I want to start this review by saying I enjoyed Shattered Space. I think the concept of it is really well done and the quests are refreshing and interesting. I love the new weapons and armours, the set design, and the npc's. I had a lot of fun playing through the expansion and look forward to replaying it on future playthroughs.

So why a negative review?

Although on a personal level I really enjoyed it, It all comes down to pricing and distribution of the new content. The price is $39.99 CAD and it comes with less content than Bethesda's other DLC's (For instance, Dawnguard for OG Skyrim $21.99 CAD and comes with about double and a half the content) which is outrageous. Also the DLC has zero effect on the base game. The Varuun Zealots have brand new armour and weapons and they were not added to the levelled list of base game zealots which I think is a massive wasted opportunity. Finally, there are a few minor letdowns such as; no new ship parts, the unlockable shop only sells generic items with the occasional Varuun item, and the worldspace only feels handcrafted AT POI's and not inbetween poi's.

I Think Shattered Space is worth getting on a very good sale (60% off or higher) or maybe if you got it with the Ultimate Edition. But overall on an everyday basis, I can't recommend it specifically for the price they are asking for it. It would be a fantastic DLC if it was closer to $10 CAD or $15 CAD
