OVERVIEW 📖

BUzTcsU.png


FOR ALL, INTO THE STARFIELD


In the year 2330, humanity has ventured beyond our solar system, settling on new planets, and living as a spacefaring people.
You will join Constellation – the last group of space explorers seeking rare artifacts throughout the galaxy – and navigate the vast expanse of space.
The journey you take with Constellation is just the first of many you'll embark on. The settled systems are home to all kinds of different stories, people, and adventures for you to uncover.

EXPLORE THE FINAL FRONTIER


Venture through the stars and explore more than 1000 planets. Navigate bustling cities, explore dangerous bases, and traverse wild landscapes.
Meet and recruit a memorable cast of characters, join in the adventures of various factions, and embark on quests across the Settled Systems.


CHARACTER 🧑‍🦲

BUzTcsU.png


SCULPT YOUR STORY


Start your journey by customizing your appearance and deciding your Background and 3 optional traits that come with their own unique advantages and disadvantages.
Picking from a lineup of 40 presets as a starting point, craft the appearance of your character. Ranging from hair, makeup, blemishes, scars, piercings, teeth, and more.
The choice is yours to decide who you will be and what you will become.

[SKILLS]

Expand your capabilities across the 5 skills of Physical, Social, Combat, Science, & Tech.
Leveling up provides a skill point, which can be used to unlock or rank up skills.
Ranks are unlocked by completing challenges associated with that skill.


EXPLORATION 🌏

BUzTcsU.png


CHART YOUR COSMIC COURSE


From the Starmap, you have an overview of a planet's info and resources. Choose a landing spot or fast travel to known locations.
You can also survey all the planets in that star system that have key locations, missions, or potential life on them.
Zoom out even further to view all the star systems in that region of the galaxy, where you can plot a course to ones that are light years away
using your ship's Grav Drive to fold space and jump to those systems. Upgrade your ship and skills to jump to the most distant ones.

DISCOVER, COLLECT, BUILD


Explore the cities and wilderness of planets. Discover the fauna, flora, and resources needed to craft everything from medicine and food to equipment and weapons.
Build outposts with livable quarters and hire a crew to passively extract materials and establish cargo links to transfer resources between them.
Invest these raw materials into research projects to unlock unique crafting recipes.


STARSHIPS 🚀

BUzTcsU.png


CAPTAIN THE SHIP OF YOUR DREAMS


Starships serve as essential means of travel, enabling players to journey between planets and star systems,
engage in combat with enemy vessels, and dock and board other ships and structures in space.

[SHIP CUSTOMIZATION]

Ship manufacturers bring their own look and feel to every piece of your ship. From living quarters to cargo holds, mess halls, and control rooms.
Personalize the look of your ship and modify critical systems including grave drive, weapons, and shields.
You can have modules within your ship for crafting or storing your weapons.
Every spaceport has a ship technician where you can purchase, sell, and modify ships.


COMPANIONS & CREW 👩‍❤️‍👨

BUzTcsU.png


NAVIGATE THE STARS TOGETHER


Assign companions to serve on your crew to provide unique bonuses.

Each companion comes with their own valuable skills for your ships and outposts, as well as unique quest lines.
Hire additional crew at spaceports or meet potential crew in the wild.

Eventually, some friendships might even blossom into romance.


COMBAT 🔫

BUzTcsU.png


TRIUMPH OR DIE


Space can be a dangerous place. A refined combat system gives you the tools to deal with any situation.
Whether you prefer long-range rifles, laser weapons, or demolitions, each weapon type can be modified to complement your playstyle.
Zero-G environments add a chaotic spectacle to combat, while boost packs give players freedom to maneuver like never before.

[SPACEFLIGHT]

In deep space, you will engage in high-stakes dogfights, encounter random missions, and dock at spaceports.
You can hail any ship you come across to trade, swap information, and even board and commandeer enemy ships to add to your collection.

Amazing game, my GOTY.

40hrs in, constantly finding things that make me smile.

Bethesda Game Studios put so much love and care into their games, it really shows.

Thank you to all the developers who have worked for the last 7 or more years creating this awe-inspiring adventure.

Excellent [OT] 👍

I wish someone makes a mod where it replaces the soundtrack with Mass Effect 1 and 2. Don't get me wrong Starfield soundtrack is iconic, but it's nowhere near the levels of goosebumps and immersion compared to Mass Effect. I wish it had more synths, combat would of been more exciting. And I miss the Maas Effect ambience.

Also, this game needs to have VR added. So I can poop my pants harder when fighting killer robots or aliens. Anyone else?

Also, can someone mod in space mice? So our friend kanjobazooie kanjobazooie can stop suffering.

Main OT up and I'm stuck here at work unable to play, Instead I'm looking up Starfield stuff on the internet.
Edit-I managed to get up to level 8 during the early access. I think I was probly the slowest player of the bunch.

Yep, 100%. I've done like 1 main mission, barely anything on any of the factions.
Same! I played for a good like 4 to 5 hours yesterday only doing a few jobs and exploring. I didn't even do actual faction missions yet! This game is literally going to have hundreds and hundreds of hours, especially if you're a player that takes the world in more rather than just mission jumping constantly.

I'm gonna say it, Starfield is GOTY followed closely by Baldur's Gate 3. 2023 is the year of generation defining RPG's. It's so fucking good, it really is wild. Howard is mostly redeemed, not fully til his team over there fix the performance on PC for everyone. The soundtrack for Starfield is absolutely god-tier too, jesus christ it's so good lol

Remember my friends this game's a marathon not a sprint.

My first session was enjoyable but it's also very much about slowly becoming familiar and comfortable with the UI, the controls, the systems, the lore... and this comes from a veteran of previous Bethesda RPGs. Patience and your full attention is rewarded by an incredibly compelling experience.

Seldom posts. Always delivers.

There was a technical glitch with the merge and limits of posts so apologies for that. We've just restored the OT as it was and will have to wave goodbye to the early access one which is a shame but it will knock out the real OT with timestamps. I'll see if I can get an admin to do it in the database later to maintain the thread authors.

Man. I look back on my first two days with Starfield. I was such a kid back then. I didn’t know what I was doing. Now, I’m still learning what this game has to offer. I’ve barely touched on the outpost stuff.

I have no idea how anyone could legitimately review this game in only two weeks.
