I've bought a house on The Well so I've been spending a lot of time there decorating it. Talked to a lot of NPCs and got a couple of questlines, one involving the Red Mile. From the quests, you get to learn a bunch of stuff about the Starfield's world
So you're playing the Sims? As for the questlines, I'm in two factions currently, plus working through a lot of side content. Just completed a random abandoned station for the 5th time! Yes, the same station as before! And this one was in an actual faction quest
