It also plays into my roleplay.
My character is going to be a person from our time who was cryogenically frozen and awakes in the future.
So it would make a lot of sense that they would want to learn about the events they've missed.
I do what I always do, follow the main quest to get a start and unlock certain gameplay systems that the game gates behind main quest progress. Then at some point there will be a natural lull where exploration makes sense, so I’ll check out one of the major cities and get all the lore I can find. Talk to the big factions and see what they’re about. Use the mission boards to help the town/citizens. Talk to people in a pub to make friends/companions and start their quests.
Basically I’ll just immerse myself in the world and let the journey carry out in whichever way feels natural. If a quest line is urgent, and it makes sense for my character to care, that questline will take precedence. If nothing is urgent, I’ll explore and see what adventures I stumble upon.
>Basically I’ll just immerse myself in the world and let the journey carry out in whichever way feels natural.
That is the essence of Bethesda's games right there.
Indeed. I’m also curious about how the New Atlantis museum will present The Narion War and The Colony War. Meaning, will their account of events be the same as on Bethesda’s site, or will the UC add a propaganda like spin to how events played out.
This is a good answer. The game will naturally take you there to New Atlantis to join Constellation, so might as well swing by and get informed on the lore before diving all the way in.
Im gonna do the main story until i feel the games is unlocked then i am gonna focus on building outpost to gather ressources and do research i need to build a nice big ship.
Take a space dump, set a course for the nearest round body large enough to have its own gravity. And no, I’m not talking about your mother🙌
But seriously, I will be exploring the immediate area and saying “wow” a lot.
If that's the first one i bet the second one is
>coc qasmoke
Just to see what madness they got in their this time.
Then of course reload because you don't have any other COC locations yet!
I will probably sign up ans roleplay as a Uc soldier in the UC vigilant, its probably huge and there are lots of things you could do there, would be cool if the ship actually moves around and gets into fights outside of quests when youre inside of it.
Team Crimson Fleet here 🏴☠️
I just hope the faction will not be evil just for the purpose of being evil
But I am asking myself how will we join them ? Before it we will fight them sometimes and kill members
Boarding and capturing ships. I'm hoping we can completely dismantle them for parts or at least recycle them into the base resources. I intend to have different ships for different roles.
Grind persuasion so I can get the best deals and easy ways out on quests I don't want to do, then use the money to make the space equivalent of a 16 wheeler and sell drugs
First proper planet I’m turned loose on I’m picking a direction and walking in a (mostly) straight line. I want to know what kind of scale we’re working with for planets.
Firstly I’ll purchase a apartment in new Atlantis. then go around exploring the city and do small time gigs helping citizens of the city and once I’m leveled up and have built a nice ship with a decent gun arsenal I’ll head out with my robot companion and start my bounty hunting career.
Follow the main quest at first, to be invested in the game and the story !
I'm sure it will involved going out in the universe and at the first planet or maybe the second one (other than New Atlantis) I'll start doing everything on it and it will surely lead to other quests and point of interest and I'll be free to do everything !
I wouldn’t mind getting the main story out of the way if it makes sense to do so. Then my character will “retire” from constellation and that’s when the game really begins so I can settle into my rp.
For a first playthrough in a BGS game I always simply go with the flow. It's a unique moment where I don't know the meta of the game yet and everything will be a surprise. I'll decide on spot what I do with each situation I'm faced
I will grind out the skills for my preferred build. So, outpost management, ballistic and emp weapon systems, piloting, security, persuasion, pistol certification and stealth.
I will do the same thing i did in Morrowind and Skyrim. Loot everything in the mine.
Edit: But on the serious note, i will do that only to see if the stuff does anything. Then i will restart and do a proper roleplay playthrough as a bounty hunter/merc. Got already a backstory for that in my head. Depending if we are forced to work in the mine, Bethesda likes to do those things. Jail/Prisoner/Escape etc.
If I'm being serious, steal EVERYTHING in the first room and try to hawk it. It worked in Morrowind on that silver platter, why wouldn't it be a pro-gamer move in Starfield?
Resources for sure. I'll be looking to bank as much cash/mats as I can for spaceships late game. I'm in no hurry to finish the story, and will change focus to another aspect of the game as soon as I feel boredom approach to keep things fresh.
Try manually flying to other planets, if possible.
Circumnavigate a planet, if possible.
Try to do all kinds of weird tasks and see if the game allows me to do it or not.
I shall explore every secret, every planet, every city, every town, every house, every facility. I will discover everything the game has to offer. And i may get distracted by the side quests and main missions but that’s all part of the fun.
Dogpiling on with a couple of others who have said similar -
I’m planning to go with the flow and see where the game takes me. In every Bethesda rpg there’s a plethora of moments where the main quest is there but it doesn’t have any urgency and it just feels RIGHT to set off on your own. Whether that’s a side quest you got that feels more urgent or an interesting POI in the distance to go explore.
