I have been dying for a space sim like this – story, ship combat, classic Bethesda RPG elements, etc. The direct showcased so many features that, if pitched to me in writing, I wouldn’t have believed possible to fit into a single game. But oh man am I a believer now.

I honestly think one of my most anticipated gameplay elements is just being able to survey different planets and enjoy the strikingly beautiful vistas and starscapes. I’ve often fantasized about having my own little space ship to just cruise around and hang out in. With this game, I can (almost) make that a reality.

What are you looking forward to?

    When they showed VASCO saying the player’s name I was excited, although they didn’t go into this too much to say how it would work or if it’s going to be a pre-existing list of names.

    It probably will be a pre-existing list. They had something very similar in Fallout 4 where the robot butler would say your name (if it’s in the list). It was pretty comprehensive though.

      Likely, yeah. It does seem like they’re basically doing things they’ve done before but up to 11, so maybe they’ll only have a pre-existing list but it’ll be even more comprehensive than in F4.
