Starfield |OT| You're Finally Awake... In Space!

Your mileage may vary. I love this expansion. It may be on the shorter side but it’s sweet and they put a lot of love and care into it.

For the avoidance of doubt I wouldnt want to sour others enjoyment of this. Its just massively missed the mark for me personally. I like Starfield a lot, I have beaten it three times now but this DLC hasnt met my own expectations.

Im glad you have enjoyed it - dont let my negativity on it cloud your own judgement (not that you were anyway)

I don’t know if it’s because of Phantom Liberty and Shadow of The Erdtree being the last dlc’s that I bought but this is shockingly underwhelming for its price tag?

I personally don’t mind because the early access component was worth the price to me but I would have a hard time recommending this to friends who were on the fence at this price.

One last note, it’s an utter shame that Bethesda won’t get its flowers for the generational leap they made in terms of their graphics. After playing FO4 to jumping back into this for the dlc only highlights it even more.

Phantom Liberty cost 100m and was made to try and save the IP

If you can explain what for you was missing for it to be good, I would appreciate it.

I really like that you slowly uncover how the Varuuns live, what happen to them and how they deal with the consequences, as their culture is so outlandish but really interesting. It’s a melting pot of so many Sci-fi tropes but it so unique in a way, just like Morrowind was so out there as a fantasy setting when it came out.

Great context but it ultimately doesn’t matter for most people.

And those games havent patched in free visual updates, free quests, and free brand new mechanics. At most, CP77 added some visual modes for free.

Who cares what people choose to think about Starfield? They already mostly flame and lie, so we should ignore them and operate in the truth ourselves. If you didn’t like it, then thats unfortunate.

I mean I care about what my friends think? lol.

I don’t care for what random people think. They’ve already made up their minds on Starfield.

I haven’t seen any of the other reviews other than XboxEra, but I did see Matty’s summary and I didn’t expect that from him. It’s his opinion of course, but I guess I somehow expected that he would have digged it.

At the end of the day it doesn’t matter one bit, what matters is what you think of it. I’ll find out eventually. Have so much left to do in the base game as it is.

It has been odd. People, like Paul Tassi, who loved the base game but have since completely flipped on it after people on the internet brow beat them for over a year. “It’s more of the base game and not transformative”, but you liked the base game, so how is that a bad thing?

Seems like the new teir of weapons superior are bugged.

there are superior weapons? how are they bugged?

@Kals_Els

Just something i saw on the main sub. People arent sure, but there is superior armour, with weapons from data mining that might be mislabed as advanced.

We will see in the coming days

Superior armor has existed already, from what I remember not many suits are superior though, from the base game Explorer, Trackers and Bounty hunter could be found in superior. Currently I have 3 Va’Ruun variants with the superior tag in my inventory and 2 of them are named differently but have no differences between them while one looks like the base game Va’Ruun suit with white stripes on it.

Weapons I haven’t seen at all, but the blade weapons are dropping in advance, which is strange because none of the base game weapons have that tag. They generally have their own classification, but I can see this as Bethesda deciding to bring everything under one classification to make it easier. But so far, the highest hitting weapon I have is a Pain Blade and it’s labeled: Extruded, not advanced.

Wait, so he liked the base game but then folks got him to change his mind on it?

There have been multiple people who gave the base game a great score and said the DLC isn’t good enough because it didn’t “fix all the problems with the base game”.

Strange shit all around when it comes to this game, that’s for sure.

It seems Matty at least kinda keeps it consistent I guess. Iirc he did like the base game, but clearly mentioned what he thought was wrong too.

I also saw this. And I believe he was kinda down on the game when it launched, sounds like he digged this.

It’s not all negative.

[Kals_Els]

Just did 2 side quest which were just about the talking

and dang, they hit kind of hard for me. I can’t really relate to the characters, as it’s not something that I have any real experience with, but they were all bittersweet endings.

Another quest I’ve done was a lot of actions and shed some light on a new enemy type, has me wondering if maybe I should have lied, because the character I help with the quest seems depressed.

Anyways back to the action with another side quest taking me out of the city and no need to read my light spoiler stuff.

Up there with some of the dumbest takes I’ve seen.

[Kals_Els]

Every fight ends with me bleeding, in pain, irradiated, burnt, a cough and with an infection.

I’m very glad I prioritized the rejuvenation, I just need to get almost killed 6 more times and heal to get it to max level

Atleast we can put to rest the ridiculous Cyberpunk comparisons in terms of “redeeming” itself to rest.
