very early game soft spoilersI 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.

Let me tell you when you booted that game up back in 2003 as a kid there was nothing else like it. The graphics especially were incredible for the time, nothing had ever come close. Stepping off that ship and into a murky town where you instantly were left to your own devices to do whatever the heck you wanted to... it's difficult to recapture this.
