Far Harbor was $24.99 USD -You had an engaging story with Nick Valentine and DiMa -21 unique side quests -3 content focused factions -15 unique weapons -About 10+ unique armors/outfits -New magazines for skills -1 Unique companion -new perks -50 unique locations -New settlement items/locations Impact on the base game Shattered Space doesn't even have half of that and it's $30 USD.....

I was very excited for SS and after finishing this morning, I can say it was not Far Harbor level. It's closer to Automatron in value The biggest surprise for me was that it DOESN'T have NEW Ship parts??!! Ummm hello???! The SS main story was good, but feel off at the last mission, felt rushed and the player agency was a mute point with the final decision, even if you are a Starborn there are no unique interactions/dialogues in SS or Vanilla when the NG+ is their gimmick...

I haven’t played it but that is the impression I got playing the base game. House Varuun was such a big presence in so much of the dialogue and story, but then there’s like one quest in their embassy and absolutely nothing else in vanilla Starfield. I was immediately skeptical. I was thinking - oh ok, you carved out this faction quest line to sell it back to us later as dlc, didn’t you, Todd? BGS used to do fantastic DLCs. You could never mistake shivering isles, dawnguard, far harbor or even some of the lesser ones like broken steel or The Pitt for sections of the base game carved up and sold back to us later. They were clearly labors of love that offered tons of new gear, contebt, quests, new assets, new powers, etc. Shattered space sounds like they’re doubling down on the “minimum viable product” concept, and it definitely should have been in the base game or at worst, 15$ not 30$.

My opinion: I’m devastated by Starfield as a whole…i’ve played over 100hrs, finished the Faction Quests hoping it would get more interesting…it didn’t. I haven’t finished the base game. Choices have no consequences, the loot is terrible, the planets are pretty much the same. The vehicle they finally added is terrible…it’s like it has bald tyres. No traction. The game was so overhyped. Nobody ever asked for 1000 boring planets. I couldn’t wait for it to be released. I’ve never been so disappointed in a game in my whole life. 😢

Are we forgetting that when starfield came out the main defence that all of the starfield fans were using was that 'the game gets good after x hours' IGN literally said it started to get good after the 60 hour mark. What do you expect lol. I've played many games all the way through that I just didnt enjoy, but did so because I wanted to enjoy them but couldnt, I'd like to enjoy starfield, but i dont, because it is a bad game which failed to learn from the criticisms of skyrim and fo4 and instead completely removed their best features while putting an emphasis on the terrible new features and those other game's weakest 😂😂

I can 100% understand why BG3 was the first game to win GOTY at all of the 5 major game awards shows last year. Unlike Starfield, it's a masterpiece of an RPG.

The main issue is BGS thinks they are still on the top of the mountain. They didnt learn anything from great RPGs that released after Skyrim and shook up the space - witcher 3, baldurs gate 3, elden ring, cyberpunk, Red Dead 2, etc. Their game design philosophy is stuck in a time capsule and Todd is too established and successful to bend. I'm seriously worried about elder scrolls 6.

The fact they claimed it's "like Far Harbor" is damning in the sense it suggests they have no idea why fans liked Far Harbor. People liked Far Harbor because it had an interesting and compelling moral conundrum. The entire DLC is basically truth vs. peace: would you rather uphold the truth, even if this can spark a conflict, or try to maintain a peace that's built on a lie - and infact - a peace that isn't even being sustained by humans...? It wasn't exploration, an eerie setting or anything like that. It was just a brief glimpse of a lead designer for that DLC who understood what Fallout was supposed to be about. (a lead designer who left the company after the completion of Starfield, btw)

I actually bought Far Harbor late because they were selling it as the locals vs. the Children of Atom, which sounds very black and white since the Children of Atom are just nuts. But the actual story is less about them and more about how they're an undeniable problem, and there's two proposed solutions: one acknowledging the truth of the matter, which will demand a war where the Children of Atom get wiped out, and another where we go for peace at any cost, but the cost is that the peace is built on a lie.

