I filmed this last night and have since finished more of the side content and quests. My opinion is unchanged. It's a very low effort DLC, and calling it an expansion is a stretch, especially when considering the competition like Shadow of the Erdtree, Phantom Liberty, or even Far Harbor. I don't know how this took them a YEAR to make, and charging $30 is only a good value when you remember they charge $5-$7 for individual quest DLCs through 'Creations.' Some people are claiming there are 2 new habs and at least one new follower to be found, but I haven't gotten any of it to work for me. I don't know if this is a bug or if they're just mistaken about those being in the DLC. Regardless, it's clearly not a major part of the DLC if there's debate about their existence, even for those who have finished it. But don't just believe me, check out their own Subreddit and see what Starfield fans are saying about it: www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/1ftf9rw/this_is_a_surprisingly_lukewarm_reaction_to/

New area, new weapons and armor. Even if the new stuff didn’t break 3-5 in armor and weapons categories, still, 2 weapons per dlc when we got four is crazy.

[@gabestadler8865]

*Spoilers* My biggest issue with Shattered Space isn’t the just the retextured guns and outfits even though that’s just lazy and the ‘expansion’ only took a few hours to finish it. My biggest issue is what Bethesda told us, we will be faced with CHOICES that determine the fate of House Varrun. We don’t determine anything because if we choose the bad ending we die and guess what… we have to reload to our latest save! So we can’t choose a bad ending or anything. We have to choose to stop House Varrun even if we would like another war. Well once that is done, they need a new speaker and laugh at us if we would like to be the speaker. And we can also determine if they will have a second serpents crusade, but guess what happens if we choose that option… nothing again. There’s no big choices or consequences at all. There is only one ending. And they let you make these ‘big decisions’ like who will rule over them and if they will go to war again, but those big decisions don’t impact anything at all.

[@MrGriak]

I was hoping Andreja would have more dialogue in this update because she's my favorite companion. I was hoping it would be something like Far Harbor with Nick Valentine. I haven't finished the dlc, but I've gotten pretty far in, and I have been really disappointed at the lack of extra lines besides a few here and there. I feel like coming back to your homeland where previously you never thought you could return would be a huge moment for most people, but apparently, Bethesda thought otherwise.

[@Silver_Warden]

Well, it's made by the same folks who decided that finding your long lost son in Fallout 4 - the importance of which they wouldn't shut up about for the entirety of that game's storyline - doesn't even warrant ANY sort of reaction or comment from the vast majority of your companions, including the guy who helped you track your missing son down in the first place. Bethesda is very good at making these sorts of narrative decisions.

[@SpliffyHusk]

Literally every questline/ area in starfield is just some other scifi story DONE WORSE. It's unbelievable that a billion dollar company can't just hire a couple of writers to make the entire thing 100x better. Did Emil Pagliarulo earn his job for life by saving a bunch of files from a burning building or something? What the fuck

[@8888UNIVERSE8888]

He is Todd's friend. He was a pupil of Ken Rolston if I recall correctly and everything Emil wrote for TES 4 was basically rearranged from sources of his teacher - Rolston. By the time of TES 5 Skyrim and Fallout 4 Bethesda has already had some good writers in their team, especially in one that created Far Harbor (ironically, but Will Shen , the head of Far Harbor dev team, ALSO left the studio with the LAST TES series father - Kurt Kuhlman). But somehow Emil is one of the most protected (by Todd) ignoramus in the history of Game Dev. Nevertheless there are more fundamental problems with Bethesda Game Studios than Emil...

[@abrahambobst4602]

@@SergenteHartman97 Not really, Will Shen said in interview or some other related content that there was no communication going on between the teams and said they half-assed the ending of the main story.

You also gotta be fair that Elden Ring has a smart development process of repurposing old mechanics/textures/models to save on development time and cost. The same thing Luke here commented on for Bethesda reusing a vfx from Skyrim. If people are mad about reskins then I wouldn’t use elden ring, I love Elden Ring so this ain’t hate. I don’t care if they reuse enemies from previous games, they have such a huge roster of new enemies so just adding more is a bonus.

