Let me start by saying that no, I did not do very many quests yet (Maybe 5-6 of varying importance) but the rest of my experience leads me to believe that it will simply not be worth it.

The level design is so bland. You can find the same location on multiple planets, all with the same enemies, loot, and they're all placed in the exact same spots. Not to mention how when you land on a planet you still have to walk several minutes in a straight line to get to that copy pasted dungeon in the distance. There's just no incentive to explore anywhere. Even the first main city, New Atlantis, is boring after the first 5 minutes. No interesting layout or design to it. The last straw for me was when I found an injured pilot needing help to return to his ship. I escorted him for 10 whole minutes to his ship with no challenges along the way. The reward was a measly 2,500 credits, and killing the guy yielded nothing and I couldn't even steal his ship despite the main hatch indicating there is a key somewhere (Spoilers: There is no key). The fact that the devs said "yeah, this is it" for this random encounter was what caused me to refund the Premium Edition and instead buy the game elsewhere for $56. Game just doesn't seem completed enough to be worth full price. Gonna keep going to see if things get better, but it's feeling like they made this game just to waste people's time.
