Once character creation is done, the player character must then explore the open world (or rather open space) through interstellar travel. More traits can also be unlocked which may help or hinder them in some way, opening up a versatile system of generating distinct characters. The player will then choose the character's traits to define what the character is. The player can also choose the background for the character to unlock three skills. Planets can have both procedurally generated and handmade content.Īs with most RPGs by Bethesda, the game will start by creating the player character, which can be customized with different appearances and designs. Each planet has been filled with alien flora and fauna, based on the star in the system and the atmosphere that created its ecosystem. The big feature of the game is the immensely large open world, consisting of more than 1,000 planets that players can travel to and individually explore. The POV in Starfield can be switched between the first-person and third-person perspective. 20 years later, the game follows the journey of the main character as the member of Constellation, an organization dedicated to explore the galaxy and discover answers to age old questions, including the origins of life on planets. The events of the game take place in the year 2330 after the Colony War between the two factions: the United Colonies and the Freestar Collective. Starfield is set in the fictional setting of The Settled Systems, an area that extends in the Milky Way Galaxy for about 50 light years. Starfield has the unique distinction of being the first game developed and published by Bethesda as a brand new intellectual property in over 25 years, rather than its already established properties like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. It is scheduled for a full retail release on September 6, 2023. Starfield is a massive open-world science fiction RPG developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks for the Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