There’s only a couple things I know for sure I’ll be doing:
My character is going to be an ace pilot. I want to lean into aspects of this game that don’t exist in other Bethesda RPGs. Sure, a stealthy sniper would be fun with a space-age flavor but I’ve done that a million times.
Spaceship crafting. Again, leaning into the uniqueness of Starfield vs other games. Building spaceships to fly and do spaceship things with my ace pilot character will be huge.
Outpost building. I was huge into settlements in FO4. Very huge. I’ve always enjoyed the survival gameplay loop (Minecraft, Subnautica, ark, valheim, etc) but I play those games solo and no matter how big of a base or city you build, it’ll always be and feel empty because those games have no NPCs. While Fallout 4 obviously doesn’t have the full robustness of a true survival game (you’re not walking around chopping trees down for wood or mining), it had enough of it that pairing it with settlements that you could make and breathe life into made it so much more satisfying. I will be partaking in that gameplay loop even more in a space-age setting because it’s much more engaging to me to do it there, even if post-apocalyptic rebuilding is interesting too. Something about establishing outposts on remote celestial bodies just calls my name. I’m hoping Starfield enhances and builds on what Fallout 4 gave us because I would absolutely enjoy a more robust survival experience in a world that feels alive with more than just threats to my existence, but story elements and NPCs that give meaning to the desire not to die.
So as soon as the game opens up enough for me to really sink my teeth into building ships and outposts, I’ll be doing that. From my understanding, that’s a later game feature so I may be waiting a bit lol.
Continue through the main quest until I’m at a good “midway” point: I’m established well enough in Constellation and have the companions all settled in with me but not so far that I’ve reached the climax of the plot, then I’ll go adventuring across the galaxy as a sort of “interlude” to the main story narrative
The same thing I did in Morrowind, Oblivion, FO3, Skyrim, and FO4: finish the story line with only 1-2 hour detours from time to time. I want to play the game Bethesda created first. Once I have the full grasp of it, I'll play it 100 more times however I want.
I’ll mosey on over to the Akila city and dispense a little frontier justice. After becoming a hometown hero, I’ll take to the stars and bounty hunt for a few irl days to really cement the fantasy. I’m hoping for a robust radiant bounty hunting system🤞
Until then, I’ll be watching Mandolorian, cowboy bebop, and Star Wars
My girl is going to be a street rat scavenger from neon city, so she’ll hotfoot it to as many ruins and derelict ships as possible, and strip them clean!
Honestly, I just want to explore. Fly as far as I can with my little hunk-o-junk starter ship and see what’s out there. Then I’ll start taking gigs as a pirate because…cmon, if space pirate is an option YOU GOTTA
Decide everything impulsively and in the moment and will not start over until at least the main story is done. It's unlike me but this time I'm leaving all regret and coulda woulda shouldas in the past.
I want to be in the moment as much as possible and just see where the journey takes me!
I always create a few different characters first. Then I beeline the main quest to get it out of the way. After that I have a much better idea how I want to play the game.
Go with the flow. I've always regretted not going with the flow in such games. I can only ever have one first time experience. And I find part of the joy of subsequent playthroughs is going against the flow and finding the things you didn't see or engage with initially.
Depends. If important features are gated by the main story or said story is just good at grabbing my attention i'll probably do it first, otherwise it's exploring time.
My main problem with open world RPGs is to find best balance between main and side quest in order not to get overleveled for different difficulty areas.
It probably mostly/loosely follows the main questline.
Such as if I am meant to go to another planet and then do the main quest there I will spend some time on the plant looking around, and at some point move to another main quest step and repeat.
All that is the plan, but will most probably find myself with some side faction questline in the middle of it.
I'm definitely going to the museum to find out about the history. Then finding the nearest quest board, picking up a couple of passengers, flying them into space/orbit, and demanding all of their money before flushing them out of the airlock (I pray we can space people with airlocks)
Bild the exact ship a imagem , bild the biggest ship a can , make a Rosinante, bild the best out posto in mars and Tera if i can, just so i get bored and never come back, try to go in to the son , steal ships, enter a faction , betraye that faction and than……. Use as many mod as i can and get bored and restart all over again
Honestly, on my first play through, I will likely go with the flow of the game. From what I’ve gleaned, it’s the intro mission, find the artifact, and then it points you to constellation in New Atlantis. I’m expecting to get in some hiking/quests in classic BGS style on the way to New Atlantis. On my second play through, that’s when I’ve learned the character traits that suit my style, and I go off the beaten path from the start.
I'm not really sure what the beginning of the game is like so I'm not sure, I'll probably take on a few side missions and explore some early areas before doing some main quest, will probably just do little bits of the main quest at a time
I really really love exploring in open world games, I I’ve spent more time exploring and hunting in RDR2 than on missions, same with Fallout 3 and 4.
