Starfield’s hype is heating up for its September release, and Bethesda has launched it with a sprinkling of fresh details, courtesy of a new Discord Q&A.
The subject matter covered will inevitably be rather chaotic and extensive (and unfortunately, no sandwiches). Though led by fans with radically different concerns, the end is still a fascinating peek at a slightly mysterious game that’s about to launch.
For example, we now know (Thanks Games8) Starfield will feature various punishments for people caught doing naughty things like smuggling contraband. Illegal goods are frowned upon across the galaxy (they are said to work within a certain economy, although certain skills determine their selling price), and they are packed inside special ship modules that can be purchased. , must be smuggled through patrol boats circling major settlements. .
If you are caught with 300 tons of Jonas Brothers illegal paraphernalia (or something else, I don’t know), law enforcement will deal with it. Of course, you can resist arrest and attempt to escape, but failure to do so will result in jail time or a fine for those not interested in confined spaces.
Players looking for a quiet moment in between all their sci-fi epics will now be able to purchase homes in all major cities (other farms will also be available as quest rewards), and for household matters, Generated by the in-game player’s parents based on traits selected for the main character during character creation. By the way, an option for an “anonymous” backstory is also included in case you prefer to play without features.
And of course, your friends are your future family, or whatever you call it, there will be plenty of companions to be friends with on your journey through the galaxy. Bethesda says there will be a total of 20 characters. 4 of them are from Constellation and the others are mainly related to his quest. They all have their own backgrounds and will be happy to follow you around and carry your luggage. In addition to companions, players can recruit general crew members to work on ships and outposts.
From this point on, the violated topics become more random. Time in Starfield only passes when playing actively, and although it’s been confirmed that violence-averse players can use non-lethal weapons, Bethesda said a pacifist playthrough would be difficult. I’m here. Additionally, he has three major religions in the game, with House Va’runn being the predominantly hostile religion. All faction quests can be completed independently. You can become a secret agent in the United Colonies SysDef military and more.
Today’s Q&A follows the reveal of Starfield’s preload date on Xbox Series X/S and PC. If you haven’t played on Steam, it starts tomorrow, August 17th. Of course, the full game will be delivered on his September 1st, but that’s never far away.
