    Neat, can’t wait to miss it.

    Starfield has fundamental issues that no amount of modding or DLC is going to repair. I don’t think I’ve ever been less excited for a content update for a game I own.

    I didn’t even get past the mid point of the story, game’s too boring and the loading screens are too ass.

    I watched the trailer and I have absolutely no idea what this expansion adds to the game.

    Are there like any new gameplay mechanics?

      It’s a new story all contained in one planet, with everything being handcrafted instead of procgen.

      On a side note, I can’t remember the last time I played a DLC that added new mechanics

        Oh I thought it was supposed to be a big update like an expansion kind of thing, it was kinda hard to understand from the trailer the scale of this update.

        I guess a handcrafted world will definitely stand out, since most of the procedural content got repetitive so fast.

          Well it is an expansion pack, but nowadays I guess the distinction is kinda lost. I haven’t gotten to start it yet since I’m battling terrible performance right now (a 3080 and 7800x3d are getting 40fps on low with DLSS performance on 2160p), I also haven’t seen anything about the DLC, but I expect it to have some new shouts starborn powers, weapons/weapon types and some 20+ hours of content judging by the 40£ tag.

      Nope, they recommend being level 35 at least but I’m not sure if it’s a requirement. While jumping from planet to planet you might encounter the Oracle, which is where the DLC starts.
