For those who have pre-ordered it is already here, the rest have to wait a little longer. Starfield is finally here! Have you bought it, why or why not? If you've already played it, what do you think of it? We are very curious!

Upsides:

side quests other than the radiant ones are mostly cool so far
stealth archer isn’t so good that you can just play that way straight out, but the tree makes it looks eventually strong
zero g combat in a derelict space station was cool. I hope there’s more of that
base building seems fine, I’m not sure what it’s for, but it seems fine

Downsides:

ship stuff feels bad. I don’t care about fast travel, but it’s just about the weakest ship-to-ship combat that I’ve played. Its early yet, though. Boarding a ship was cool at least.
combat AI is not good. Enemies never seem to take any initiative, they mostly just crouch behind wherever you found them
the setting has no… flavor? The factions feel like fallout analogues but without fun or verve. Maybe I just haven’t found the weird shit yet, but I’m not optimistic.
