I gotta say the deep dive gave me more of the same vibe as the base game, exploration among disparate peoples. BUT THIS TRAILER! No dialog, no exposition, just an excellent classic tragedy joining the faith saved them as refugees and killed them as zealots. The faith was the mothers tragic flaw, bringing her and her child to salvation, then damning them all to some end unknown. Whoever writes these little animations should get a raise Edit: upon playing this dlc, i must regretfully retract my faith from the bgs writting team. I can honestly say i enjoyed this game more before this dlc. I am truly sorry bethesda, but if this is the quality you are capable of, i hope elder scrolls 6 never comes out.

[@Scantronacon]

at the end of the day Bethesda gets GOATED becasue these people can tell immersive stories. Period.

@@Scantronacon Bethesda stories always stand the test of time, they don't go for flashy so they don't burn out quick like their competition.

[@primrose97]

I unfortunately agree with you. This little animation short had more emotion and storytelling than the entire DLC. When finishing the main story of Shattered Space your left saying “that’s it?”. No impact in the Settled Systems (in game) and no impact in Va’rrun Kai besides a few flags hung up. Your choices simply do not matter. House Va’rrun was one of the most interesting factions in the whole game and now that mysterious element they had is gone and replaced with just a crazy cult with no rhyme or reason to why they do the things they do.

@@baneblackguard584 It kinda seems like that but I honestly think it’s the event that occurred a few weeks prior to us arriving there. The Vortex incident I think they called it in the deep dive. I mainly think this because the capital /temple building is consumed by the Vortex.

[@JayTraversJT]

I may have some criticisms toward Starfield but these shorts were certianly never one of em. Lovely little hook.

[@FireStarShadow]

Agreed

[@Li-Fu7]

My issue with them is they honestly have so much more personality than the actual game. It's sad, tbh

[@thomoclock]

the thing about starfield is that all the interesting bits of the story happened before the game started. don't understand why we're playing a game with basically no plot apart from collect the mcguffins because. this animated short is cool but again, wouldn't it be cooler if this is something you experienced in-game?

[@piccoloatburgerking]

@@thomoclock That's true, but i think they did it to set up a whole host of events to act as established lore first, remember this is a brand new IP with no existing lore so some stuff had to be pre-established. With Shattered Space i think we're getting into the phase where they build up on all that lore and fill out the world.

[@AVTPersia]

Super intrigued to see the mother smile after "presumably" dying to save her child. All the oroboros symbolism, and acceptance of death that seems to characterize the V'aruun can make for something REALLY interesting about dealing with loss failure and regret. recently watched Anihilation and I hope those themes can come into the game, much like how themes from 2001 showed up in the base game. You can keep your alien civilizations, gaming has enough of those. Now, a philosophical space game? I can't get enough of that. Hopefully the writing here has more evolved ideas to think about than the way they played with transhumanism and existentialism in the base game.

[@thewhizbang]

Omg yes another one!!! I thought this was thing of the past!

[@thewhizbang]

Wow, the mother was assimilated into the Great Serpent, the Unity…

@@sattm8230 very true, but some people like rom coms for the happy endings, not how good the story was. Im kinda like that for heady stuff, even if it's philosophy 101 tier.

Like no bullet animations for hitting water or no explosion with grenades..

Honestly this is one of the main reasons I love Bethesda games. They genuinely do a great job of at least making cultures and religion interesting. Like the Elder Scrolls series has interesting races, cultures, religions, etc. Even the Bethesda fallouts give us some cool stuff like the Mothman Cult, Children of Atom, Institute, etc. Starfield has interesting culture, religion, etc. like the UC is much more federal, bureaucratic than the Freestar collective, Freestar Collective is much more lose, much different from each other, Akila is more Wild West, Neon is more corporate heavy, Hopetown is basically a company town. Varuun is way more theocratic and cult like. Like they have their flaws but majority of Bethesda titles have much better world building than people give them credit for. Like yes they aren’t the “Tolkien” of modern video games but at least they elves are different culturally from each other.
