Isn't that the case with TES as well?
Aren't there a bunch of megacorps doing what megacorps always do? And some space pirates doing space pirate things?
Depends on what TES you're talking about. In Morrowind most people are neutral towards the player and you have to gain their trust or bribe them if you want something from them. Some just hate the player for various reasons and some NPCs are just straight up racist/spiecist. Some refuse to talk to you if you have contraband in your inventory (like skooma or moon sugar). I don't know about the other games but I've heard that the "universally liked player" thing started with Skyrim.
probably, it's been a while since I played it. But it rings a bell now that you mention it.
Also likely, I go into my games blind. There's a weird faction that's essentially a mcguffin for all pirates, the Crimson Fleet (explained as a federation of pirates). Somehow it also strikes me as a hopeful take on space pirates, also note that not a dystopia doesn't have to mean a utopia π (but a game set in space communism might be cool!)
