I does indeed start out slow, but it gets better after a certain point in the main quest. It's a fairly standard Bethesda open world game, so just don't be expecting something more and you should enjoy it. One thing I've appreciated as a hoarder is that your run speed doesn't decrease even when you're hugely encumbered, your stamina (oxygen) just goes down as if you were sprinting.
I'm curious, as a skyrim guy if this would be for me.
Probably if you're okay with a sci-fi theme and don't mind that you have to load into most locations rather than being able to run to them. It has more in common with Fallout than Skyrim.
Oof, i tried to like fallout but it wasn't for me.
What didn't you like about it compared to Skyrim? That might tell me whether you'd like this one or not.
Just everything, i played it and went: "nah ain't it" and then i played it more hoping i would like it eventually as it was bethesda, but my opinion never changed.
So if i have to give it a name: the reason i don't like it is because it isn't skyrim...i guess.
The biggest difference is the setting and the focus on gun combat as opposed to magic and melee, so one or both of those things would be my guess.
