After Seeing How Starfield: Shattered Space Turned Out, Is There Any Hope Left Amongst Bethesda Fans For The Elder Scrolls 6?

Bethesda's Creative Director Responds to Starfield DLC's Negative Steam Reviews - IGN Daily Fix
Bethesda's Creative Director Responds to Starfield DLC's Negative Steam Reviews - IGN Daily FixStarfield’s DLC Shattered Space was meant to resuscitate Bethesda’s 2023 new IP, but it seems the DLC has been met with mostly negative user reviews on Steam. Complaints have ranged from the DLC having a boring design to a lack of value to the overall narrative and gameplay. And now, Bethesda’s Design Director decided to take to Twitter to respond to user sentiment on its DLC and the game as a whole: “Maybe it’s a game of expectations. Fans want a lot, and we do all we can to accommodate them. Here’s what I can tell you – nobody, and I mean nobody, at Bethesda is patting themselves on the back while ignoring our players.” This was in response to a fan suggesting Bethesda don’t really hold its fanbase’s opinions too highly, being dismissive of their concerns around Starfield. The design director went on to assure fans that the company is in fact listening to its community to fix anything that may be an issue that players notice. One thing the design director said that I want to take aim at is, “Most of the quests and levels were done by designers who have worked on previous Bethesda games and DLCs, going all the way back to Morrowind.” And that right there might be the issue players are frustrated with. Maybe It seems to some that Bethesda hasn’t evolved its formula and quite possibly feels a bit outdated. Or it could be the opposite for some: maybe it feels like Bethesda has deviated too far from what made its previous entries so well-received by players and fans.
