You know what? I'm going to buck the trend in here, I'm genuinely really enjoying this, and I have had a very smooth experience so far. I just wish I could banish the damn robot to the ship.
I'm not sure where the fuss is being kicked up about it being "washed", yes under certain lighting conditions it can look a bit washed out, but others it can look utterly wonderful. Yes HDR would be very nice. However, generally I like the aesthetics of the game, I'd rather it be the way it is rather than over saturated. I'm sure it will shake out in coming patches, I'm sure day one patch when its released to the peasants will be huge

I got a bit of a shock when I turned on performance metrics. I have everything turned up to max at 3440x1440. Thought it was performing great, only to find it averageing ~40-50fps, but strangely enough its the smoothest 40 fps I've every seen, it dosnt feel like that in any way, I dont know what trickery they are pulling but it feels like I'm running 120, bizarre!
Thankfully I'm not experiencing any graphical glitches with shadows or anything, just the odd NPC not interacting with the environment correctly.
I think one thing I have to mention is I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the constant barrage of sidequests at the moment, I feel like In the process of doing one side mission I unlock 2 or three more as I'm passing NPC's/overhearing convo's etc. I do have a habit of interacting with as many people as possible though, gotta be sure not to miss anything! I'm sure I will get used to it, but when you are trying to work out the fundamental mechanics of a game, the side quests feel like they are paced a little bit fast so early on, I've spent about 3 hours doing nothing but sidequests and almost forgot what I came to the planet for in the first place

Have not tried the DLSS mod yet, might give it a look tomorrow, I just wanted to get on and play it this evening though.
