very early game soft spoilers

I managed to play an hour or so of the game. The early part feels really boring. Disregard that I tried to fly my spaceship to Kreet for five minutes without realising that I had to press A and select it to land on it because I probably skipped some tutorial prompt. When I get to New Atlantis the game feels really lifeless. There are many interactable characters around with good voice acting but the combination of the atmosphere, the music, the way that conversations go, the generic chosen one plot, it feels really boring.

Does it get better?

Also my diplomat character cannot persuade for shit.

Speaking of bugs I was surprised at how smoothly it ran. I recently got a 4k monitor that goes above 120 hertz and playing even more mid-range games makes my fans run at top speed because of this. But on Starfield, my computer was its usual quiet self. And I was able to run on medium at a good framerate, def 60 at least (I could get the video settings on high but I would get some fps drops here and there). I understand the game adjusts resolution dynamically and I didn't have it set at 100% either way, but it was never shocking or noticeable.

yeah I guess the delay from last year helped out a lot
