It should because it’s a weak game. Its technical shortcomings aside, the game’s story isn’t great. The acting is just alright. All of the characters are rather wooden. There isn’t one companion that really stands out. It also doesn’t help that none of them will be in support of any unlawful act you do. Planets are boring with nothing to explore to excite you. The missions are repetitive and copy and paste. Everyone reuses assets, but I stepped on the same land mine, in the same location, for multiple side missions.
The game did not live up to its promise. It’s not anywhere close to being on the level of Skyrim or Fallout 3/NV/4. It definitely doesn’t have the legs that Skyrim has. It should not be a surprise to anyone that it’s lost so many players.
