Building Upon The Starfield Universe With Shattered Space
Expanding On House Va’Ruun & Striving To Make Fans Happy
Screen Rant : We saw at Opening Night Live that there is an additional free update forStarfieldwith the new scouter , but I ’m curious if with this unexampled DLC there will also be improvements that are make their room to the base game that are n’t directly linked to the paywall ?
Timothy Lamb : Yes , dead . There ’s sort of two piece to that , right ? If you look at the update that we ’ve done closely every six hebdomad since September or so , there ’s still improvement that we have there that are outside the scope of the unexampled content .
I ’m actually personally worked up at some of the community note that I ’ve seen go through . I do n’t want to specify them here , things could always change , but I take care some thing go through that I was like,“I ca n’t wait until we can say that that ’s a thing that we ’re doing . “So yes , there will be ; outside of that , there are still quality of life improvements that are coming at that same time .
I ’m sure you ca n’t reveal everything about this question , but we know that the companion Andreja used to be part of House Va’Ruun , and I ’m enquire if she ’s going to factor in any way as a sort of larger role in this DLC ?
Timothy Lamb : This is a good doubt . It ’s a knavish one to serve because I do n’t know what role player have done . I do n’t need to spoil her narration for players who have n’t experience it . It was sure as shooting a consideration in the development .
Obviously , when you were creating the traditional knowledge of the originalStarfielduniverse , these view of the houses and that sort of thing survive . But I ’m curious , from a creative position , were the fresh piece of account and lore you are introducing in this DLC , were they already concepts that you had to begin with ? Or was it sort of saying , " We want to expand on the lore of this planetary house , permit ’s sort of dive into it now " ?
Timothy Lamb : There ’s ebbs and flows in development where certain things arrive at and lose focal point over the line . We had Andreja , interesting character , and it was : how much can we delve into that ? There ’s piece of it , but as development go on , it expands . Once we finish the base version of the secret plan , it seemed exculpated to the team that was really the expanse we wanted to sharpen on and dig late . There ’s a mass there .
All player play at a different pace in different elbow room . Our games support a all-embracing variety of frolic styles , but it feels like a traditional Bethesda expansion , in scope and scale of measurement . - Timothy Lamb
Do you have any ballpark of how much capacity is coming in this DLC ?
Timothy Lamb : It ’s hard to explicate , because I want to forfend direct comparisons to other things that we ’ve done . Because I feel like if I name - drop , " Oh , it ’s just like that , " there ’s an arithmetic mean that I do n’t require to make , or like , " That one ’s really close to my heart . It ’s run to be on the dot that . I ’m going to feel exactly the same fashion I did when I played that . " I do n’t want to do that , but I do want to say all players flirt at a unlike tread in unlike way . Our games affirm a wide variety of free rein stylus , butit feels like a traditional Bethesda expansion , in scope and scale .
In terms of when you were developing the DLC , I ’m curious the biggest challenges that amount along with that , whether it was determining just where you want to go , or anything really in condition of growth ?
Timothy Lamb : Well , when I think about the scope of the vast coltsfoot , there ’s a lot there . Thebiggest challenge was probably fill and making the customized bespoke location as bombastic as it is . When you consider of a bring down area in vanilla Starfield , base game Starfield , focusing everything into that to tailor-make that location and that experience . That was credibly the most thought-provoking part .
I ’m sure you ca n’t say anything too specific because of spoilers , but what are you most excited to see thespian react to when this DLC unload ?
Timothy Lamb : That ’s an interesting interrogation . I mean , anytime we do anything , we never know what ’s go to -I do n’t imagine anyone saw arrow to the knee being the affair in Skyrim[Laughs ] . It ’s like , " What ’s it going to be ? " We always think about what can it be .
I ’ll be curious to see if having that focussed locating and , " Hey , I ’m here and I ’m experience this story in this focused place and I do n’t have to leave or move around around through the coltsfoot , " if that provides an experience that player were hungry for .
