Phantom Libery was like a spy thriller man. That whole sequence when you first enter Dogtown and subsequent plane crash and stuff is better than what's Hollywood has been doing for the last decade. It's a pretty high bar. Shadow of the Eardrtree was on par with the best stuff From ever did in terms of DLC so yeah, Bethesda's loading screen simulator is not in the same galaxy as these two.

I found it unacceptable that Andreja had no involvement in anything when I brought her with me. Bringing Nick to Far Harbor opened up new avenues of background information about Nick and greater context on what was going on in Far Harbor. Andreja should have done exactly the same.

Barely, I just finished the DLC with her the whole time (as my wife) in the home we now have on her home planet and she made no comment on it. But when some scientists are yapping about the data slates I need to go collect she made sure to chime in. Total Fail.

I can confirm she barely comments on anything, I have a feeling her lines are pretty much what any other character would say most times with the slight variations depending on the actual character with you. Overall the dlc is just more Starfield, bland, depressing, boring & a bit of a chore to play.

I finished Shattered Space a couple of days ago. Overall, it’s a good DLC. 8/10 for me. I wanted more lore on va’arun & I definitely got that. The convoluted political structure of this cult and the slow reveal of the speakers sinister plans was well done. Plus some of the side quests and other locations had me hooked. My main nitpicks: we needed more unique weapons/armor, Andreja needed to say more, this DLC should be $15, and I wish we had a cool spaceship battle. Also yeah I joined this crazy cult but I didn’t fully commit to it. Actually I mocked it [They hated that] lol 😂.

[@user-ow1bc4sx2r]

@@ValkbgI think far harbor is the most fair comparison. Same price point in a modern Bethesda game. Most of the other things we can compare to are not very useful, because the philosophy behind dlc and pricing has changed, and different studios approach it in very different ways. If a studio is giving us a less substantial expansion at the same price point as their last big dlc, that’s worth criticizing. Either lower the price or cook it for longer. People will complain if they get a worse product at the same price

Great review, thanks. I was personally disappointed by the lack of new Va'Ruun ship parts and as you've said about the quantity of new items/armors (the new clothing in particular are very good looking). The Va'Ruun aesthetics in general is so damn good and unique in Starfield that they should have added as many items to it as possible, and I'd love to display those aesthetics on my ship - especially since my first character is going all in on his Va'Ruun conversion.

[@baitposter]

Now if only the whole game were built around this sci-fan premise in a larger (Shivering Isles scale, at least) sandbox. Would've done better to hide Emil's terrible writing sensibilities, too. This is just making me want a Prey open world game.

My character pulled out some fancy Cicero thing from her [PROFESSOR] background, and I didn't really fully realize that until now. My excitement started off super high with the spacestation, then cratered with the whole long high council blah blah blah stuff. But as I've been playing more, slowly completing more side quests, and slowly exploring more, I'm regaining some of that initial enthusiasm. But yes--the $30 price is an absurd asking price when you compare it to the surrounding market. Todd, your dialogue isn't THAT freaking good!!!

[@andrewlewis2123]

@@si_w8201 that’s true, inflation and the current price of AAA games could be a cause for why they set the price where they did. With that said, the indie scene has blown up in the intervening years, too; games are no longer just automatically $50-60, and you can now find a lot of great AA or indie games for $20 or less. So while it may not be totally fair to compare old prices with new prices, there could be a whole separate conversation on what is worth $30 in the current gaming market. I haven’t played Starfield, personally - reviews and gameplay demos have turned me off of it for now. So I can’t judge the quality or value myself. Even so, I can’t help but raise my eyebrows a bit when I see a $30 DLC from Bethesda, when in the past we’ve gotten more content for less from them, and arguably still can get more value for less from other games/devs.