The whole game is so bland and this DLC is no exception. It's a sci fi universe whereby there's only humans (without any interesting mystery/politics), and Earth has been destroyed by human hubris. Makes me want to fall asleep man. I got baited and bought the deluxe version but even I just can't be bothered playing the DLC, nothing about it at all seems interesting. Looking at the player numbers i'm not alone, there was about a 5k player spike, compare that to Cyberpunk which had a 250k player spike after its DLC.

[@davidrenton]

you nailed it with that 1 word BLAND. It's techically better than any TES/Fallout game. the towns are more detailed, it's more polished, it's graphically the best looking and at least for me the least buggy. But the world is of no interest , the quests are a checklist for XP to get a Skill that is of little point Loot you don't care about, encounters that are near identical Where the previous TES/Fallout games where like an interesting relationship, each meeting you looked forward, it's was fun, unpredictable, emotional starfield is like a 40 year marriage, where you have nothing to talk about, you can't stand the sight of each other and just waiting till it's all over

I can tell that they tried to emulate Far Harbor from Fallout 4 in this DLC. But, well, whatever made Far Harbor interesting isn't present here. It really is just the classic "Oh please player, please save us from the calamity that unfolded recently and navigate milquetoast politics!" that you'd expect from Bethesda at this point. In Far Harbor, it was made interesting by you having the ability to shape the future of the island, and tying a few loose ends in the plot, like why the fuck Nick Valentine even is. There was also a clear "us vs them" aspect between the factions and it delved into more existential themes with the synths. But Shattered Space? None of that shit is present here. You're just paying for more of the same fucking game.

Definitely NOT a Carbon copy of Event Horizon btw, a movie i know very well. The only thing that's similar is an abandoned space vessel with "something" strange going on inside, and thats only the first 45 mins of the dlc. Literally everything else is nothing like Event Horizon. Very false representation.

[@2138Dude]

I finished it but the last hour I was FORCING myself. Provided that tne questline took just a bit less than 4 hours. Also did a couple of sides. It's just as boring, the dialogues are writen by ChatGPT. The "new" weapons and armors being blatant RECOLORS of vanilla guns were the final stop for me. After ending the final quest I uninstalled this game and 100 mods I had. No amount of mods is going to save this crap

[@Otyrr]

You walking around, it looks like the just recreated Big MT in Starfield 😂

[@DanielSan1776]

if only the quality was that level Big MT (Old World Blues) is one of my favorite DLC's ever cant believe we don't have a genocidal toaster.

And made it worse, what a surprise.

[@HeroVibes]

I loved the base game. Over 1,000 hours on both PC and Xbox. I jumped into the expansion, loved the opening mission and everything after the ship was just... mid.

[@emilymschoener9193]

Agreed. I was underwhelmed by Vulcan.

First Bethesda DLC that's come out in over 15 years that I didn't even know it released. And I'd already bought it. Sad, Bethesda, sad.

It blows me away how disappointing this game has been

[@waldo2543]

Lmao when he started talking about them doing a thing that would remind you of a movie my brain instantly asked "did they event horizon it?" was not disappointed.

[@ZeroReaper42]

It's a faction quest. $30 for a faction quest that offers little to nothing. Yeah, I got no hope for Elder Scrolls VI. Bethesda fell off.

[@everett926]

Saying that it feels like a paid mod tells me everything I need to know. Sufficed to say, I won't be redownloading Starfield

[@purpledevilr7463]

The story was precisely what I wanted from the main game. And the exploration worked perfectly. It doesn’t feel like it should be a DLC. But rather just part of the Game. But it was good. I like it. I was happy to play through it.

[@jfkst1]

Anyone paying BGS premium prices for their decade lagging content deserves to be ripped off.

