I own this game. I really wanna like it. It’s beautiful! My issue is that every time I sit down to play it, I feel like the game is 95% dialogue, 3% walking around town, and 2% action. Every few months I pick it up again, hoping it was only dialogue heavy for the intro. I still haven’t made it out of the starting town, but I’m several hours in at this point. Does it ever let up with the incessant paragraphs of middling exposition?

I rewatched TNG in its entirety during peak pandemic. Season 1 is pretty painful, but the rest holds up well. I tried to watch DS9 afterwards and bounced off it pretty hard. It’s got such a different vibe from TNG. Voyager is a little closer to TNG, but missing some of the campiness that I enjoy.

I’m really liking Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and Picard Season 3 (avoid Picard Seasons 1&2 at all costs, just skip them as they have nothing to do w/ S3).
