Recently, Starfield<\/a> unveiled its trailer for the Shattered Space DLC and <\/span>alongside<\/span> it, introduced a brand-new quest for the base game that excited many fans. However, enthusiasm quickly turned to disappointment when it became apparent that the second part of the quest required payment, and the overall experience was disappointingly short.<\/span><\/p>\n

If<\/span> you’re curious about Bethesda’s surprising decision and why fans are expressing dissatisfaction<\/span>, read on<\/span>.<\/span> Below, we’ll delve into the negative reviews Bethesda received for this underwhelming and expensive quest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starfield Gets Review Bombed Following the Release of A Quest That Costs £9<\/span><\/h2>\n

During the recent Xbox Games Showcase<\/a>, Bethesda announced several exciting updates, with the highlight being the Shattered Space DLC. <\/span>Alongside this, Bethesda<\/span> released a new free-to-play quest called Trackers Alliance, split into two parts: The Starjacker and The Vulture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Initially promising, fans were disappointed <\/span>to find<\/span> that <\/span>the entire quest could be completed<\/span> in <\/span>just<\/span> 15-20 minutes.<\/span> Worse yet, the second part, The Vulture, required 700 credits, obtainable only by purchasing 1,000 credits for £8.99. This decision sparked an immediate backlash, as fans criticized the pricing as problematic both in the short and long term.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Reddit<\/span><\/a> in a thread titled “$7 is too much for a quest,” many expressed frustration over the pricing.<\/span> They argued that such a cost for a single quest was excessive and feared it signaled a trend toward more aggressive monetization strategies. One commenter quipped, “Is Shattered Space just<\/span> 2 <\/span>quests in a trenchcoat? Probably not. So, I doubt even Bethesda believes this is reasonable pricing. For the love of god, drop the price.”<\/span><\/p>\n
