It's one of my biggest gaming disappointments. I LOVE Bethesda games and they just missed the mark on so many choices with this one. It's not even bugs. It's the design choices they made. There's really no patch or mod that will change it.
I'm in the same place. Fundamentally the way things like exploration work, just doesn't work for me. Dicking around and ending up in an elaborate cave on the way to a quest is what I enjoy most in Bethesda games.
It's the lack of quality content when exploring. Exploring hundreds of planets with the same three copy/pasted facilities is boring and pails in comparison to the hand-crafted locations in Fallout and Elder Scrolls.
I still enjoyed the game and got a lot of hours out of it, but it's no Skyrim. It's a 8/10 game (at most) from me, whereas Skyrim is a 10/10.
I feel like this game was just way too ambitious for its own good. Having a game that's probably one of the biggest games ever in terms of exploration or freedom means nothing if the content inside is empty lol.

Makes me so sad.
