cutscenes of a ship taking off rather than an interactive first person view

Docking is more egregious. It's not even hiding a loading screen, it's just wasting our time so things like the CF/SysDef back and forth take longer.

and the same dull and lifeless NPC “AI” (I use that term very generously given recent advances) as we saw in older Bethesda titles.

It's worse IMO, NPCs don't seem to have schedules anymore. Which is kind of okay, my least favorite thing in Skyrim was shops being closed because there's no "fast travel and arrive in the morning" option, but they feel a lot less alive when they stand in one place forever.

About lack of schedules, at least for shops, there's a very easy solution: have a second NPC for the night shift, sharing the same inventory. That way the shop stays open 24h and the npcs can still have some downtime.
