Nope, I don't remember the FO4 interface that well, but I do remember not actively loathing it.
Overall I can't recommend SF.
It is (in parts) excellent and it can look stunning. However the fetch and kill/find missions become boring and repetitive quickly. Waiting, watching a clock tick down, necessary to have vendors refresh their money so that you can sell the loot, is tedious as well as faintly insulting. The myriad of exact-duplicate cookie-cutter 'deserted' bases, with duplicate minor-tasks, carpeted generously pretty-much everywhere you land, simply beggars belief. The psycopathic tedndencies of the carnivore fauna is tedious. Space flight is considerably less free-roam and much less fun than in NMS - although, 'on the plus side', it becomes largely optional. Hiding numerous aspects to the game behind a largely arbitary player-level-number is (to me) ridiculous, increasing cargo cpacity simply by finding a magazine seems... well...
...I could go on... \o/
