Starfield
Summary
Not much has been bring out about the specifics ofStarfield ’s upcomingShattered SpaceDLC , but Bethesda has confirmed it will launch sometime this yr and will institute unexampled write up content , locations , gear , and more to the plot . With this , it also has the chance to avoid the game ’s most irritating issuing by also being a smaller , more condense story than that of the main plot .
Starfieldgave thespian the chance toexplore over 1000 planetsacross 100 Star Systems , with the sheer scurf of the game being a major selling gunpoint prior to its launch . Unfortunately , in practice , this scale did n’t always make in the game ’s favor , with many players plain that while the Settled Systems were impressive in their scale of measurement , and the news report location were well crafted by Bethesda , most of theprocedurally mother planets were largely empty . The game also require dissipated locomotion to get to any objectives at a pace that did n’t slow down the taradiddle too much , as manually traveling between planet deal far too farseeing and involved actuate through the same kind of idle blank space at a seemingly tiresome speed , disregarding of how much power was being allocated to engines or boosts .
Starfield ’s upcoming Shattered Space DLC is exciting , but many thing want to be done to the base game first to make it a better experience for all .
Shattered Space Needs To Have A Smaller Scale
And A Reduced Reliance On Fast Travel
WhileStarfield , as with many Bethesda games , offered muckle of side activities and quest for players to touch in exterior of the main campaign , Shattered Spacewould benefit from being a more pared - down matter . Setting its story between a smaller number of hand - craft locations rather than add more procedurally give ones would reduce how much riotous travel is required and would keep up the pacing of the news report , as currently , jumping out of gameplay to scroll through the Star Map to select a satellite three or four systems by ( which sometimes involve doing a degraded travel jump three of four times depend on a ship ’s build and resources ) does tend to kill the sense of exploration and take players out of the game , breaking any good sense of ducking , especially when the degenerate travel itself involve a load screen , rather than the seemingly insistent load speed seen in other modern game involving such a mechanic likeMarvel ’s Spider - Man 2 .
As manyStarfieldplayers have in all probability already finished its independent story and would have spend calendar month exploring what the base game has to tender by the fourth dimension the DLC arrives , Shattered Spaceshould center almost entirely on the novel positioning , rather than sending participant back and forward to pre - explored locationssuch as New Atlantis , Neon , or Akila City . This will further ingress by letting players in truth dive into a handful of new planet and learn more about their citizens , rather than constantly stepping away to embark on supererogatory missionary work and job elsewhere .
It should n’t be long before Starfield gets a huge overhaul , and the much - anticipated DLC is n’t in reality going to be the source of the bragging change .

Theories Suggest Shattered Space Will Focus On House Va’ruun
The House Is Located In An Unknown Star System
Of course , that ’s not to say there should n’t be any satellite - hop inShattered Space , as rumors surrounding its story evoke it could take place in a totally newfangled star system . Speculation has been predominant that the DLC will focalize on House Va’ruun , the third interstellar government to have form in the Settled Systems who were mentioned often throughoutStarfield ’s main campaign , but their base of operations was not seen .
Romanceable companion Andrejawas a phallus of House Va’ruun before joining Constellation as an uranologist and sailing master .
From various conversation and other lore encounter across the beetleweed - sweep map , musician did learn more about House Va’ruun ’s backstory and feeling , with them being make by the passengers of a colony ship that establish from New Atlantis in 2190 and was describe lost before revealing themselves as a fully - work government activity in 2230 . The house is also sleep together for its strong belief , come a being known as " The Great Serpent " and although it seek to restore its reputation after its former leader Jinan Va’ruun declared an all - out war on the rest of human civilisation - which has since been have-to doe with to as the " Serpent ’s Crusade " - the house has since withdrawn itself into isolation , with Andreja inform the musician thatZealots still seem to be twisting the house ’s teachings and attacking those they deem " non - worshipper " .
Bethesda Game Studios presents Starfield - the first original IP from the studio in twenty-five-plus years. Set in the year 2310, the United Colonies and Freestar Collective are observing a shaky truce after a war set 20 years prior. The player will customize their character as a member of a space exploration team called Constellation while navigating The Settled Systems and the conflicts between the warring factions. According to Bethesda, players can explore over 100 systems and 1000 planets to find resources and build their ships, living out their own sci-fi journeys.
Players ' backstories can also be yoke to House Va’ruun ’s teachings , as the"Serpent ’s Embrace " traitstates that they were raised worshiping the Great Serpent .
With such build - up surrounding the family ’s backstory , it does seem likely that Bethesda would choose to take instrumentalist to its home planet at some point . While the wizard scheme is currently nameless , stopping actor from jaunt there , House Va’ruun is locate on the planet Va’ruun’kai . IfShattered Space ’s story were to be situate alone in this unknown star system , it would benefit greatly from countenance players become to the full immersed in House Va’ruun ’s cultureas they search Va’ruun’kai ’s capital city , Dazra , and maybe another major urban center , town , or closure within walk distance .
To keep Va’ruun’kai ’s location a secret , House Va’ruun does n’t even share the leap coordinates of the planet with its own agent , instead dropping them off at random location to carry out their provision - gathering commission with much no financial support . These agents also ca n’t return home until their superiors hold their mission complete and transport a ship to retrieve them , further insure they do n’t know the road to and from Va’ruun’kai .
With the sizing of the Star system also unknown , it could offer up lot of variety in the types of quick moons or planet surrounding Va’ruun’kai without make to journey too far - or spring in and out of fast traveling - to get there . This would offer up the outer space geographic expedition that is part ofStarfield ’s effect gameplay without breaking up the story too much , essentially fixing one of the main complaints players have had about the master biz .
