Following the Xbox Game Showcase, the highly anticipated Starfield Direct arrived with an extensive showcase of Bethesda Game Studios’ highly anticipated games.

The Starfield Direct lasted over 40 minutes and was packed with gameplay footage and developers discussing the game’s many features, including combat, exploration, space travel, character creation, companionship, outpost building, and more.it was many This guide will explain everything in detail.

Starfield welcomes you to visit over 1,000 planets and soar through the stars in your own ship

Starfield is going to be huge, but there’s no doubt about it, especially considering Bethesda reaffirmed that there are over 1,000 planets for players to visit. Not every planet is filled with life-changing quests, and some planets are barren beyond resources to gather, but Bethesda has created a galaxy chock-full of places to go.

These planets are filled with exotic flora and fauna, and lighting on the planets will be equally spectacular, as determined by the type of stars in the system and the planet’s atmosphere.

Bethesda also wants players to have unique, handcrafted experiences. This means that players may have a different experience than friends visiting the same planet. Bethesda’s planetary technology generates planets “as procedural content, but the handcrafted content itself is generated as players explore.”

This means that as the player approaches the starfield, it will piece together “blocks of terrain” to build a planet. Following that process, the game adds interesting locations to explore, creatures to encounter, and more on Earth, keeping things fresh and unique for each player. Of course, there are main story missions that all players experience the same way, but exploration makes for a completely different ballgame.

Upon arriving on a planet, the player can choose whether or not to build a kind of home outpost. These can be built almost anywhere on any planet and can even be customized to be the perfect place to relax surrounded by the stars. Buildings have also been upgraded, allowing players to create outposts with a top-down isometric view of building placements and major changes, and a first-person perspective to pinpoint those finer details.

Once built, players can assign crews and allies to work there, set up extractors to harvest resources, and set up systems to send cargo between outposts and housecraft and research stations. can be set up.

As if that wasn’t enough, players can also fly through the stars with their very own ship that can be customized in many ways. As an example of how flexible the ship building system can be, Starfield Direct showed someone building a ship that’s basically like Optimus His Prime.

Ships can be obtained in various ways. This includes simply buying as any good citizen does, or stealing if you want to get your hands a little dirty. Once in possession of the ship, rather than just pressing a button to fast travel to a planet, the player can actually pilot the ship to their next destination. This can actually be done as well.

Space is not always safe. Ship battles also occur within the territory. Bethesda wants these combat encounters to feel “exciting and dangerous” while giving players a great deal of control with their power allocation system. This allows players to increase engine power to make ships faster, or sacrifice some systems to keep shields strong. Players can also target specific parts of enemy ships for strategic victory.

Oh, and if players don’t want to engage in a dogfight, they can also head to an enemy ship and board it to kill the enemies inside. They then claim the ship as their own and gain access to it at any spaceport.

Create your own explorer, build your team and blast your way through the galaxy

Bethesda games aim to put you as the protagonist in a world that is as close to reality as possible, allowing you to fulfill your dream of living in a fantasy world. Living these virtual dreams is great, but being able to bring them to life with a character of your own creation that looks like you and a design of your choosing makes it even more special.

Starfield is no exception, featuring Bethesda’s “most detailed and diverse character creation system ever.” Players can choose from 40 preset he templates as a starting point for character creation, and customization expands greatly from there.

Because character creation is “more than physical appearance”, players can also choose backgrounds and traits that help define who they are in the world of Starfield. In the background you’ll see a little backstory along with the three skills. For example, Explorer starts with laser, celestial mechanics, and surveying skills. Others include Beast He Hunter, Bouncer, Chef, Cyber ​​His Runner, Gangster, Pilgrim, Ronin, and more.

Players will now be able to choose three more traits to further customize their character if desired. These traits have their pros and cons, which makes the choice a little more difficult. One of his includes Hero Worshiped, which causes “crazy fans” to “appear randomly and talk to you incessantly.” On the bright side, though, he could join your ship’s crew and give you gifts.

Starfields also have skills that the player can acquire through gameplay, leveling up in rank and becoming better as they complete the challenges associated with them. Security For example, his skill can be improved by picking locks, allowing him to pick stronger locks as his rank increases.

There are five skill categories: physical, social, combat, science, and technology, and they all play a role in making you…so…you.

Exploring the galaxy with all your might is great, but it’s even better when you have a friend by your side. In Starfield you will meet many people and robots who will join your crew and accompany you on your adventures. These crew members have unique skills that are invaluable to you. Among them are Sarah Morgan (celestial mechanics and lasers), Sam Coe (piloting and rifle qualification), and Barrett (spacecraft engineering and particle beam weapon systems). There are also companions to join you in the field, like Vasco, a robot designed “on the core basics of a NASA machine.”

You’ll encounter some crew members as you progress through the story, but more can be recruited in spaceports and other areas. And don’t worry, Companion has romance options.

Combat has also undergone a major overhaul in Starfield, making it much faster-paced than Fallout. As is clearly the pattern, there is a ton of customization and options when it comes to weapons, and this can be seen in the extensive mod system, energy and mag weapons, different types of bullets such as explosive types, and jetpacks that can be used to your advantage. You can such as in combat.

Combat, and the game as a whole, can be played in first or third person, and some weapons will shoot back even in zero gravity, so many factors are important to consider. before engaging the enemy.

Starfield has much more to offer, and these are just a few of what awaits players on September 6, 2023.
