Good news for players who want to experience everything Starfield has to offer.īethesda boss Todd Howards told The Telegraph that Starfield would be like 'NASA meets Indiana Jones meets the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.' This is where the Constellation organization comes in forming 'the last group of space explorers', which the player's character will surely join as part of the main quest.Īcross this adventure, we can expect Starfield players to encounter all manner of factions such as the Freestar Collective, a libertarian confederation and one of two main governments in the Settled Systems, and the pirate-like Crimson Fleet. And according to Bethesda, you don't have to worry about missing out on a faction's quests if you choose another. Humanity has explored a lot of space, so the next frontier/leftover mystery is something to do with a ring-like artifact. Starfield's main story is a bit of an enigma. We’ve found you’ll be playing the game and ‘I ran out of fuel, OK, I guess I’ll just wander these planets trying to mine for fuel so I can get back to what I was doing. Whereas we used to run out of fuel you’d jump and get stranded, which on paper is a great moment when you get stranded and you’ve got to press this beacon and you don’t know who’s going to come. “But it has a tone of there's some effort involved and we’ve dialed it back as we’ve been making the game. “When you actually play the game, because it’s a game we don’t actually kill you when you fly out in space,” Howard told YouTuber and interviewer Lex Fridman.

And that means there'll be survival elements, but thankfully Todd Howard has said they will won't be an irritating obstacle to exploration. Starfield will lean into hard sci-fi rather than the more fantasy settings of Star Trek and Star Wars.

But we suspect a lot of these will be optional places to visit than making Starfield an unwieldy game. At Summer Game Fest 2023, Howard pointed out that players will be able to explore the various moons and other satellites orbiting planets. Speaking of which you'll be able to pilot it and engage in space combat just expect it to be a more sedate affair than the likes of Star Wars: Squadrons, given these will be big ship that'll be zapping each other than nimble starfighters.Īpparently, there'll be more than 1,000 planets to explore, thanks to procedural generation. And you'll be able to setup based in various location as well as customize your ship.
