It honestly felt like it was geared towards younger audiences than FO and Skyrim. It's still technically M, but the entire story and universe is extremely PG. That makes the story and universe incredibly boring and bland compared to the countless other Sci-Fi/Space media out there.

Understood, but you can just stop playing the main quest, and there isn't any negative effect to the world, and nobody is requesting help. The only thing close is when you're escaping the lodge.

The artifact pieces should have awoken or summoned an ancient race that is hell bent on destroying the world. Blah blah.

I guess I just wanted a more, Mass Effect type story. Also Mass Effect style alien races. Not everything is humanoid.

I could have been more clear. What you mentioned, to me, feels like a symptom of making the game geared towards a younger audience. There are no stakes, no wrong decisions, etc. The game is far too Star Trek and needs to be more The Expanse.
