It's atmospheric and good, but player choice during many missions is lacking. Choices often boil down to "Yes" or "Not yet." But you'll go the way the mission wants you to go or you won't finish it.

UC Secdef: choose to remain undercover or go double agent and side with pirates

UC Vanguard: choose how to handle not just Terrormorphs but what to do about [Subject REDACTED]

Ryujin: I think there's three possible outcomes there.

There's also a few side quests that can go either way, like the beer run mission. There's quite a lot more choice and consequences for a Bethesda RPG.

You also have options that change depending on your skills and progress.

You can choose to bribe, persuade, manipulate, flex your muscles, or do them a favor. Sometimes you can choose to kill them if they're not cooperating. If a task is related to one of your skills, you can show off your knowledge.

The whole no choice paradigm was much more true for FO4 than for Starfield.
