I watched the trailer and I have absolutely no idea what this expansion adds to the game.

Are there like any new gameplay mechanics?

It’s a new story all contained in one planet, with everything being handcrafted instead of procgen.

On a side note, I can’t remember the last time I played a DLC that added new mechanics

EDIT: folks, it’s nice that we’re sharing games with DLCs that alter or add game mechanics, but let’s not forget that I said “I can’t remember the last time I played”

I can’t think of a single DLC I’ve ever played in my entire life that didn’t add new mechanics

Skyrim, crossbows. Mass Effect 2, hammerhead levels. Xcom, cyborg mecha super soldiers. Age of Mythology, the titans.

Oh I thought it was supposed to be a big update like an expansion kind of thing, it was kinda hard to understand from the trailer the scale of this update.

I guess a handcrafted world will definitely stand out, since most of the procedural content got repetitive so fast.

Well it is an expansion pack, but nowadays I guess the distinction is kinda lost. I haven’t gotten to start it yet since I’m battling terrible performance right now (a 3080 and 7800x3d are getting 40fps on low with DLSS performance on 2160p), I also haven’t seen anything about the DLC, but I expect it to have some new shouts starborn powers, weapons/weapon types and some 20+ hours of content judging by the 40£ tag.

A lot of Paradox DLCs. You’re essentially forced to buy the next DLC or miss out on sometimes literal game-changing mechanics.
