    Same, but I also I spent an additional week obsessively installing and trying different mods, until I finally came to the conclusion that none of them would actually make the game fun to play.

      With no creation kit, the mods are super limited. I’m guessing once that releases, there will be a lot more options that might make it worth a replay. I’d like to see something that makes building outposts worthwhile, and maybe some companions that aren’t all the same personality. That said, if I ever do replay it, it’ll be in a few years. It wasn’t interesting enough to want to jump right back in.

        Oh I didn’t know that. Explains why most of the current mods do little more than improve the dated graphics. I’ll give the game a second chance once it gets mods like this:

        1. An off-road vehicle mod
        2. A spaceship overhaul mod that eliminates the cutscenes. Actually be able to take off and land the ship yourself, and replace fast travel with a proper warp drive. Owning and maintaining a ship should be more fun overall. There should be a pre-flight checklist and more parts to replace/upgrade/maintain, as a start.
        3. A mod that adds more cities and towns to all these barren planets.
        4. A story overhaul mod. Every single quest and line of dialog should be replaced with something that is actually interesting to play. This will obviously take many years – at least 5 – if not a decade or more. That’s the main issue with this game. The story is the most boring thing to ever come out of a Bethesda product.

          Yeah I think what you’re looking for is just a different game. The copy and paste buildings are a huge issue that definitely deserves a fix, but the space stuff you want is kind of a different genre.
