I miss the customization of Fallout 3 and 4. I've put a day or two into Outer Worlds and so far it seems like there are only a few different types of armor and you can't color them to your liking. There are a handful of helmets, but nowhere near what Fallout has as far as variety. I also miss the building in Fallout 4, which I didn't think I would. The ship is a nice touch, but again, it lacks customization. Perhaps these things will open up more as I play, but so far I haven't seen much to really make my character, my ship or my crew "my own".

In a lot of ways The Outer Worlds reminds me of Knights of the Old Republic more than a Fallout game or even Obsidian's old D&D RPGs. I suppose their experience with The Sith Lords is the reason. I see a little bit of humor here and there and a lot of reading on computer terminals but that is about as close as this gets to Fallout in my opinion. The rest feels like Borderlands crossed with KotOR without the humor of Borderlands or the dated combat of KotOR. A solid game, in my opinion, just not very Fallout to me, but then I honestly did not like New Vegas because it dragged on and on with boring quests in the beginning and I got bored with it.

Kind of sad that after the initial reviews, within the media lot of the exposure for this game is always done as a way to bring down Fallout and Bethesda.

About all i hear is how is that it's a good version of Fallout. But, I know there is more to this game than that, and I don't see a lot of discussion about what's really good within the game. I look at games that get a lot of criticism but aren't compared to other games so much, and if they are good games, you get a lot of people saying what they like about it. With this, it's just, "It's not Bethesda or Fallout". That doesn't make it a good game, because many games are better than Fallout and many pubs/devs are better than what was done with FO76.

Fallout 76 sucks and Bethesda Sucks, not a matter of opinion.

Ya muvva sucks cucks in hell.

No Man's Sky has had a lot of free content thrown at it and has made a ton of fans as a result. They've added a ton to it for free over time. FO76 now has paid severs that have "infinite scrap box" included on them, which actually destroys the scrap. FO76 is a dumpster fire in comparison to No Man's Sky.

I think it's important to note that the budget for the Outer Worlds is pretty far from most AAA games, i agree it seems like it just doesn't have a lot of that soft padding that makes you wanna spend every waking minute in the world, that it's very competent and everything has a clear purpose, feeling much like an older, more traditional rpg.
