I always get the DLC but definitely agree on the UI needing some sort of overhaul and reorganisation, one of my biggest peeves is just the sheer amount of tabs you have to cycle between for a lot of the in-game systems. The prompts for missing traditions etc are great, but when navigating around the menus there's a lot of screen clutter. Things could probably be sized down or compartmentalised a little better.

When you pay full price for a game you expect the full and completed product with some minor and far between bugs, DLC is DLC when it simply ADDS to a completed product and not completes it. This is not a DLC, this is them completing the game Stellaris over the course of 4 years and milking you for money everytime they get off their ass and start fixing the game. Stellaris at launch was like a early access title and it was waaay overhyped, just Like Hoi4 had barely any content at launch compared to what they hyped up before they released it (Play Launch Hoi4 and compare it to launch HOI3 roflmao) . I suggest you open your eyes and stop kissing up to Paradox as if they were a small indie studio in some random village in Sweden. They are a Studio who has made millions off gullible people like you who just think "Oh they will patch it after launch" "Oh they will add that in a DLC" "Oh it just released dont be too harsh on the game" you are the people they are marketing these crappy point and click games to, open your eyes and realize that and stop giving them your money and maybe they will start putting actual effort into games again. All of this makes them one of the most greedy and anti consumer companies ive ever seen just because of their policy of released Half Baked products for FULL PRICE and then charging you a further 4 times as they release "DLC" after "DLC" just so you can get half of the product you paid for. And in the end people still sing their praises and jerk them off so much that people like you leave comments like this misleading people into thinking Stellaris is a halfway decent game on its own without DLC or mods (Because it isnt even after a billion patches) Take better care of your money bro.

Most games are more expensive to make, and the cost has stayed the same sense the 2000’s. So they offer the bases game incomplete with DLC to help cover for the development cost. But this constant stream of DLC has gotten to their heads. And the sheer quantity of “needed DLC” they sell borders on micro transactions. This stifles them making new games that run smoothly, and doesn’t feel like a 10 year old game. It’s a shame there isn’t another game developer who makes Grand Strategy.

There are a lot if crashes and the mercenary enclace mechanics are completely broken. It will take at least several weeks until the major bugs will be fixed. And there are tons of possible exploits. They released this dysfunctional DLC without proper testing and charged us 20€ for an alpha test. This kind of fraudulent and greedy policy by Paradox shouldn't be tolerated by us customers. The very negative steam reviews are justified.

Has anyone had a glitch where your subjects status keeps changing so you can’t renegotiate your Overlord Status. It’s happened four times on the same Empire for me. Keeps flipping between a Vassal and Protectorate. Also, first Impression, I don’t think the Overlord Mechanic makes you feel like you own them. Like they can refuse an agreement you try to propose to them. I’d though idea was you could make demands but loyalty would suffer. But you can only get agreements by consent; just like Federation or Galactic Community. I actually feel I have less control over my vassals right now.

Thanks ASpec! As a total newb I'm fast getting hooked on this gem. What expansion + DLCs would you say are a must-have for beginners, so we get more of a flavour of the current game, but without over-saturating it with 6 years worth of features? I'll prob end up getting everything in the mega-pack at some point, but just wanted some recommendations for my first 'real' serious play-through. Can we even de-select an expansion/DLC if we want (without uninstalling it)...? Cheers!

I would say Utopia & Distant Stars. Utopia adds some really important fundamentals such as enclaves, megastructures and deeper population management. Distant Stars adds more Stellaris. It's an event pack that adds nearly a hundred new things to encounter in space; events, unique solar systems, ect. It really adds to the story without bogging the player down with new mechanics.

My first game with Overlord, my fleet and star base refused to attack. My fleet just circle like ground troops in an engagement. Also the damn game started two other civilisations with in four hyper lanes of me.

I always pay for every dlc. Those developers for stellaris really love what they do and it shows in the content they make. They deserve every penny of making this game the wonder that it had become. Thank you paradox stellaris team. Keep making the game the best of the paradox community.

Everybody needs to buy the starter pack at least or if you can, just buy the entire ULTIMATE BUNDLE. otherwise, the base game alone felt shallow. only by buying the ultimate bundle, that's when you feel the game is complete.

As on all Stellaris new content DLC's...wait at least 2 months for the devs to fix all the bugs and the big balance problems.

I really think this is as good as utopia. My reasoning for myself is I like vassels more and the progenitor have mind is by far my favorite orgin.

When this finally hits the console version it’s going to make the game harder every time there’s an expansion and it finally Comes to the console version It makes the a.i God like well it was already like that when I bought the game even on easy and the empire I would run into They will already be massive well I’m just trying to get my feet wet I don’t have every single expansion but I know when I finally have all of them I probably wouldn’t even be able to finish a game In a good position

Loved stellaris, best in its genre for sure. Problem is developers make it too big instead of making some life quality changes. The start is the best part, but then when you accumulate 20+ worlds and have to manage them manually cuz AI is too stupid the game get too tedious and boring...or it was like that a year ago anyway Oh right...spending half a minute scrolling through outliner every time you need to find fleet/planet/station....ok yeah I’ll pass this time. Im sure they’ll make UI better eventually

I’m really hoping that the next big dlc includes a combat rebalance, everything in stellaris at this point is so well made and expansive with multiple options that combat being the only thing that’s not really like that makes it stick out even more than it already does

How do you do it without adding busy work though? Wars are already stressful trying to manage everything at the same time (on top of your economy), even when you have the overwhelming advantage. If you had to refit ships to deal with different set ups mid-war it would be a nightmare. Especially if you are fighting more than one empire at a time. And the fact that you don't actually have to manage the battles themselves is one of stellaris' biggest strengths compared to other 4X's which always get bogged down as soon as wars kick off.

To me stellaris is already bloated with features. Things I wan't is more modern graphics and clean UI.

Started a Rogue Servitor (should have picked a new origin) playthrough and at least early game I am not seeing too much of the new mechanics. It’s 2250 and it’s feel like it will take a long time to grind these vassals down before they do what I want. Maybe once I get some of the railroads and later tech it will start to feel different but atm I am not seeing the changes. Maybe I am getting massive penalties because I am a machine empire and using the vassal mechanics?
