It Lets ‘You Wander Totally Differently’

Todd Howard talks about what makes Starfield stand out among the other Bethesda titles and why it is considered so special and different from the previous games, including Skyrim and Fallout.

He talks about the long development process of the game and its upcoming DLC, Shattered Space, which offers a huge map extension to the already vast world of the game.

Starfield Is Different From Elder Scrolls And Fallout

Bethesda is known for making expansive games that offer a huge map with endless possibilities and multiple ways to approach the game. With Starfield it managed to outperform its previous game since the game is huge in size and takes place on alien planets, which widens the scope and horizon of the game even further.

Howard reveals that Starfield took more than 7 years to be completed, given the sheer scope and size of the game. The team behind the game was sceptical about incorporating different planets in the game since they were not sure whether such an addition would work or not. They eventually decided to incorporate it, and the rest is history.

In an interview with GQ, Howard shared his opinion on the matter during the release of the game last year. He talked about what makes Starfield different from the rest of the games by Bethesda. He said:

It’s not the same as dropping you in a world like Skyrim.You wander totally differently. When you’re looking over the landscape and the star is setting. That’s all somewhat simulated. In this game, it just happens.

Starfield stand as one of the most expansive games from Bethesda under the command of Howard. The game takes place on alien planets and offers players a chance to witness the universe anew, which caters to the explorers within us.

Shattered Space Is A Gift To Starfield

Shattered Space is the developer’s gift to the game on its one year anniversary. It offers a much-needed addition to the game and includes a lot of exciting stuff, which widens the horizons of the game and offers existing players to look at the game anew.

Shattered Space will be released on September 30. The DLC offers a huge map extension with over 50 locations, along with many more enemies added to the game.

The addition of this DLC was much needed to breathe fresh air into game and increase its life cycle even further. It is not certain that the game will be getting any more DLCs in the future.

The Shattered Space story will be a part of the Starfield Premium and Constellation editions, and its owners will have direct access to the DLC with no further purchase. However, people with the base version will need to buy the DLC separately. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
