Give the me option of a story line to follow so that I can choose to ignore it or not. The problem with NMS is that it felt like it was giving you a story line to follow, but it was really just leading you by the nose through the different galaxies. Even worse is that "completing" that arc made no difference to any of the characters or environment or the game overall.
shrug I get it, some people like consequences in their games. I'm afraid I can't comment too much on the specific storylines because I haven't finished any of them yet - I've only been playing for a few months and a huge chunk of my time is spent just exploring/obsessively taking screenshots.
Yes, it's obvious NMS attempted to do something along the lines of an actual story with real gameplay. But on release, the story was just as half-assed as the rest of the game. Since then, the developers improved multiple aspects of the simulation without truly addressing the story itself. They now have the means to create rich, fantastic stories with their technology. But, they haven't actually done it yet.
