    I never played it, but believed the reviews that stated that there was basically no real metaplot, and there was a mini game involving floating through stars when you found an alien artifact that you couldn’t skip after the first time.

    Oh, and no real aliens.

    WTF Bethesda?

      There was alien life but not sentient.

      The real problem was the size of everything and the lack of anything meaningful to do.

        You’re correct, there was alien life, but… this is a SciFi game with alien artifacts. Not even a shred of contact with intelligent alien life?

        Like I stated, I never played it, but your latter statement was echoed by multiple sources, so I believe you.

          But the aliens were humans who came before/after you because humans made a thing that made them destroy the universe so everything is stuck in a time loop where humans have to… Stop other humans from fielding too many stars or else they figure out how to loop the star field again.
