Starfield: Shattered Space has been available for 24 hours now and many are complaining because the expansion in some way It doesn’t revolutionize the game and adds little content related to the basic systems (base construction, spaceship construction and so on) but, in fact, expands it above all from a narrative point of view. What Starfield was, Starfield remains even after installation, but with an extra piece of history, which is exactly what was promised.
Unrealistic expectations
In reality, by carefully examining the work done by Bethesda, we can see that There are some improvements compared to the base gamebut they are all linked to how the expansion itself was conceived: the smaller number of environments allowed us to add more details, also paying more attention to the environmental narrative; the new city is more interesting to explore and has a broader mythology than some of the original cities, and House Va’ruun emerges as the most polished faction in the game considering the focus it’s had.
For the rest it’s the usual BethesdaOne might say, take it or leave it. For example, it would have been nice to see Andreja be more involved in the events of the city where she grew up, but where she instead appears to behave like a kind of tourist. It would also have been nice to see greater care in representing more profoundly the cultural differentiation of a faction detached for centuries from the rest of humanity, which in reality remains ideally linked to the others in various aspects.
Having said that, I reiterate: Shattered Space is exactly what it was promised it would be. Bethesda has a long program of substantial updates for the coming months (at least that’s what he said several times), but they are planned as free and linked to the base game, therefore designed for all those who purchased Starfield, regardless of the edition, so much so that, for example, the land vehicles were introduced before of expansion, without the need for extra purchases.
Going to revolutionize and modify game systems by tying the new features to an expansion would have been very wrong for several reasons, first of all the need to start thinking of Starfield as two games instead of one (with and without expansion). In short, you may like it or not, but expecting it to contain what was never promised means having created unrealistic expectations, which have nothing to do with the game.
