2nd Mission of Trackers Alliance Quests :The Vulture $7.00?

[ErikMalkavian]

I just found this out and couldn't be angrier at this Shady, Double-dealing effort by Bethesda and Todd Howard piss-poor reply to this mess. If you don't know here's the rundown:

1. In the June Update Bethesda presented the FIRST Mission of the New Tracker Alliance Faction.

2. BUT in Order to Play the SECOND MISSION of the Trackers Alliance Quest you have to purchase "Trackers Alliance: The Vulture" Creation for 700 points i.e. $7.00

This was NEVER presented in the June Update notes that I read and is just ANOTHER Shady deal done by Bethesda who I have supported with Starfield (Mostly) since 2023... Not anymore

Or you can just do the mission board in the Basement, the Scan Missions in the main habitable cities or do what I do....ignore everything about it (even though I spent my 1000 Toddbux (Sorry, but the name is actually fitting) on that quest and a poor man's Vasco (D.E.R.R.I.K) and called it a day.

Nobody ever promised you a Rose Garden and life in general is unfair.

Backlash dropped the rating by ~12% and Todd was talking about that in the interviews. What was supposed to be a reviews comeback thx to CK, turned into a crashfest.

They've got the message, don't worry.

I bought that mod on creations and man it is worth every penny :) In fact most of the creations mods are free. 95% of them are free. Still lovin every minute of Starfield the best game I have ever played, especially on Steam.

The mod is pretty bad, it's not even worth 2 dollars...
If you want the rifle they give you, which is the only reason that this mod is worth playing, download the rifle from Nexus

Yeah anyone who visits this forum will know about this because there are like a million threads on the same topic. So no need to make another.

It's a totally optional mission which costs the price of a good coffee. What people seem to forget is you also get an epic free mission and also free radiant missions which add more to the bounty hunter play style.

How about being grateful for all the free stuff they gave us instead of whining about 1 mod which is optional.

You didn't notice the requirements on that mod, did you?

Anyway, the pack is really just a weapon/outfit mod with a very minor quest attached. Its not really the continuation of the Trackers alliance faction.

Save your money.

Well, you are very late to the party. No beer for you.

I got the mod using the 'free' credits I received for buying the premium edition. It is NOT worth it. I think Todd said they were just looking at what was given in the game, the outfits/weapons and tried to factor in what those would sell for if sold separately in Creations. They 'forgot' to factor in it was part of the Tracker Alliance questlines and gave the appearance that future missions would all cost money and ultimately Todd agreed it shouldn't have been done this way. So maybe, maybe things will get better. But for what you get, an outfit I never wear and a weapon I never use, certainly not worth it.

Now, from a role-playing perspective, if you are playing a FreeStar native and a Ranger, the quest does tie into those factions, so depending on how hard you role-play it may be worth it from that point of view.

Well no, I guess it came with my lot...
I'm one of those who bought the "wallow in mediocrity and die of boredom" lot

[Diernayr]

To be fair, they have an entire warehouse of Starfield merchandise that isnt selling, they got to make that money back somehow.

Who needs some new bedsheets or dream journal? How about a Starfield branded HDD that doesnt work with Starfield?

And the other marketing account.

No, some people just don't get their panties in a wad over optional paid content, that costs about the same as a large Starbucks coffee...

Side note : Its actually $10 , because you cant buy $7 worth of ToddBux directly.

veer has been around for a while and based on their time spent playing SF are clearly a legitimate fan of the game. Their opinion is valid, but it is an opinion.

I read here someone comparing the $7 to a good cup of coffee. While that can be a good comparison, IMO it isn't for a game. This is due to the fact that for BGS games I generally get pennies for the hour in playtime. Heck even with Starfield which I've spent $100 on so far I'm at about 14 cents an hour of gameplay. Really hard to argue against that value. But a $7 mod that takes an hour to finish, has to be considered, from that perspective, a bad deal. Sure I can play it over and over again, which I would have to do, to make it worth it at all, but ... it isn't that good of a mod to be honest.
