For fuck's sake. How about you get all hands on deck for Elder Scrolls.
Starfield was a little experiment that failed. Learn from it and move on.

I reckon Starfield will end up being a redemption story.
Obviously I don't know how Shattered Space plays, but I don't think there's any reason to think they couldn't build on and improve on what they've got.

If they aim for releasing yearly expansions to Starfield, this most likely means they want to fill up the release schedule until the next main game, so I wouldn't expect TESVI anytime soon. Shame
But on the other hand, new expansions and regular updates means they can use more resources to address some of the flaws and shortcomings. Not everything as some of them run too deep with their foundations, but even some of them could be a good thing

The core mechanics of the game are busted. great story won't save it.

They're getting their shit together by just expanding what they have. Which is okay. Not what I want personally but okay.

Yep. In the video he compared the scope to Far Harbor and the content takes place in a handcrafted play space, which contains various locations and a city.

I liked Starfield and I would much prefer all hands on deck for ES6.

I like the sound of the expansion being more compartmentalized to a single planet/map.

This DLC and the up coming updates are the last chance for Starfield to make a significant impact with gamers IMO. I enjoyed the game with all it's faults but Shattered Space needs to deliver a strong narrative and other improvements to convince the masses.

Keep them, second worst game I played last year (first being Firewall Ultra, what a stinker) I'm surprised at how much I didn't like it.

You mean remake it basically?
My main complaints were inventory management still from the year 2000 and the lifeless npcs.

They intend to spend same amount of time on this as well.
They treat all their games as platforms now.

It is possible modders can save starfield. No chance Todd can.

I really didn't get this. I really enjoyed the game back before all the QoL improvements.

Great news honestly. This is the type of game they could easily support for a decade.
I'm down for all of it.

Funny, but looking over at steamdb.....there are a good number of folks still playing the game.

Totally and completely proven false by Fallout 76 this year. They just kept quietly adding content for years and it's just now taking off.
Starfield will be really similar I'm sure.

If it's as good as Far Harbor was I'll be happy. Far Harbor was great

Yeah this is great, I thought they would drop it once Shattered Space is released tbh. Creation kit is bringing in new stuff too now.
Good interview, they touch on the widespread negativity and Todd seem to take it well and see it as a way to understand what is requested within the community. Bummer that he was interupted when he started talking about ground vehicles!

^ You figure there has to be at least 2 or 3 expansions, as that sets up a couple different re-releases and then maybe another version with mods added in, etc.

There's practically limitless opportunity to expand into cool areas or lore. I'm definitely looking forward to getting some answers on the Va'Ruun finally.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
One of the game's biggest issue is the story but having the same Team of writers pile on more of it won't fix things.
They need to bring in more competent writers.

I just need a bit more edge to the game. It's too sterile. It needs building on.

I actually want it to be even more sterile. Like Andromeda Strain sterile. We have lots of Cyberpunk stuff already. I'd like stuff where you can use all the data you scan for scientific advancements, or a datalog of some kind. Expand on some of the abandoned NASA stuff. Starfield is the only outlet for that optimistic Star Trek Next Gen / Carl Sagan / NASA stuff. Explore a black hole or something where science is not yet caught up.
But yeah, if they want to go through with darker stuff on Neon too I wouldn't really complain.

The real hurdle is the tech. They gotta either overhaul Creation or build their tech over another foundation.
