Stellaris - Paradox new sci-fi grand strategy game

[Mortmal]

expected to explore pockets of new universe? You are out of luck

weird, because i had a mod doing just that, and paradox has just been copying mods for years.

Yes i dont understand that either, i was expecting some of that but so far:

spoiler

only managed to trigger a system at the center of the galaxy

The DLC model means that all content has to be modular and optional, while adding large features like this wouldn't work unless it was something everyone got and then the DLC just marginally improved (like the leaders update). Big mods basically require a new game ala the star trek mod/game.

Yeah, the "you can mix and match DLCs however you want" sounds good on paper, but is ultimately the reason why their games get into a content bloat loop where no meaningful new mechanics get introduced. A consequence of their cancerous milking model, really.

Yeah, not going to pay 1/3 of a full game for another crap DLC of the bloated game.

What I wanted: CK2 in space
What I got: expansion pack bloatware in space
eh. actually, maybe I got what I wanted after all.

imagine paying for paradox dlc.

HELP i'm being harassed by liberal HR lady about the evils of enslaving people. Can't get a fucking rest even in vidya game. (((Peaceful traders))) doing their things and interfering in other empires.

You should choose the first answer, then declare war on them for this bullshit, and then use them all as food.

 

[Jonathan "Zee Nekomimi]

what kind of nation/species you are?

 

[Stavrophore]

Im playing as humans, and other fellow humans just nagged me about some slave pops i have.

 

[Jonathan "Zee Nekomimi]

ah, did u find the Commonwealth of Man too? There's a interesting event to unity then up with you if the same are present (usually are because of the UN).

Ok it was from Expanded Events mod, i removed it. Author seems to like moral preaching.

I mean that's a very realistic situation if two human empires met. Literally what brits did in the 19 century.

I think he already covered that in (((Peaceful traders))).

In such cases I always LARP a Reunification Crusade. Every Human pop needs to be under the rule of the Terran Imperium.

Oh look, more shit no one asked for instead of fixing their own game bloatware issue.

Paradox will fix game performance as soon as marketing figures out how to get you to pay $15 for it.

I see that they are slowly running out of ideas, since the latest expansion will focus on something that already exists in the game. I hope this is more than just a new category of portraits and a few laws.

 

[Fedora Master]

The game is a bloated mess and should've been abandoned long ago.

Now you're nerve stapling in the name of GOD.

 

[Space Satan]

My bet is that they will release a DLC for each ascenion path. Cybernetics was a joke singe its implementation and this will be a content and mechanic pack.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

I see that they are slowly running out of ideas

most of the expansions since the beginning has been made of stolen mods and made them worse in the process.

The game is a bloated mess and should've been abandoned long ago.

but the game *is* already abandoned, since there's no more alphamod.

Story elements in paradox games promise more than they deliver in a mechanical sense. I'm currently playing the latest addition to Hears of Iron, the one about South America. Lots of cool national goals that make diplomacy, economics and technology secondary.

Could they rip off Mechanicus any harder?
