Someone has to fight the good fight

It's not that I'm surprised. Personally, it's that I felt the procedurally generated content in Skyrim and Fallout 4 was their weakest aspect. The quality, hand crafted content is why I enjoy their games.

I've been skeptical of this one since they announced the whole 1000 planets thing. I'm checking up on reviews and waiting for the general public to get their hands on it cause I just don't really trust that they can make quality procedurally generated content.

Pay to win isn't the right label, you're just paying for access to the content and all games with expansions do that. The main issue for newcomers is how the content is broken up and sold. If you want access to all the content in the game then you need to buy

• Lightfall ($25 on sale, $50 normally)
• The Legacy Collection ($24 on sale, $60 normally)
• The Forsaken Pack ($7 on sale, $20 normally)

And if you want access to all the dungeons you'll have to buy

• The 30th Anniversary Pack ($10 now, $25 normally)
• $20 for last year's dungeons
• $20 for this year's dungeons

And then there's the season pass for $12

That's over $100 even on sale, $200 at normal prices.

It's just an enormous barrier to entry for newcomers and it's really not clear what you're even supposed to buy.

Oh God I hope award speech edits don't make it over here
