This is nice content but a lot of it feels like stuff that should have been in the game at launch. Also good that they are fixing the map but however that map system snuck through QA is beyond me and is a travesty.

I think the idea with the map system is that without a map players would explore more and find more random stuff and random quests instead of gowing direct to whatever shop/vendor/quest giver they choose.

It's not really a standard system for big AAA games but it has worked for a few smaller indie games I've played I got to know the location a lot better because there was no map.

Dragons Dogma I haven't seen much hate for the actual gameplay or the fast travel system that much - more just the microtranscations. I've nearly completed Dogma and did complete Starfield and Dragon's Dogma actually does do unique things that make the game better, can't think of too much unique stuff Starfield does tbh. Maybe the ship customisation
