Potential half-finished idea from Bethesda. Vasco upgrade.

[Alpha1ce]

Okay so this is about when you go into the Autonomous Staryard in the Volii system.

 

 

When you walk in with Andreja as your companion she says, "If Vasco were to be upgraded, this would be the place."

 

 

Sadly, that's all there is to it. Completing the dungeon with Vasco as your companion does nothing extra.

 

 

I have searched high and low in this place and posted reddit threads and everyone seems to agree there is something missing from this dungeon.

 

 

You get literally nothing for completing and there is something of a boss battle at the end and everything.

 

 

We at the very least should have gotten that crazy mining drill as a buildable weapon in ship editor.

 

 

Or had the ability to make a ship as we progressed through. Outfitting it with certain things based on skill and hacking checks along the way as to scale the end product with your character. (Just my own personal idea I think would have been cool. I'm aware something like that isn't going to be found here lol..)

 

It could just be another missed mark on Bethesda's part along with a throwaway dialog line. BUT maybe it's not! Maybe they intended to do more here, and it was just never finished?

 

 

I myself lack the skill, but if someone out there wants to check it out and see if there is anything wrote into the game that went unused for this location that would be awesome.

You think the game originally intended to do more- really. Well here's a fact that will amaze you. The original dev design was for an ambitious and actually good game, that Team Todd worked on for years, and in the end had to give up on. The game you now play is the result of a desperate attempt to salvage anything- and there will be dangling threads from the original design specs all over the pitiful wreck we ended up with.

 

For instance, do you really think the original intent was to have the SAME artifact in the SAME cave that just happens to be randomly tacked onto a non-related dungeon, without even a wall you have to break down to find it? I mean come on. A core story element like that, clearly bashed out on the editor at the very last moment in five minutes.

 

Beth's older, vastly better games had a ton of cut content too. Did you know Team Todd tried to implement a working stagecoach transport system in Skyrim (and FAILED of course). A mod later did a pretty good job of fixing what Team Todd was far too hopeless to get working.

 

Of course Starfield has DLC (everyone's eyes roll) coming- but it seems that this is now intended to be a major Witcher/Cyberpunk like story addition. However, this will almost certainly try to add some (broken half-baked) new systems. Maybe they'll give all the robots pronouns, and have them hit on you.

Yes I am painfully aware.. I was just curious if this specific instance was maybe due to cut content that could be made into a cool mod. That's pretty standard across all Bethesda games. Like the Dance dilemma for F04. Although that was just cut dialog.
