    I am fine with most of the game. It’s basically what I expected from a Bethesda game.

    Two things stand out for me in different ways:

    1. The space travel feels implemented in a way that seems to show their helplessness in getting it right. It ends up with a weird mix of Freelancer and just lazy fast travel and the game doesn’t portrait a clear line for me what it would actually expect me to do with it and how they would like me to travel. Especially since even the “manual” travel involves a lot of kinda-fast-travel steps. It’s just weird.
    2. No maps in cities. It’s the damn future with space travel across the universe and they forgot how to cartograph cities or planets? Come on!

      That no maps thing really got me. It is so stupid.

      I encountered like 10 more shops after I thought I already explored New Atlantis completly. And then it turns out there is an entire sewer system full of people.
