I think post release after playing it I might have given this 4 stars since it does have lot I like, but my opinion on it has bit cooled off in long run. I think main reason is that when I played this, I had bit of feeling like "we are being led by a path and we can't really affect things much", I think its bit because of "you arrived too late to do anything". Like by time you arrive to see bear, you have arrived too late and when you have situation to calm down the isolationists again you are going to be interrupted by the space fish. Heck it feels like first impression you do when talking to leaders doesn't really affect xenophobes' reaction towards you at all either.(which probably makes sense, but contributes to feeling of being led down by a path, sometimes literally with space fish chasing you ;D)
Like I still think its good scenario, I like that majority of combat is unavoidable and I do find premise of it hilarious, but you never actually get to meet Envar again so while you can get message from him, it does feel more like "intro to series of scenarios" but we don't actually know if this scenario will get ever followed up upon sadly.
I do like that scenario is overall more about "let's introduce you to new culture", but it feels bait and switchy even if it is amusing situation with you seeing aftermath of Envar's shenanigans. But uh.. Ixtl's art is too uncanny valley to me? Like it looks like they should be cute looking, but them being rabbit people with human facial features just feels uncanny. Like details we get about them are interesting, but art kinda makes me feel like "aww, but I want my bunny people to look more like bunnies and less like humans"
I do like art for both creatures in the scenario though even though both are "combine earth animal with another thing" type of deal that is common in starfinder scenarios. Tentacle bear and plant cat are great as is the space fish!
Coincidentally, my izalguun who I was leveling up for Scoured Home is one exp away from level 5 and just happens to have played that scenario before ;D So yeah hoping I get to play this
This is a nifty adventure, but sheesh, I just have to admit that I have totally lost the thread on the state of relations between the Starfinder Society and "the socialite's" family.

It was 'not good'. It is now less 'not good'. You settled the accounts.
I'mma trying to get to play this at paizocon europe, so feels bit pain to not be able to check this out x'D I'm always super curious to hear canon results, like did every other table also succeed at impressing Envar? Is Envar disappointed at us? WHAT IS ENVAR STATUS AAaAaaAH x'D
Soooo... I'm not sure if it should be mentioned here or somewhere else, but the sudden influx of 5-star reviews looks quite suspect. Two of them are from an account that has literarily only made said review (no characters/posts/anything) and one even from a account that has been silent since 2010. Is this something that needs to be reported somewhere? Or are these actual legit reviews?
Though they could theoretically be from the same group of people who really enjoyed themselves, the fact that two of them are literally two minutes apart sounds too coincidental. Enough time to log out, log in under a new name (or make a new account), and make a new review. Especially since most of them don't even contain text explaining why it's so good.

I think it is result of author being on twitter like "Hey guys, I want more feedback so I know what worked and what didn't so could you please review this scenario?" and then people who like the author missing the point :'D
Anyway, I did longer review to balance things out though my hype did cool down from release, I did overall still like scenario.