If I wanted to play something like Event Horizon, i'd play Dead Space.

Remember Bethesda's new dev motto. Minimum Acceptable Effort. I.e. Just do the bare minimum that players will accept. No max effort.

[@_Zer0Gr4vity_]

Should I blame CDPR for increasing my expectations when it comes to expansions? Would it seem this lackluster even without comparing it to Blood and Wine or Phantom Liberty?

[@cerdic6305]

Yeah I think it would. Honestly in my opinion it’s about the level of Automatron from Fallout 4, but you have to sit through about 10 times as much boring dialogue.

[@Mmachine88]

I'm having a blast with the game, definitely worth the $30 imo

It just lacks the personality fallout and skyrim have, they just have quirkiness and everything, this is just beige all around.

[@alex0marshall3]

What are they thinking? I don’t want to come up with assumptions, mostly I have questions. Are they giving up. I don’t think they’re lazy. I hear game developers are hard working. Does Microsoft just want to squeeze money out of bethesda. Do they not care about their reputation and competitiveness. Same with Ubisoft who making mediocre games. Do they not care about one day going out of business.

[@ZhangWei5]

I enjoy Starfield but this definitely wasn't worth $30. Its basically a paid mod. Should've been a free update or just included in the base game, especially since you can finish it in like 6 hours.

[@Balorian]

Clearly Bethesda no longer has the quality people on their teams and HR has other characteristics in mind for replacing that talent. Looking at this and thinking of the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC I can't believe they wanted more than $10 for this. Insane the quality drop from these guys, Uibisoft, Bioware and others.

[@0o-0o694]

Honestly I tired the game. But I couldn't get past how bad the facial animations, graphics, gameplay, optimization and lack of any coherent story. Bethesda needs to be shutdown.

[@dudebruh8534]

Their minds are still stuck in the early 2000s. If you haven't played a Bethesda game since Skyrim than you haven't missed much other than updated graphics. And graphics doesn't make a game good sadly for them.

[@iforgot87872]

People’s excitement about the possible demise of all of these single player developers saddens me.

30$ for THIS? you could get the cyberpunk dlc for the same or add 10$ to get the elden ring dlc. ffs bethesda...

[@parisgrayson1513]

I did enjoy the DLC mainly because I like the Va’Ruun but it lacks a lot of content. Obviously major spoilers coming up. . . . There is a severe lack of content overall aside from the main story. Most of the “new” weapons are entirely reskins from guns already in the game. No new ship parts or vehicles. The biggest thing I hated, and spoilers for the end of the DLC, you cannot choose to go through with the villains plan. You are FORCED to fight him. If you chose to go with his plan you will be forced to ether fight him or die and reload a save. That really pissed me off. In addition, the most interesting aspects of the story aren’t explored. The “Vortex” which is the space between universes is a huge aspect of the DLC that isn’t explored much.

[@MyZ001]

Just remember that M$/Xbox main reason for buying BGS is cause Sony was trying to make Starfield a Sony exclusive... I guess M$ should've let them just have that one😂

[@LichRC]

The more I watch videos regarding Starfield, the more I'm worried about Elder Scrolls VI. What kind of horrible buggy abortion of a game is it going to be? I feel luck I didn't fall for Starfield,even if I've never felt the slightest curiosity towards it. I keep following the game discourse flow because I'm desperate to find a glimpse of hope towards the future of ES VI, some promising little details, some interesting concepts, even if badly executed... but till now, I'm finding only bad omens.

[@MadameCirce]

Okay, wait... I HAVE seen Event Horizon and I'm incredibly confused and curious while pondering how far this expansion goes in ripping it off. Surely just the beginning of the movie is copied and not the rest of the movie. Because, uh, that would be quite a weird direction for Starfield to go in...

[@FalloutTributeMusic]

Great.. More underwhelming Bethesda Content. Elder Scrolls 6 future looking very grim!
