![]() ![]() The expeditionary robot will presumably be Starfield's default companion, similar to Dogmeat in Fallout 4. Our first introduction to a Starfield companion character was with Vasco, a robot companion shown off in a video from earlier in 2022 (opens in new tab). Starfield companions will hopefully have more depthĪs is tradition in Bethesda RPGs, Starfield will have companion characters to join you on your travels. What we saw looked similar to the basebuilding in Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, but we don't have any specifics yet. You can build outposts, shown briefly in Starfield's gameplay reveal.Their questlines will be independent from each other, unlike the Fallout 4 factions that locked you out of other questlines. As in earlier Bethesda games, they'll assist in combat. There will be recruitable NPC companions.As Starfield lead quest designer Will Shen says in Into the Starfield episode 2 (opens in new tab): "You have to think about 'what's my risk here?' We didn't want it to be a system where there's definitely a right thing to say." There's a persuasion minigame, but supposedly more involved than Oblivion's dialogue pie chart.Or technically "digipicking", if you're going by the name of Starfield's lockpick equivalent. Shown in only a single frame of the Starfield gameplay reveal, a pickpocket prompt appears when a pirate steps in front of the crouching player character, visible for barely a fraction of a second before the pirate is perforated with space bullets. What Elder Scrolls/Fallout mechanics will be in Starfield? Either way, choosing one religion seems to put you in opposition to the others. ![]() "Raised Universal" is a trait that gives you a discount at "the church store" but means you can't use "the Enlightened store." The Enlightened may be another religion or perhaps a group of space-atheists, we're not sure yet. These are chosen during character creation and have a couple traits linked to them. "Spaced" gives you increased health and endurance while in space but decreased on the surface, for instance. According to Howard, these traits are "problems you can solve" if you get sick of them-each trait will apparently have an optional quest to nullify it, removing both its positive and negative effects.Īnd different religions, including one that includes the worship of a space serpent, are present in Starfield. These are optional choices for your character that come with pros and cons. If that's not enough roleplaying, Starfield also has traits, another system familiar from past games. Character skills are things you'll recognize as Bethesda RPG staples: medicine, lasers, persuasion, bargaining, and the like.Īs for leveling those skills, Todd Howard says that Starfield's system "combines the best from our previous games" meaning that you'll unlock new skills as you level up and then upgrade those skills by using them or "completing challenges". You'll choose a background-options like combat medic, bouncer, professor, or homesteader, which all come with three starting skills. We saw some templates, body shapes and sizes, skin tones, and hairstyles for your character's physical appearance, though not the details of their faces. We got a pretty good look at creating and leveling a character during the June 2022 Xbox & Bethesda showcase's gameplay reveal. Hopefully we'll find out the actual date from Bethesda sometime soon. Right now, a theory (opens in new tab) is that Starfield will be released on March 23, 2023, but that's really just a guess based on some numbers shown in the trailer that may relate to the patent filed by the Wright Brothers for their flying machine back in 1906.ģ-23-23 feels like a nice date for a Bethesda RPG launch (Skyrim was 11-11-11), but there's no real evidence for it. Meanwhile, impatient fans have tried to figure out the exact date before it's announced. Bethesda announced the delay in May 2022, saying that "The teams at Arkane Austin (Redfall) and Bethesda Game Studios (Starfield) have incredible ambitions for their games, and we want to ensure that you receive the best, most polished versions of them." A recent update to Bethesda's support website (opens in new tab) confirmed that Starfield's release is still targeted for the first half of the year. Its original release date was planned for November 11, 2022. Starfield is launching in the first half of 2023. Starfield release date Is there a Starfield release date? ![]()
