It's been so long I thought they had dropped the IP. The first game has some issues but it wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. Hopefully they addressed the issues with the first game.

As far as I could tell, the "issues" people primarily had with it were that they wanted it to be bigger, but I also really appreciated its scope and how little time they wasted.

I had at least one quest which, when certain choices were made, would not complete. They never fixed it, but did release a cash-grab level-cap-increasing version later. Left a bad taste in my mouth. (There were other bugs and issues I faced that also never got fixed, but I don't recall what they were anymore). I mostly did enjoy the game, otherwise, and the size was fine in my opinion.

I genuinely loved the first game, my only gripe is it was a glorified demo and needed far more content.

I still finished it 3 times consecutively within the first week mind you.

What issues? Who makes it out to be bad? As far as I remember everyone has always loved this game, it's like saying "despite the issues with Fallout New Vegas, it's not as bad as people make it out to be", or Skyrim, or Red dead redemption 2, it's the kind of game I don't think I've ever heard someone complaining about it (except perhaps for the existencial dread caused by finishing such a good game and not knowing what to do next)

An issue I had was the shitty atmosphere (at least for me) and the soulless world

Its odd that you haven't come across any complaints since almost everytime this game comes up in online threads that I visit, it's filled with people criticizing it.

Surprise surprise, people online like to bitch about anything and everything

My main issue is a perspective thing - it felt like playing half assed fallout in space, in the sense that many questlines and stories felt very "been there, done that". Its probably great if you haven't played fallout 3 or new Vegas, but it just didn't do much that was new beyond a coat of paint so I just got bored with it.
