    Its worse than that. They added an entire questline, gave you the first quest, and then charged 7 dollars per quest!

      Howards gone off the rails. He’s a corpo hack. Always was, but now he can shed the leather jacket and McDuck dive into his pool of Creation Coins with no shame.

      $7, but you a only spend $10 at a time! It ain’t gonna be 10 quests or 5 quests. It’s gonna be like 3 or six so you’ll be left with $9 in coins and feel like you’re wasting cash if you don’t spend another $10 to buy some other creation club shit.

      God I fucking hate the premium currency tactic.

        Who knows? It’s an early access paid mod, meaning they only did the first two quests, and promised more.

      If I’m reading it right, it’s a quest framework and one quest is free, the other is paid. So it sounds like we’ll be able to completely ignore the quest if you never visit CC content in the first place.

      For free mod purposes, sounds like it should be easier for mod makers to create bounty hunting quests.

        They put the intro guy at the entrance to cydonia, the only way to avoid it is dont upgrade to the latest patch.

        Yes you’re reading it perfectly, Bethesda as usual actually isn’t being as money hungry as they could’ve.

        People still gonna hate though, that Starfield/Bethesda hate train is way too well entrenched.

            Because I don’t think they’re as shitty as people claim? And I understand that Bethesda isn’t just a shitty group of corporate managers, but also a team of people who have devoted their lives to these franchises.
