Really enjoyed the Escape quest in Creations. Something a little bit different.
Yes, it's $5, and we know you're outraged, shut up. :messenger_tears_of_joy:
New ones? I haven't looked since the 1st Tracker Alliance ones. If its $5, sounds like they lowered it from $7 for the 1st ones.

Have a new game plus question for people that have played it.

is there anything worth seeing during repeat playthroughs? The couple of new interactions with Constellation at the beginning were fun but it very quickly went back to artifact chasing. Anything special I am missing out on?

Just a few minor additional bits of dialogue here and there. And you can pick 3 choices at the end. Mostly just to see a different boss fight.
 
I'll pick it up
I played it again using completely different methods this time - I’d say this is arguably the best quest in the entire game. Apparently has at least three different endings… Had at least a couple of hours from it so far for the $5 and might try it again with a guide to get the best outcome.

If Shattered Space matches this for quality? Yes please.

I just picked it up. Might wait until the end of the month and play it with the expansion and new vehicle.

Finally got around to trying the car. Its nearly perfect. Fun as hell. They got the physics just right to make it usually land upright and get over tons of terrain without being too unbelievable. Can even drive up mountains. Only complaint is the gun seems pretty weak. Not sure if that can be upgraded.

After thoroughly enjoying shattered space i thought i would go back to doing all my pointless side quests but then i started on the path of mopping up some more main side quests and the main story which I'd completely diverted from last year.

Absolutely loved the clone planet and how that went down. I think I'm now well and truly onto the end game.

Last night I did the Nishina? Science lab and managed to save everyone. What a fucking dope mission.

This game completely has its claws in me again. Getting baked and playing some classic Bethesda missions has me hooked.

I'm now finally levelling up my spacesuit mods etc and doing research so I know I'm going to have a good crack at base building at some point.

Basically, is there any good videos with guides of how to do base building, resource collection? I've never bothered with it before.

There are videos I browsed, but it was over a year ago. My advice is to try it out for yourself and then reference whatever base building videos you find only when you get stuck. It's kind of fun trying to figure out how to get it all up and running. It's surprisingly complex. When I actually got a few bases on different planets linked together I felt like I accomplished a lot. It's a bit stressful finding all the materials for each part you need, power sources, transport landing areas, storage areas, etc. It gets complicated. There are little tricks in how you can string together storage tanks and link it all. It's definitely a learning process. Then I think there's places to have it all shipped to the New Atlantis airport but I didn't get that far with it.

One video I saw was a guy that put 100 hours just into this part of the game and it was seriously shocking the scale of the operation he had going. I only dipped my toe in. I can't imagine how complicated this game would be if you had to do that and link up helium refineries to actually refuel your ship between jumps at certain systems. I think that was the plan at some point prior to launch. That's basically what most of the moons are for, they just made the game way easier since probably 1% of players could handle all that.
 
Holy shit the ending of Starfield is dumb af

There is no interesting revelation at all, and taking away all your gear and credits is a wtf moment. Cool I guess I’ll reload the save and not do that so I can finish the side content with the gear I spent 75 hours building up.

That is what made me go from recommending it to not recommending it. The ending is just awful. Worse than Cyberpunk.
