Outside of that, Howard and Bethesda aren’t saying. The player is in a timeline about 300 years ahead of ours. But “it’s the main one you’ll become a part of,” Howard said, although players will encounter and can align with other groups as Starfield’s role-playing narrative moves on. The Constellation is one of multiple factions within the game - players of Fallout and The Elder Scrolls would expect no less. In an interview given to The Telegraph, Howard mentioned “The Constellation,” which is “this last group of space explorers.” Their activities are “like NASA meets Indiana Jones meets The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,” Howard said. Having created a unique psychotropic drug, Aurora, it's now a popular tourist spot.Starfield’s game engine will be a leap forward, Bethesda says What’s the story of Starfield? Following a past war with the United Colonies, the Freestar Collective marks the other major faction within The Settled Systems, and both currently maintain an uneasy peace.Ĭontrolling three star systems, Freestar uses the walled Akila City as its capital, which keeps out "alien predators that are a cross between a wolf and a velociraptor." Then we have Neon, a pleasure city created by the Xenofresh Corporation. Including New Atlantis, we currently know about three of them. This takes place across 1000 fully explorable planets between 100 star systems, and four major cities. Previous videos from Bethesda have also confirmed the existence of violent Spacers, ecliptic mercenaries, and fanatical religious zealots of House Va'Ruun. Unsurprisingly, there's rival groups with separate goals, like the Crimson Fleet, who it seems we'll be frequently clashing with. But that’s also the headquarters for Constellation, which is the faction that you join that is the last group of space explorers – kind of this NASA-meets-Indiana Jones-meets-The League of Extraordinary Gentleman. "It has all the services you would expect, and you can work on your ship there, the factions touch that. Speaking to IGN in a June 2022 interview, Todd Howard revealed New Atlantis will be Bethesda's biggest city yet. We'll be meeting them in the United Colonies' capital city, New Atlantis, tasked with searching for artifacts across The Settled Systems. After a few initial missions, our protagonist gets invited to join Constellation, the last group of space explorers. Starfield promises a grand spacefaring adventure across the vast universe, set 300 years into our future. Telling IGN there's more handcrafted content than Bethesda has ever created in Starfield, Howard confirmed. He's also clear that despite the large-scale freedom to explore, Starfield still offers a clear 'golden path' to follow, for those only interested in the main story. It’s more quests, so it might be 20% more than our previous ones". Estimating you'll need 30-40 hours for the main story alone, he advised: "This one’s ending up a little bit longer and we may tune that some still. Speaking about Starfield's length, Howard explains it'll be 20% bigger than Bethesda's previous games, such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4. Thanks to an IGN interview with Todd Howard, we learned plenty more about Starfield. Unsurprisingly then, this change has been (mostly) well received. For the unaware, a voiced protagonist was first attempted by Bethesda in Fallout 4, which faced widespread criticism. Revealing that Starfield uses a first-person perspective for dialogue, our character also won't be voiced, which may prove welcome news. Shortly after the presentation, Bethesda confirmed more on its Twitter account. It looks like we'll buy these from individual vendors across different locations. You can piece entire sections together, swapping out core components like cockpits, engines, and more, and it seems that there's no need to individually craft those parts. This presentation also gave us our first real look at ship customization too, which we know is modular. Unsurprisingly, this can't be mixed with the 'Introvert' trait, which does the opposite. Meanwhile, Traits can shape your personality, so if you choose the 'Extrovert' trait for example, you'll have more endurance when travelling with companions, and less when alone. For example, picking 'Dueling' awards 10% extra melee damage, while 'Gastronomy' lets you create unique food and drinks, alongside researching further recipes. Changeable skin tone, head shapes, hair, hair color, eyes, and body details, Bethesda's giving us the usual options here, alongside 'Background' and 'Traits'.īackgrounds offer three starting skills each. Starting with customization, we're playing a fully customizable protagonist. During 2022's Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, we got our first in-depth look at Starfield's gameplay.
