The second mission of the recently released Trackers Alliance is only available as a Starfield Creation and costs $7, or 700 credits.<\/p>\n<p>Creations are built via Starfield\u2019s Creation Kit, and include free and paid-for mods. Creations include new missions, gear, skins, and weapons. Here\u2019s the official blurb from Bethesda:<\/p>\n<p>Trackers Alliance establishes the first of several missions enabling you to live your best bounty-hunting life. The first mission, The Starjacker will have you in contact with a mysterious Tracker located in settlements throughout the Settled Systems. From there, let the hunts begin!The second Trackers Alliance mission, The Vulture is available within the new Creations menu. And what bounty hunter is without their trusted methods to get the job done?<\/p>\n<p>While this latest backlash revolves around The Vulture mission, Bethesda has faced criticism over paid mods before. Indeed it\u2019s the studio\u2019s continued effort to enable paid mods for its games that has rubbed some players up the wrong way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally? Another push for curated paid mods no one asked for?\u201d reads one negative Steam review. \u201cThere is a simple reason why many players and modders enjoy modding their games for decades: it is done as a hobby, for players by players, without corporate responsibilites and apart from donation opportunities, without asking for or expecting monetary compensation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are not aiding modding in the slightest. You are trying to turn modding into a business opportunity, to be a parasite that profits from underpaid work you do not want to do yourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now we definitely see the feedback right? And that&#8217;s not what we want at all.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/2ew8LQFGNWU?feature=shared\">YouTube channel MrMattyPlays<\/a>, Todd Howard responded directly to the criticism, and confirmed plans to look again at Bethesda\u2019s pricing for Creations content.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hear that feedback, too,\u201d Howard said. \u201cFirst of all I\u2019ll say that stuff gets priced based on things that we&#8217;ve done before both in Creation Club and then Fallout 76, and we&#8217;re always trying to be looking at what else is out there, really make sure we&#8217;re giving value to everybody and where we&#8217;re not, hey you know, we definitely will adjust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe one thing I want to say on The Trackers Alliance, that was really an attempt to something we did in Creation Club where we&#8217;d say, hey you get this special outfit and you get this special weapon, we wanted to put them together, and then thought, let&#8217;s go the extra mile and wrap those around a quest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut now we definitely see the feedback right? And that&#8217;s not what we want at all in terms of, oh no, this looks like a faction that we&#8217;re chopping up and then selling for 700 credits at a time. And so I do think we are going to take a look at that and how we deliver content like that, and whether we&#8217;re changing pricing or breaking it up or what we should do there. So, great feedback from the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Howard insisted, however, that Bethesda\u2019s policy on paid mods has the health of the modding community at heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs it comes to, particularly the creators out there, look, our view is, a lot of them have gone from hobbyists to professionals. And it\u2019s part of our job to make sure they can do that and they do get paid and they see the monetary rewards if they make awesome content,\u201d Howard said.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/bethesda-isnt-walking-away-from-starfield-its-planning-a-second-story-expansion-for-year-2\">Howard has confirmed plans to release a second story expansion for Starfield<\/a> following this year\u2019s Shattered Space, and commented on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/the-elder-scrolls-6-teaser-is-now-6-years-old-and-even-todd-howard-paused-to-say-oh-wow-that-has-been-a-while\">the long development of The Elder Scrolls 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
