While it cannot come close to No Man's Sky's 18 quintillion procedurally-generated planets, Starfield has 100 star systems collectively containing over 1,000 planets that appear to be even more diverse than NMS. Howard stopped short of saying ship configurations are infinite, but from what was shown, arrangements appear to be pretty vast.įinally, there is the exploration aspect of the game. Starships are modular with several different components from various manufacturers in the game. And that's not all you will build.Īrguably the most exciting feature is crafting your own ships. Land on a planet, harvest resources with your mining laser and construct to your heart's content. However, in this case, you will actually build the colonies from the ground up. You can hire NPCs to run and manage your outposts. Todd Howard didn't go deep into the crafting aspect, but it's safe to assume that making your own weapons will be at least as rewarding as Skyrim or Fallout 3.īase-building in Starfield will be a bit like Fallout 3's settlements. Of course, it wouldn't be a Bethesda game without crafting. We noted a few in the Combat tree: Sniper Certification, Targeting, Rapid Reloading, Heavy Weapons Certification, Demolitions, and Ballistics. Each skill also has leveled ranks to allow specialization. A few of the skill categories shown include Social, Combat, and Science.
Players should be able to tweak a build to fit whatever playstyle they want. Choose to be fat, thin, big chested, ugly, handsome - it's a bit like Fallout 3's character appearance settings.Īdditionally, the skills menus appear to be pretty deep. All the appearance settings you would expect are there. Until now, we've only seen some cinematic teasers, concept art, and background on "The Settled Systems." Yesterday's presentation gave a delicious look at character customization, shipbuilding, and combat, both on foot and in space.Ĭharacter customization appears more robust than in previous Bethesda RPGs, which is actually saying something because customization has been a strong point in games like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls. Well, clamor no more.ĭuring Sunday's Xbox Game Showcase, hosted by Microsoft and Bethesda, developers finally revealed some of Starfield's gameplay (masthead). However, one thing we have not seen is any of its gameplay, for which fans have been clamoring. Highly anticipated: To be fair, Bethesda has not been stingy with providing updates in the development of its next epic RPG Starfield.
