after No Man's Sky people kind of expected that with their budget / resources they would manage to fix that game's problems and create something richer + more seamless

That was basically what I hoped for. NMS type game, but with Skyrim/ fallout level modding, stories, quests and deeper meaning to it.

And with better procgen. They have the manpower and expertise to do that.

I haven't bought the game yet, waiting to see the initial responses. Now.. I'll probably pick it up on sale sometime, when bugs are fixed and there's solid mods.