@@Longknife I think it is because they do not think much about what they are doing. When people point out continuity problems, they mock and laugh at them for caring to much. They are used to just throw an idea on the players and expect to be praised over it. That time is however over now. What is strange is that Bethesda didn't look at New Vegas and tried to understand why people liked it. What people liked about New Vegas was that all factions are well considered. They all have their reasons to be involved in the conflict. However all of them are seriously flawed. You can easily point out why all of them are bad, but you can also point out why they are good in their own way. You also have the personal backstories and quests around the companions that make you care about each one of them. But what did Bethesda learn from it? To have personal companion quests, but not all of them get one. And that there needs to be four factions, but no real conflict around each one of them. I don't think it is a mystery why Bethesda is unable to understand why people like them. They refuse to listen to people that do, and they are to incompetent to understand what they are making.

It's not the budget, it's the incentive structure. Produce the bare minimum and then sell the new weapons, quests and companions that players were first hoping to get in the base game (and then were hoping to get in the dlc), as separate individual mtx. This is why so many people were dead set against the Creation Club, it's not a matter of "don't like mtx, then don't buy them" it's the way that mtx affect the core product. Why wow players with loads of new content when you can just drip feed them that content and extract tons more money in the process.

And remember we got Fallout London this year. A fan-made complete passion project that practically feels like an entire independently made Fallout game instead of an expansion. And this mod was phenomenally well revived by the community and public. I honestly believe Bethesda is physically incapable of delivering a worth wild product or experience like they use to. Bethesda's best days are clearly behind them.

And it's a shame too because a lot of their issues stem from their awful priorities when it comes to game design. They choose to focus on the wrong things, they strip away classic RPG mechanics like in Fallout 4 or TES titles, or they set their scope way too wide like with Starfield. If Starfield didn't have 1000 planets for the sake of saying it did, and instead focused on one solar system like the Outer Worlds it would be far better.

I think the first time (and maybe one time after) I was legit surprised religion was NOT put in a bad light and used for evil in a game plot was with Ashley Williams in Mass Effect 1. It actually fleshed out her character with interesting stories, views and opinions, and I wish we saw more come from it, maybe in the form of a questline to help her kind of find herself in the universe (I sound like a Trollywood actress, I know), but sadly, we ended up with what we got in ME2 and 3. Not that it was bad, just a little wanting, I'd say.

Starfield was a cobbled project after the main MMO side of Starfield was shuttered, this is why it is full of half finished MMO mechanics rather than Single player game mechanics. Hub worlds, the exploration is set up (Think MHW but rando gen areas) Even the economy is set up for MMO. Lack of a good story is also the biggest issue, because it was clearly tacked on after a majority of the game was built (Why it feels so messy) because they needed to convert a mostly storyless MMO into a story RPG single player experience. Also why there is no NPC schedule (barring few npcs which appear to have schedule retroactively added) and why NPC's that aren't just background filler just stand in one location, why no homes exist for the dozens of npcs that wander literally 24/7

My theory is that Shattered Space was never intended to be a DLC. The game was delayed several times. This part of the game just was not ready by launch, so they decided "Hey, let's hold this back and release it as a DLC so we can get the rest of the game out." They release the main game and continue to finish this up. They hear the criticism of the main game and do some tweaking and additions to make this feel a little more full. This would explain why, in the main game, the House of Va'ruun feels so half-baked, unfinished and incomplete. There was suppose to be more and it was all held back.

I already own this DLC but I'm never reinstalling the game, I gave it enough of my time but I'm glad if some people are enjoying it. Just watching streamers run down pedestrians in New Atlantis with the REV-8 tells me that something went really wrong with the direction of this game.