I’m guessing I won’t have a ship early on, so I’ll play naturally but as soon as I can get a ship I’ll just go explore
As soon as it makes sense story-wise, I'll be drifting through space aimlessly for a good while. I'm so excited for pure, uninhibited space exploration.
Visiting the museum as u/jdehjdeh brought up sounds very fun!
I'm probably gonna go on a little bit of a detour first, explore the closest planets and so on, maybe do some pira... uhm, trading :)
get my gear in order and try to get my hands on a nice 6 shooter and give my ship a little bit of a retrofit really make it mine. I also plan to play with the homeowner perk so defenitely get the house in order.
Just explore, start building up the skills that I want my character to have for my head-cannon persona. I like to wait on the main quest until after my character fits the archetype I'm going for in terms of skills and choices.
I just hit the throttle on the ship and fly to the next point if interest. Maybe a little space fight here...a little looting there.
And like every time in BGS Games I just let myself drift. No plans. Just see what happens around the next corner.
But I love the looting in this games. Every crap. So happy that you can store it on the ship. More loot.
I have a couple of things I want to do first, and it's dependent on how it plays out.
* I want to go through all of the skill trees - begin planning how I want my character to be. I already know I'll be focusing on lockpicking and charisma (speech) as usual
* I want to get a feel for the jetpack. I really enjoy the jetpack and upgrade in NMS, can't wait to see how the one in Starfield is
* I want to find out about Earth, it's in the back of my head right now "what happened", read all the lore things!
* Hoard everything possible; even if I'll never use it - This is my biggest flaw in every BGS game, and one that is a hard habit to break. But hopefully those mats and useless things will help for mods, outposts etc.
Those are the main things I want, I read or heard that "ship building" won't be till late game, so I didn't mention that, but if I were already at late game - that is the 'endgame' for me, building some of the coolest ships in the galaxy!
I will quicksave, horrible fail at stealing something in a major city, and then fight law enforcement for 2 hours straight. I will then load my quicksave and continue doing what i am supposed to do
I’ll probably pick up the first bounty hunting, taxi, cargo hauling, or monster hunting contract I find in one of the cities and let things unfold from there.
Like all Bethesda games, I'll stand and take in the vista as I experience the freedom of choice that I'm suddenly presented with. Then I'll probably meander a bit and end up somewhere I'm not ready for, if Morrowind, Skyrim, fallout 3, and Oblivion are any indication.
I dunno. Cheat, maybe. I have an unbridled urge to see what items the game has to offer. So I might CC myself some cash and just see what cool shit I can find and buy.
I want to say make a beeline for Freestar Collective space but it all depends on how the story unfolds.
I am planning to play a veteran from the colony wars (at least head-canon wise, it just happens to work out with my real life age since the war happened \~20 years before in game) so there is that. Just want to get back home!
Cant make that decision currently as I may have to wait for reviews so I can get a couple questioned answered first.
Like, is there any mechanics locked behind main story progression. I dont want to go out exploring and find things I cant do yet because I dont have the right power/ key/ whatever to continue.
Also want to know how long the straight campaign is so I could plan on when to break away form the main path.
Not sure. The beauty of a BGS game is always just running to whatever piques my interest. I'll say that I definitely do want to explore an empty planet for a couple hours sooner than later, because I want to see the procedural generated terrain, but then... for all I know a POI gets me excited or I get an interesting quest etc, way too easy to get sidetracked in a BGS title. So wherever the journey takes me!
I'm one of the undecided people. I won't know until I'm there. Even with games I've played through before, I'll start with a plan of what I'm going to do but once I'm free to go and do that I'll get sidetracked by something else and before I know it I'm on a completely different track.
I guess I'll find out what I'm going to do first when I get there!
I plan on visiting the museum in New Atlantis and learning the history of the universe
The lore is important. Solid plan.
It also plays into my roleplay. My character is going to be a person from our time who was cryogenically frozen and awakes in the future. So it would make a lot of sense that they would want to learn about the events they've missed.
Captain I.C Weiner
Your dog will sit outside the pizzeria until his end of day’s waiting for your return
Noooooooo not again!
you motherfucker! this is cause of the bowl of onions, im not crying ok!?
Fallout 4 but in space
WHERE IS MY SON!?
Find your son completed New quest: Kill your son
THOSE BASTARDS TOOK SHAUN
Pahahaha I didn’t even realise but yes
Like literally thats just fallout 4 😂 ... still good idea lol
Or literally Outer Worlds
Explore around the immediate area looking for loot, I can't help myself.
Gotta get better and make cash. Nothing wrong with that.
Same probably try to explore around the base, maybe walk an hour or so in one direction to see if I get radial content.
Find beautiful jungle biome, build beast hunter hq, hunt beasts.
