If anything is bad about it, it's that it's the most Bethedaist game to date. They are going full steam ahead with the Creation Store, and after trying to charge slightly less than 10€ for the second quest to the Tracking Alliance, they are now charging more than 10€ for a standalone quest .
I love the genre, but I've just had to stop playing it today because of the extreme whaling monetization. I refuse to be part of a franchise where the whales are going to set its course. They've tried to do this with Fallout 4 and Skyrim, but never this early on, and paying so much for a single quest sets a terrible precedent that's far worse than simple cosmetic horse armor. I can ignore everything else in the Creation Store, but not getting left out of the story and lore of the game because I'm not a whale
They've reduced the price by half, but it still seems too high for me, even if it is 5€ - for six of these you could get a full game.
