I think it all came through Amazon.

I wish beyond reason that someday Bethesda will release a game where the characters walking speed is the same as NPCs.

Tell me about it! It seems like Oblivion Remastered has done a much better job of that, but that may be just because of my specific character's speed. Truly don't understand how Bethesda hasn't made that happen yet. And don't get me started on how their games since Skyrim have absurd delays in how long it takes your companions or escorts to run after you once you get moving from a standstill. It wasn't an issue in Oblivion, or Fallout 3...

Anyway, I'm surprised we didn't have a set thread for Starfield characters until you made one yesterday. I'll have to pull mine up and post on here when I have the chance. She's done a considerable amount of content.

@Kane - Did you do the Shattered Space DLC yet?

------------------------------------------------

Speaking of DLCs, I hope we get one eventually centered on the Ecliptic. Having a mercenary group that's only mysterious because there is so little in-game lore about them is getting really old. First it was Talon Company in Fallout 3 then the Gunners in Fallout 4 (which have some heavily implied lore bits about their origin, but nothing concrete). Some of it is a matter of cut content, but I really wish Bethesda would flesh out these mercenary groups for once. Hell, even Blackwood Company in Oblivion didn't have all that much to them.

No, I just bought Shattered Space on Saturday actually. I wasn't able to play on my PC at release, but I upgraded my rig a couple months ago, and I just slotted my new m2 drive in. Spent most of Saturday downloading an installing mods.

I have not tried Shattered Space yet either. Probably won’t anytime soon, to be honest.

I'm interested just for more Andreja content. Also, I gather it's a limited world space on Dazra, instead of spanning multiple systems. So more akin to a traditional Bethy DLC.

I heard there was no Andreja content. I’m curious to know if that is true.

I'd find that hard to believe if we are going to her home world. At the very least there ought to be new voice lines recorded by all the Constellation companions.

I could see them leaving her out. After all, . Does she acknowledge if you have the Serpent’s Embrace trait in any meaningful way?

Dunno, never taken it, lol.

Same. It seems like a bad deal, always having to jump around. I had an idea for a techno-barbarian character that would’ve used it, but I never did anything with it. I instead took some of the ideas for it and created a Starfield version of Brenna who is a beast master (with the help of the Xenomaster mod) and makes heavy use of the Starborn powers.

I can say that that is not true, but I'm not entirely sure just how much more content and dialogue you get with her. I had Sarah for the DLC, though Andreja was in my crew and I got to talk to her about the ending for Shattered Space, as you normally would for the end of major questlines. But from a cursory look on the Internet, you definitely get more unique content with Andreja vs. the other companions, though I can say that Sarah still offers a lot of unique lines as well.

----------------------------------

Overall, I quite enjoyed the Shattered Space DLC. Having a more focused area to explore like a typical Bethesda game was nice to have again. I think one of the biggest issues with Starfield was that the procedurally generated locations didn't have enough "modules" that they could populate as.

I won't say too much to avoid spoilers, but the fleshing out of House Va'ruun was interesting. There was also one particular quest (not main story) that involved an orphanage that tugs a bit at the heartstrings and not in an overly sappy way.

Definitely not true. Not only does she have idle commentary about various locations and people in Dazra, even some of her base game dialogue is altered if you've progressed very little of the DLC.

Oh nice! Sounds like more unfounded Starfield bashing then.

Definitely. So far she has commented on just about everywhere we've gone and most choices Dro has made.


Also, Dazra is beautifully alien.

I'll pile on the haters some more. Not only did she have a ton to say during the DLC; her companion quest, and romance dialogue is changed to reflect whether or not you went to Dazra.

Tip of the day: if you go through The Unity, it's worth a stop to visit the lab on Kreet that Vasco makes you clear out. Because you aren't playing that tutorial mission, the lab is devoid of enemies but still full of loot to help get you started.
