Yeah, the hope is that once I become familiar with what systems are available, what I should avoid, and what needs modding, I'll be able to settle into the same cozy game loop as I have with the previous games.

What concerns me is I'm struggling with some of the core systems like bad companion AI (can't reposition them in combat anymore for some reason), the main quests being so unpolished that I'm not exactly looking to jump into the side content, and especially the nested prereqs in the crafting system.
