Yeah so Elite Dangerous totally just let me accept a mission that in order to complete I need the $30 DLC, with no warning save a coded icon (and maybe not even that, I can;t remember).
That's not cool.
After spending like an hour on that mission and a half hour trying to figure out what was wrong, yeah, that really sours me on the whole game.
:( :(
I'm trying to decide if the game is fun enough for me to plunk down the thirty bucks, or if I should just abandon the mission and do something else, or just walk away from ED entirely.
It seems like there's a relaxing game in there somewhere but I have to fight a horrible UI to find it. And I don't know if it's so chill I'd just get bored.
The game also seems like the kind of thing that really works best if you sink hundreds of hours into it and I just don't have that kind of time.
