Starfield, the new IP from Bethesda that has given us Fallout and the Skyrim universes before, launched first on Xbox Series S/X and PC on Sep 6th, 2023, and a year and a half later on PS5, on 7th Apr 2026. The game features a vast new world with a dizzying number of planets for players to explore, ship-building, several faction storylines, and decisions to make during several of the main and side quests. Here is a guide to some of the key points in Starfield.

Starfield Character Creation, Traits & Builds

Starfield has a pretty detailed character creation, just the way you would want a classic RPG to start. It also introduces Traits to give your backgrounds and build that much more uniqueness and quirks, including an option to have an Adoring Fan accompany you on your travels!

Starfield Quests, Decisions & Consequences

It would not be a Bethesda RPG if it did not have quests that had you making choices, each with their own consequences – while some of those may not really matter, but it does help you play according to your build and theme – an evil Pirate intent on taking as much gold; or a Commander with a heart of gold intent on saving every possible life?

Starfield Locations

The game features planet-hopping big time, and in such a vast game, it is easy to get lost in the world trying to figure out where the next part of the quest is to be located. In this section, we give you the details on a few such locations that are most difficult to find, and make things that much easier for you!

Starfield Gameplay Mechanics

While the game does a good job of explaining its systems over the course of early game, there are still quite a few places where these mechanics could do with a better detailing – and the player would benefit from getting that detailing as early as possible to have the best start in the game. Here are a few gameplay mechanics that you would do well to have a read about, before starting your adventure in Starfield.

Starfield Companions & Romance Related

Companions and the possibility of romance with them – a cornerstone of a good RPG! No surprises, then, that Starfield also has this system. If you are looking to ensure that you don’t miss out on the possible Romance track with your favorite companion, do make sure that you go through these guides in detail!

Starfield Ships & Space Exploration

It would hardly be a space RPG if it did not allow you to go and explore a vast, abundant and diverse planet system, would it? Thankfully, the game gives you more than enough tools and options to not just make it to that lone but interesting planet, but also do that in style with a variety of customizability and ship options at hand.
