Starfield steam page for the DLC currently shows eight user review score of 41%, making this one of the worst Bethesda DLC’s released of all time. This is so horribly, shockingly bad for Bethesda, because it shows as a gaming company, they are no longer capable of delivering a really good gaming experience as they had in the past. Some of the reviews sum up quite nicely what is wrong with this DLC…

Less content than any skyrim DLC. Less than The Fallout 4 story DLCs. Doesn’t change of the complaints people had with the base game, writing is still at a 4th grade level.

Quick: If you are looking to buy my answer is no, you aren’t missing much content. I was really hoping to enjoy this DLC. Took about 4 hours for the main story and maybe 2 more hours to 100% the achievements.

These two reviews I think really summed up what Starfield has become, $70 for an AAAA title that has extremely little buy-in from the community, horrifically low amount of replayability and can be breezed through easily. It’s mind-boggling to see this

    Bethesda was obviously already toast to anyone paying attention when Fallout '76 came out. They certainly haven’t improved since.

    …And I can’t believe that these are the motherfuckers who own the rights to Doom now.

      Thankfully, they’re not the ones who develop Doom. They can publish it all they want as long as they stay the hell away from the actual games.

        He didn’t say that. Might want to reread what it’s saying, instead of what you think he’s saying.

          he’s saying “they” haven’t improved since 76 came out. i don’t know what else he could possibly mean by that, especially since 76 itself has improved immensely since coming out

            “they” haven’t improved in that they still put out shit games; They’ve improved 76 yes, but they still put out crap too.

            “Bethesda hasn’t improved since Fallout '76 was released”

            Make sense now?

                So Bethesda is good because Starfield might be worth playing 10 years after it was released? You’re obviously not understanding the point here.

                It doesn’t matter that they improved '76 after the fact. It matters that they keep releasing top dollar garbage that needs years of work after the fact to even be playable.

                Like imagine if you bought a brand new car that broke down immediately after you drove it off the lot. You take it back to them and they tell you “We understand you’re disappointed, so if we get time we’ll fix it for you and should have it back to you in a year or two.” Are you going to be satisfied with no car and no money for that long? Does it really make it better if they do actually fix it at some undetermined point in the future?

                  very convinient line of thinking for you

                  “76 doesnt count because it got better after release”

                  i bet you still hate on cyberpunk and no mans sky to this day, and curse those devs every night, right?

                    Is that my “line of thinking” when I never said anything of the sort? I don’t think so.

                    I’ve never played Cyberpunk 2077 nor No Man’s Sky and have zero opinion on them, but you bringing them up out of nowhere as some sort of ‘gotcha’ screams “my argument is based on emotion and not fact.”
