Bethesda’s had issues with faces in the past, but the characters here look pretty good.

From what we saw of the environments and the various planets, the world appears packed. Also, a small note, but the new lockpicking mechanic looks really fun.Īs far as our first extensive look at Starfield goes, it looks great. We got to see how the combat system works, as well as interactions with creatures (both hostile and friendly), NPCs (again, friendly and not), as well as the harvesting mechanic used to mine useful and precious from the various planets. Of course, we got a pretty sizable chunk of gameplay footage. That being said, No Man’s Sky has bounced back, so we have faith in Bethesda. Starfield will have 100 different systems comprised of 1000 planets, and all of them can be explored.

Once your ship is created, you can then hire your own crew, and on top of all that, the vessel is fully flyable. According to Howard, the spaceships will be fully customizable with a comprehensive creative suite. But even more exciting than all of that is the ability to build your own spaceship. There will be detailed crafting mechanics and the option to build your own outposts where you can hire characters to inhabit and run said outposts. Starfield will feature an extensive skill system where you not only unlock skills but can also rank them up to make them more effective. Choices will matter, and there will be companions as well as rival factions and a character creator unlike any other from Bethesda. First, one of the more important notes is that it will be a true-to-form role-playing game. We got a lot of information regarding how Starfield will work as a game. Closing out the Xbox/Bethesda conference during Summer Game Fest 2022, everyone’s favorite Toddfather, Todd Howard, hopped on stage and gave us an awe-inspiring look at Starfield, the next big thing from Bethesda.