That ending felt unfinished too. not really a spoiler, but you get zero lore on their beliefs, what or who the great serpent is, why they are so extreme and so devoted etc. It's all cause '1 guy said he talked to a snake god 100 years ago'. And the most important missing lore bit, in the base game the pilgrim talked about in his logs how he fought some guy and died over and over (he went in the unity so he kept fighting him in different universes) and it was strongly implied the other person was the OJ varuun founder. I expected some sort of extended lore on the unity, the interactions the founder of the house had with the pilgrim, if the snake god is actually a starborn who started a cult. My friends and I were theory crafting so hard and considering the deep lore of TES, expected some GOOD STUFF here, and we got NOTHING. ZERO. NO EXPLANATION ABOUT ANYTHING. The DLC just randomly ends. No end of DLC loot, no explanation of how things work or happened. and NO CHOICES. It's the same ending no matter what. This was INSANELY BAD just from a lore perspective. In fallout 4, at least the crazies (children of atom) you have unexplained magical effects like radiation not hurting you, and a womens voice whispering to you. That could make you a believer even if it's not explained. In starfield? Do we have a snake talking to us, or some magical powers? Nope. Everything was SPOILERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR a science project gone wrong, experimenting with grav drive tech to move people into a state of limbo like existence. How does that make people worship a serpent god? There's nothing moving them to the cult. The children of atom, she (the voice) talks to you, guides you, makes you powerful somehow. It's enough to hook people into worshipping... I expected the first intro quest to at least let us interact with the snake god somehow during initiation. Or hear him talk to you or give you orders. There was NOTHING.

the tech itself is "magical", like the starborn powers. The Varuun experiment goes wrong exactly because they don't know how the grav drive exactly works. And... you can make science with magic, like in TES. The Grav Drive was only invented due to "magical thoughts"

In the last area you find 3-4 audio logs scattered around on a desk. If you listen to them you find out the leader that started the whole "Great Serpent" thing was just a nerd that no one respected before and he got in an accident and had a mental break/fever dream after. He then doubled down on it saying it was real after a previous log made it clear he knew it wasn't, just to get respect.

The thing that sucks most for me as a huge Bethesda fan, is I find myself TRYING to be excited and positive for starfield. I had heaps of fun in my first playthrough, but once you recognize the boring design it's just.. Over... Shattered Space dropped and I TRIED to be excited for it. I just wasn't. Then I popped it on with the intention of taking everything in, only to be met with conversations so dry and bland and boring. I started skipping dialogue then snapped out of my personal dilusion and turned the game off. I don't think ill ever finish it, but hopefully oneday... I want to? Edit: Currently re-downloading fallout 4

Same for me. I keep turning it off and then go do something else. Super disappointed. Super boring and painfully bland. Does anyone at BGS play any modern games? Anyone? Do they not compare themselves to other similar games? Are they not fans of games or just into smelling their own farts? Seems insane and incompetent to me. This feels so outdated and clunky. Characters are horrible and pointless. Big double thumbs down. They seem out of touch and full of hubris from success 15 years ago.

My spin that I came away with is Shattered Space is intriguing, but not really exciting. It's vivid and palatable aesthetically, but not much else. You're 100% correct on character depth and dialogue. I brought Andreja along expecting some very active reaction, but there was little to none. A huge oversight.

I do wish Andreja had more involvement since she’s my wife in game. The environment and story is pretty cool so far. I guess im just slow. and the length wouldnt be issue if it wasnt a year later and part of a $30 set. I got at launch with a steelbook patch early access and the 1000 creation club credits so wasnt as bad for me but it is odd that its been this long after release and this is all we got.

At this point I think it's a problem with the people in charge. Starfield feels absolutely devoid of creativity and soul. It doesn't have good enough ideas, let alone a decent execution of mediocre ideas, to even justify its existence. The DLC again proves that Bethesda doesn't have a vision for this game.

Thanks for the heads up. Personally it sounds like they have given up on the property. I think they will need a cyberpunk 2.0 free update moment. I am a lover of Bethesda from the moment I picked up Arena but what is not happening here with Starfield, which saw the potential and enjoyed the base game. But with what they are doing to not update Fallout or show customers they care about changing Starfield. It breaks my heart but unless they show they care about their products beyond this I will wait for future games to release before I buy them. The only thing I will start at release is the TV show they seemed to atleast care about the products and have a passion to have good storytelling
