The base game is prettier and more stable in my few playthrough hours with the update.
I miss mods, but this was a significant improvement to the base game imho, especially base visuals, and mods will come.
Honestly the last time I launched the game in an unmodded, un-community patched state, a couple years ago to be fair, it crashed every half hour or so for me from runtime errors, so this feels like a more stable bedrock on which to build.
Just one Bethesda fan’s perspective.
I mean, does Neptune have oil???
We might need a little more to finish destroying our sole, communal habitat. Anything worth doing is worth doing well!
