Origin Highlight: Broken Shackles | First Contact Story Pack

Let's band together with Stellaris Content Designer CGInglis as he takes us through the beginning of the Broken Shackles Origin.

---------------------------------

You are not alone! The galaxy is vast and full of wonders, but it’s also full of alien empires you’re going to encounter, whether you’re ready or not. First Contact offers a set of new origins and mechanics that give players the chance to tell stories about their civilizations’ early encounters with visitors from the stars — ones that may not have come in peace!

Yesss, more challenging origins. Perfect

[szymonrozanski]

What i truly want is a true primitive start, be it for RP or simply fun. Who cares if it isnt competitive in multiplayer. We all know 90% of players do singleplayer.

0:25 that red bird in the middle is my current facial expression as I compare what Stellaris was, to what Stellaris is now. I’m proud of the Dev team; this game is a masterpiece!

[StellarisOfficial]

Will you band together in Broken Shackles against MSI, or will your differences tear your fledgling empire apart?

[leonardoalfonso]

Please add more clothing and dresses to species as well as unique and interesting backgrounds.

Cant wait to see more about this expansion! I’m really excited to encounter MSI in game


Side note: please add rings to console edition, Saturn looks so lonely without them

[refreshingryan]

i like that the bird lads are getting art, they are my favorite species type

[acadiano]

Excited about pre-FTL content. Also looking forward to maybe more interesting factions and some internal politics? (More than our spiritualists have been unhappy for 200 years, just look at how they glare at our robot friends!)

[gargamellenoir]

I love this so much! This is a brilliant idea, it'd even make for one hell of a novel! Will we have to choose/customize each races though?

[henrywilson]

This sounds like a good origin to Roleplay with the Shared Burdens Civic.

[Gtreeko]

This looks super interesting, can’t wait!!

[WDGaming]

What a fantastic new origin for Stellaris. I am looking forward to new role playing possibilities with this DLC.

[asgardplays]

Minamar Specialized Industries: "Your Ladder To The Sky" + "Benevolent Corporation"... 😄😂. That is hilarious and funny!!!👌👌

I remember hearing about this as a cancelled origin a couple of years ago, fantastic to hear it’s being implemented in a new form.

[Cayotick]

I wonder if you could randomly get human on your Broken Shackles origin if Earth spawns as a Pre-FTL planet

[clashthegamer]

I think the first origin I want to try is honestly Fear of the Dark. Broken Shackles is difficult but honestly having such a diverse planet preference among species may come in useful. I think it would be strangely better if we're not allowed to pick traits for any of the species otherwise the species wouldn't feel all that different from one another making the origin slightly boring.

[MrNorker]

So that's the reward a dev gets when he breaks his shackles and escapes the basement? He gets to design a new origin (while shackled again in the basement)

[kapitankapital]

I'm really excited to give this one a try

[tadhgtwo]

This sounds like an awesome origin. Can't wait to try it
