Scaldingly hot take: this is not a good thing, but one of the biggest criticisms of the Creation Club is that its content is just one off items and whatnot, and not enough quests. Well, there you go, a questline.

The Creation Kit might end up saving this game, too. I still think there are over 50% odds it pulls a Cyberpunk and is remembered fondly.

Polish info about this update was such a word salad that i didn’t even get the most important thing, so maybe someone here knows: are we finally getting mod tools?

Yep, they released the creation kit on steam

The Bethesda of old is long dead. After the disappointment that was Starfield, it will take multiple rave reviews and watching a few streamers playing on Twitch for me to even consider giving them any money. And I sure as hell will not be paying for goddamned mods, not now and not ever. Eff that and eff the greedy assholes that now run Bethesda.

The Bethesda of old is long dead.

The Bethesda of old who invented MTX with their $5-dollar horse armour?

Or the Bethesda of old who made millions by re-releasing the same game for 10+ years but refused to spend a dime to fix its bugs or give the players a functioning UI?

Okay I laughed too lol

leftzero,

The Bethesda that made Morrowind. 🤷‍♂️

Wrench,

I don’t see any problem with modders charging for their mods. They are doing work, and deserve to be compensated.

If they’re creating additional deep content, I can see that being worth paying. If it’s just some skins or configuration edits like wonky gravity, that would not be worth money to me. But I think it’s a good thing to be able to add micro transactions for.

Take the original DOTA for example. A warcraft 3 custom map. It eventually dominated the custom game lobby, at least 3:1. I would have no problem with the creator(s) making money off their creation that contributed a ton of replayability the game.

When it comes down to it, it should be the modder’s choice on if they want to charge for their work, and the consumers choice if they want to pay for it.

Also why I didn’t have problems with microtransactions for skins, particularly when it was community driven like DOTA 2. Artists can make money creating non-game altering content, and fans get to personalize their characters.

So, business as usual for Bethesda.

So they still haven’t made it fun? Bummer

Kit,

Maybe by the 10 year anniversary edition.

“Fun” doesn’t pay C-suite bonuses or shareholder payouts. Ain’t nobody got a reason to work on that!

TachyonTele, do gaming w Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall

Oh, How the mighty have continued to show their true colors since Oblivions Horse Armor…

Crikeste,

I wouldn’t call a company that got gobbled up by Microsoft ‘mighty’.

TachyonTele,

That’s a nice burn

clearedtoland,

I recently started playing Diablo 4. I’ve never bought DLC or cosmetics but I recall the horse armor uproar. My shock when some of these cosmetics are $20 for mount or town portal…what?!

fushuan,

It’s because their competitor does the same, see? Since few people purchase the mtx they rise prices to compensate. Please ignore the 70$ price tag, thanks.

Impressive that enough people still care for there to be a backlash.

BruceTwarzen,

12 people got really pissed, which is everyone.

CosmoNova, do games w Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall

At least I don‘t have to worry about Microsoft closing this studio soon. And not because I don’t think they wouldn’t do it. They absolutely would. It’s just that I wouldn’t care a bit.

corroded, do games w Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall

This seems like a weird and convoluted way to charge for content. Why not just make it a paid DLC?

Sasha,

Well, they are doing both

Article without tracking paywall bullshit.

So, the player frustration this quest is inspiring isn’t a straight-up next entry in the long-running paid mods debate that’s been going on within the Bethesda community with regards to the Creation Club for a while now, but rather folks simply being unhappy with the monetisation practices Bethesda’s employing with regards to its own stuff.

I suppose that will be part of it, but it takes a load of willful ignorance to not see that the reason they distribute it this way is to ease people into the idea of using the infrastructure they ultimately set up to monetize other people’s work (i.e. mods).

cyd, do games w Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall

At this point, Western gaming companies’ monetization schemes are becoming worse than gacha, so you may as well go play Genshin Impact ;-)

Reverendender, do gaming w Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall

To think I bought a Series X just to make sure I would be able to play this game when it came out. To date, I have neither played nor purchased the game.

Starfield is popular to hate on, anything Bethesda does with it will “draw player ire.”

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

huquad, do gaming w Remembering Blue Dragon, the spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger that everyone wanted and nobody played

My buddy had this game, shit had like 8 discs

Omegamanthethird,

It was 3. But IIRC, it was the first 360 game to have multiple discs.

huquad,

Yeah you’re right; looking it up it was 3. My kid brain at the time must have seen that and the tale of the multiple disks grew.

It’s a shame they couldn’t save free radical or Volition, but maybe it was for the best…