If you are a BGS Fan you would be disappointed with Starfield, compare this one with Skyrim and Fallout 4 DLCS, literally any of them... it falls short and flat in comparison, like, 2 new guns and a few reskins, no ship parts, no new companion, no armor, no new mechanic added to the base game, even Far Harbor had A LOT of lore, guns, companions, and factions to discover and a huge area to explore, so yes, it`s very much bland in comparison to BGS previous work, especially 1 year after the base game was released, and indeed, they will make you sound like an idiot for buying and enjoying the game, it doesn`t worth the asking price but hey it`s your money, FIFA ultimate team makes billions every year so the fool and it`s money are easy to separate and there are no shortage of fools. BTW people are calling this DLC the Shattered Space Bar, there's so much boring dialogue that all you wanna do is skip it to the good portions, also none of the choices matter, A or B route is the exact result, like the only difference is who is saying the voiceline and it`s the exact voiceline, you can test yourself, not even the "Story line" has any impact of meaning, the only thing that this DLC offered is pointless. Another quick cash grab from BGS, it didn`t work though, more people playing Skyrim Ultimate Edition than Starfield + DLC on the day of release, BGS knows this game is a flop, Xbox knows this game is a flop, they are relying on mods to keep it alive, instead of fixing themselves they double it and pass to the next person, soon you`ll be paying $5 for each quest that a modder somewhere made it themselves, not even BGS.

If it comes on (A very good) sale at some point, I'll buy it, but half a game's price for ten or so hours that you'll play once without anything to enhance the rest of the game is just a bit ridiculous. Thanks for this review, Mort, I appreciate it.

[@skysix5733]

I “liked”. I’m already subscribed. I’ll never play this game, and I’ll damn sure never 100% any game. I appreciate the video.

[@CarlMinx]

Thanks for your level headed insight.

[@TysonD916]

At 30 I was hoping for way more content. Make there more things to do on other planets. Give us weekly challenges or something

[@Victor-wi7vr]

Shattered Space looks great, but it's not the DLC I was personally hoping for. I was hoping for an update to the exploration mechanics, as that's the game's biggest weakness. I'll still play it, but not at launch. Let's see what Bethesda has in store for us in 2025.

[@Skegfromcraigslist]

Nothing good

[@bananana5714]

Still waiting for the game to be done with updates and dlc so I can buy it and mod everything about it

[@nyx2903]

I had over 100 hours in Starfield but I don't think this dlc is worth re-installing the game for. I never liked any of the snake appreciaters, so a dlc focussed on their faction already puts me off. Settlement building as in Fallout 4, that would bring me back. New ships would bring me back. Snake-Appreciaters though? Nope. I hated every one of them in the base game. I do not pay this much money just to be bothered by even more of them. The 3 snake-appreciaters the base game has are already more than enough for me.

[@babyyodacamaro]

Any new ship parts?

[@ImKingRs]

Mort, steam are doing a turn based RPG sale. WIll you do a video on it? I am deciding between buying Pathfinder WOTR or warhammer 40k. worried about skill ceiling for pathfinder as I have only played BG3 and I am not great at it. I want to buy divinity OS2 but it isn't on sale.

[@josephcruz8797]

Pathfinder will destroy you if you're not good at BG3

[@ImKingRs]

@@josephcruz8797 I bought it and I’m playing on casual

[@TheR6R6R]

As someone with 1500+ hours on D:OS2, *get it*. Eventually. I'm into experimenting with builds and character ideas, so D:OS2 is perfect for me. Base game with no mods is already good enough, but with mods you pretty much have the most flexible character build system in any CRPG, probably only matched by a Legend mythic in WotR. Pathfinder has configurable difficulty (like BG3), so you can slowly warm up to the rules before approaching the harder difficulties. Keep in mind that WotR has a long, *long* campaign. I have hundred of hours in that and I still haven't seen the ending, mostly because of 'restartitis' though. I'd say it's easier to transfer what you know from BG3 to Pathfinder than to Rogue Trader.

[@MortismalGaming]

Maybe, havent decided yet

[@UsuAli1]

Great review! 👍 - Bad DLC👎

[@Joseph-wh5of]

You're comment doesn't make sense, he said in his review that enjoyed the DLC, but it was just over price. How can it be a great review but a bad DLC?

[@UsuAli1]

@@Joseph-wh5of It's just my opinion. You can still like the game and DLC, if you enjoy the time spent playing them.

