    I played the game 40+h without any mods and had a lot of fun. It is very much enjoyable without mods. Can mods make the game better? Yes, sure Are the mods needed to have fun with the game? Absolutely not.

      For my curiosity, what on Earth could you possibly do for those 40 hours? Cause for me that's about 5 times more than it's worth spending with the game in its current state.

        I'm 60 hours in and haven't touched the outpost, ship building, or equipment modding. Main quest and 2 faction side quests completed. I've enjoyed my time and bought the game with the expectation that it would be FO4 with some things improved some things worse and a new setting.

        There are definitely failings and it's not a 10/10 game but for a lot of people it's a great game. The proc gen system needs more variety but that can be improved through updates and mods. If you prefer handcrafted content follow the quests and you'll see minimal repeats of the POIs. I don't regret my purchase one bit and would be fine if no DLC, mods, or updates happen even though I prefer they do. End of the day make your own decision based on what you like just realize it's not a dumpster fire and not the perfect game that everyone should run out and play.

          I did more or less like you. I tried the outpost a bit, but when I realized they were irrelevant (same with modification and ship building) I just continued the main quest.

          The dame has flaws, and I generally don't buy games when they just come out, but I'm not disappointed in this purchase, despite the flaws of the game.

        Lots of cool side quests, a main quest that is one of the best from Bethesda, exploring the universe. And yes even the power puzzles from time to time to unlock a new power. I have about 100h (hard to say as steam is not logging the time for me anymore because I use mod manager and sfse) now (started with modding after entering NG+ at about 40h and still find new fun things to do. I am in NG+2 at the moment.

        Mods I use are mostly cosmetic (I love to change some posters or magazine covers when ich switch NG+) or QoL like faster animations or better UI.

        I have 60 hours in and just got to the temples. There's a ton of things to do. I'll probably get 100 hours into the base game and then many, many more hours from mods.

        You keep asking this in this thread. What answer do you want? The game has a shitload of content in it. I'm 35ish hours in and I have so many random quests and things to do. I've spent hours wandering around planets. Around cities. In space stations. Scanning things, reading stuff.

        It's completely fine if what the game has to offer doesn't appeal to you, but if you truly cannot comprehend how anyone could enjoy it, then I'm afraid you just don't have much perspective.

        This is, objectively speaking, a large scale open world game with hundreds of hours of content. It should be self evident that what it has to offer will appeal to some and not to others. How can you think that because it doesn't appeal to you, it shouldn't appeal to anyone? That makes no sense.
