Is it not on Game Pass?

Gamepass seldom give you DLC's for free. Usually only the simplest form of the base game.

Lol, I knew. First party games on a subscription service being upsold with DLC add-ons, who would have thought. I have the Premium Edition which includes Shattered Space and some Creation Credits. Haven't installed it. Now I am waiting on the DLC, which is guestimated to be two more, one to be released in 2025 and the other, which may or may not happen, to be released in 2026. Each which will likely be $30 or more. Without Creation add-ons, the complete package will be ~ R3 500. That is a lot.
I don't expect more quality above the current, perhaps some QoL improvements and story since the development teams will move on to The Elder Scrolls, and Fallout IP. Say Indiana Jones is good, then this game will be in some maintenance void. They will move to where the money is made.
On the positive side, it has been hitting the 33% discount mark on Steam since March. I do expect a 40% Summer Sale on Steam, and then 50-60% in 2025, perhaps 70% by the next Summer Sale. Next year this time, the Premium Edition could potentially be a ~R600 title, R 1000 with the new DLC (discounted).
Early buyers are always licking Bethesda's balls.
People love the game though, I have seen many people with +100 hours in the game, some +300 hours, some +1000 hours. Eventually I will add my hours too.

I think I have around 150 hours, but the first 60 was just a struggle with my PC. Felt like a different game. SSD helped but the RTX just adds realism and depth that wasn't there with the GTX.
Fallout 4 was really amazing with the mod support and really enjoyed the settlement building and management. The Skyrim was also amazing but I got a bit bored. None of these games I ever finished as I was too distracted.
Starfield is very different and plays more like a linear FPS than an open world action RPG to me. In a way my kind of game.
I still appreciate the level of detailing in the assets and someone put a lot of effort in. Too bad that it doesn't have the depth of Skyrim or Fallout. They must just allow the modding community to finish the game and unlock as much as possible. Even hand over the game engine.

In my opinion, the next two DLCs should be all-inclusive with the base game. I simply can't see how those DLC will be bigger than Shattered Space. Shattered Space is not an inexpensive DLC. MS/Bethesda is building on Creations, it is an incentivised modding business, and they are attempting to poach other mods and its developers. You want more stories, sorry Creations, buy it with Creation Credits. Personally I don't have a real issue with this model since it can help independent developers as long as the MS/Bethesda cut is not predatory, but I don't want it to destroy the third-party modding community either.
Everything nowadays has to be contained in some digital ecosystem. Yuck

What game are you playing now? (Part 2)
I think Echoes of Wisdom has the best combat of any Zelda game so far. Every time you encounter a new enemy type it's exciting because beating it means you'll get a new echo, and boss battles are nuts. I'm really into this game. It strips back a lot of the bloat from the open world zeldas. Glad...