[@reniorjd]

Going to wait for a sale.

[@WhiteZet1]

Well this sounds disappointing. Seems it's just a new location but with practically no new content. I kind of expected this to be like that, since essentially it seems like cut content, but according to some comments I see: No new ship parts or companion + only a couple weapons & armors. That is actually even below my expectations.

[@mattc7420]

This is a whole new planet with new plot 🤡

[@WhiteZet1]

@@mattc7420 By location I did mean all the plot that comes with it. & whatever space stations. I just mean this DLC literally feels like cut content with how much this house varuun was mentioned base game. And well, they didn't add any new gameplay mechanics. Not even some that are like base game relevant, such as space ship parts. Like they didn't do the bare minimum properly.

[@rogerwilco5918]

I'll wait for it to go on sale

[@GRIMHOOD99]

I wouldn't even compare it with Phantom Liberty (lot of people in a comments do because of price) but even compared to some other DLCs bethesda made in last 20 years (Dawnguard, Dragonborn, Far Harbour) this is pathetic for that price.

[@armelior4610]

At least it's better value for money than the Oblivion horse armor ?

[@JazzzRockFuzion]

While I'm a huge fan of Mortym, you all have to keep in mind that he *does this for a living* . The guy shotguns games to get content out as quickly as possible. I've been playing for four/five hours and have barely scratched the surface; It's deep, lore-rich, densely packed and seems very story & POI rich. Heck, I thought the opening space station sequence was quite deep and entertaining. I find myself being constantly sidetracked by non-essential quests, etc. just like in classic BGS fashion!

[@Holdthetomatoesplz]

I haven't played Shattered Space yet so I'll reserve my judgements until then, but I appreciate that you can enjoy the game instead of jumping onto the engagement bandwagon of shitting on the game and bethesda

[@TheRetifox]

@@Holdthetomatoesplz The classic toxic positivity mindset

[@Holdthetomatoesplz]

@@TheRetifox I’d much rather be one “toxically positive” person amongst 90% generic comments shitting on a video game they never needed to buy or even remotely engage with than the other way around

[@TheR6R6R]

​@@HoldthetomatoesplzThank you and amen to that. I understand the warranted criticisms towards BGS, but boy does the hate get unnecessarily spicy sometimes.

[@PraxisAbraxis]

How's it compare to, say, Morrowind's expansion sizes? I can't remember for sure if tribunal was 20, but I know Bloodmoon was 30. I was just thinking of this more in line with 'expansion' than 'dlc' You do make it sound like it lacks enough expansion, though, again. How does it compare with past Bethesda expansions, and at their price points?

[@t-rexreximus359]

I’m disappointed we don’t get new full Companions/ romance options! (Like the Constellation ones, with affinity/ loyalty quests, but with more diverse morality)

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Unfortunately Constellation really sets the tone for Bethesda. Everything is extra sterile and safe. Fallout 4 gave you new options with both Far Harbor and Nuka World, with the latter being a raider. But here? The thing is that it didn't even have to be a Zealot, it could have been one of the other houses and been fine.

[@TheNotSoLoneWanderer]

When I recruited the first companion in this game, he went on about how he's mostly retired and kinda lazy and didn't really want to do much but he was okay with a gun. It made me stop and think about the cast of Fallout: New Vegas and wonder if they were trying to make their own Raul Tejada, but instead of his dry sarcasms, wisdom, and extraordinary backstory, they have a guy who just feels like he should have simply asked for a ride somewhere instead of running around with the player.

[@neatoburrito9045]

Sounds like it’s gonna be a little while longer before I go back to Starfield. Maybe they’ll be some top notch mods that entice me.

[@viisovari4544]

For me it seems like Bethesdas trying to squeeze the last bit of €€ out of Starfield that is somehow possible with the left ressources they got before moving on

[@Resistantkillers]

Kinda feel like price tag is make up for the people that are playing it on game pass that didn’t do the upgrade or preordered it

I finished it last night and thought it was alright (Got it for free in a GPU promo lol), but hearing it costs $30 had me like WTF, especially if you compare it to their previous DLCs.
