Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda DLCs of all time (lemmy.world)

Starfield steam page for the DLC currently shows eight user review score of 41%, making this one of the worst Bethesda DLC's released of all time. This is so horribly, shockingly bad for Bethesda, because it shows as a gaming company, they are no longer capable of delivering a really good gaming experience as they had in the past. Some of the reviews sum up quite nicely what is wrong with this DLC....

Less content than any skyrim DLC. Less than The Fallout 4 story DLCs. Doesn't change of the complaints people had with the base game, writing is still at a 4th grade level.

Quick: If you are looking to buy my answer is no, you aren't missing much content. I was really hoping to enjoy this DLC. Took about 4 hours for the main story and maybe 2 more hours to 100% the achievements.

These two reviews I think really summed up what Starfield has become, $70 for an AAAA title that has extremely little buy-in from the community, horrifically low amount of replayability and can be breezed through easily. It's mind-boggling to see this

They changed a lot, but in a good way. I had also spent a while away from the game and came back recently for the expansion. It's really good.

I would suggest starting a new character from scratch if you pick up the DLC. You'll really appreciate the new changes to cyberwear that way.

I've had it sitting in my library, maybe it's finally time to play it. Which is the better voice actor to pick, dude or chick?

I prefer the male voice but the female voice is more emotive. Plus the female avatar gets a nice story with Judy.

I'm the opposite. I prefer the fem VA, but I like Panam just a bit more than Judy.

I would definitely need a new character, nothing worse than picking up an old save and having zero clue about what's going on in game. I think I'll put that on my list, I really did enjoy the game at the time I played it, and I definitely got 100 hours playtime from it.
