout in space - not more, but also not less. There is nothing revolutionary about anything, but this was also not my expectation. The NASA-Punk aesthetic works well enough and gunplay was surprisingsly good so far - but your enemies are quite spongy.

NPCs and dialogues are a bit wooden, but this is nothing new for Bethesda games as well.

The worst thing is the engine. It really shows how old this engine is. There are things which simply look terrible in my book, this becomes obvious during the first visit in New Atlantis (which is pretty early in the game).

7 / 10 is probably fair.

Download was around 92 GB.

Gone again.

As someone who has played BG1 and 2 and is now 21 hours in the game … so far there are no references. But the story, the worldbuilding and the characters are sooo gloriously brilliant

It’s right of the center. So aligned with Elon’s politics…
