The sounds conjure up similarities to movies that also involve space exploration. If they aren’t the latter, then that’s a lot of hours spent crafting those worlds.Īnother thing I enjoyed was the music score attached to this reveal. We’ve reached out to Bethesda to see if they could shed some light on that. And even if it is true, we don’t know if these are entirely crafted planets or if they’ll be procedurally generated. That said, we can’t tell if that’s a bit of an exaggeration or not, as that seems like overkill. I want them to be an expression of myself (or my wife), so I tend to get it just right. When it comes to character customization, I can and have spent hours on my in-game avatars. I won’t lie after watching this a few times, I did geek out.

Skin tones, hairstyles and colors, character traits, body types, backgrounds, skills, and more are available to choose from.

This goes double for character customization. From the footage, players will be able to play with just about every aspect of designing their ships, just down to it being functional or just looking bizarre as they want them to be. The ship customization looks wild, and there doesn’t seem to be an end to just how much customization is available. However, what captivated me the most was both the character and ship customization. One thing is sure it doesn’t appear to be clear-cut black and white, from what I’m seeing. Apparently, the story gets kicked off when you, the player, find an artifact, and everything kicks off from there. It’s more than just that, as we also got to see a bit of the RPG elements of the game and an understanding of the story that will ultimately drive the narrative of the game. After watching the gameplay reveal a few times, it definitely feels like Fallout meets No Mans Sky, and I’m perfectly fine with that.