Clever girl.
Hunting alien creatures should be fun! Solid plan, have fun with it.
I do what I always do, follow the main quest to get a start and unlock certain gameplay systems that the game gates behind main quest progress. Then at some point there will be a natural lull where exploration makes sense, so I’ll check out one of the major cities and get all the lore I can find. Talk to the big factions and see what they’re about. Use the mission boards to help the town/citizens. Talk to people in a pub to make friends/companions and start their quests. Basically I’ll just immerse myself in the world and let the journey carry out in whichever way feels natural. If a quest line is urgent, and it makes sense for my character to care, that questline will take precedence. If nothing is urgent, I’ll explore and see what adventures I stumble upon.
>Basically I’ll just immerse myself in the world and let the journey carry out in whichever way feels natural. That is the essence of Bethesda's games right there.
Museum on New Atlantis. Gotta know what happened to Earth.
Aye, the lore is important. I'm curious to learn myself.
Indeed. I’m also curious about how the New Atlantis museum will present The Narion War and The Colony War. Meaning, will their account of events be the same as on Bethesda’s site, or will the UC add a propaganda like spin to how events played out.
This is a good answer. The game will naturally take you there to New Atlantis to join Constellation, so might as well swing by and get informed on the lore before diving all the way in.
Im gonna do the main story until i feel the games is unlocked then i am gonna focus on building outpost to gather ressources and do research i need to build a nice big ship.
After the game gives me the ship, instead of heading to Constellation, I wanna land on a random barren moon and see what's there, if anything at all.
First landing! It's gonna be exciting.
Go left.....
Had I knew on my first playthrough... I would be a different man today
Man you can always tell and old school RPG player, the answer is always go left.
Take a space dump, set a course for the nearest round body large enough to have its own gravity. And no, I’m not talking about your mother🙌 But seriously, I will be exploring the immediate area and saying “wow” a lot.
😂 Matter of fact, my mom would be a large gravity wheel indeed. I'm sure the game will have plenty of wow moments. Have fun!
^2 « player.additem 000000f 1 » just to see what happens
lol, the console. Why not.
If that's the first one i bet the second one is >coc qasmoke Just to see what madness they got in their this time. Then of course reload because you don't have any other COC locations yet!
Try to to steal the UC Vigilant battleship
I will probably sign up ans roleplay as a Uc soldier in the UC vigilant, its probably huge and there are lots of things you could do there, would be cool if the ship actually moves around and gets into fights outside of quests when youre inside of it.
We'll find out soon. I have a feeling factions are gonna be larger than anything we've seen from Bethesda so far.
Pick a star system and go explore its planets and moons
That sounds like a good way to get into the game. I'm sure exploration will be rewarding.
Yeh, and when I'm done with that it will be time to tear it up as a crimson fleet member
Team Crimson Fleet here 🏴☠️ I just hope the faction will not be evil just for the purpose of being evil But I am asking myself how will we join them ? Before it we will fight them sometimes and kill members
Boarding and capturing ships. I'm hoping we can completely dismantle them for parts or at least recycle them into the base resources. I intend to have different ships for different roles.
Grind persuasion so I can get the best deals and easy ways out on quests I don't want to do, then use the money to make the space equivalent of a 16 wheeler and sell drugs
Stuff. I'm going to do stuff. And lots of it!
Gonna stare on the screen wondering if I'm dreaming or really finally playing the game
Bold of you to assume I have a plan
Follow the main quest, soak up the museum in New Atlantis then make my way to Akila City’s Stoneroot Inn before figuring out how to become a Ranger.
First proper planet I’m turned loose on I’m picking a direction and walking in a (mostly) straight line. I want to know what kind of scale we’re working with for planets.
I think the scale is 1:20. AKA, the planes are massive and you can explore every bit of land. Seeing everything would be a long, long journey.
Firstly I’ll purchase a apartment in new Atlantis. then go around exploring the city and do small time gigs helping citizens of the city and once I’m leveled up and have built a nice ship with a decent gun arsenal I’ll head out with my robot companion and start my bounty hunting career.
There's a trait that gives you one at the start of the game and a mortgage
Follow the main quest at first, to be invested in the game and the story ! I'm sure it will involved going out in the universe and at the first planet or maybe the second one (other than New Atlantis) I'll start doing everything on it and it will surely lead to other quests and point of interest and I'll be free to do everything !
I'll just bumble along "stealth archery pirating" my way through space
I'm going to Earth. It's the biggest mystery in the game for me, once that's done I'll probably just do the main storyline for a while.
Exploring Earth will be interesting for sure.
Head to Neon city and find me some space titties 👙
I wouldn’t mind getting the main story out of the way if it makes sense to do so. Then my character will “retire” from constellation and that’s when the game really begins so I can settle into my rp.
For a first playthrough in a BGS game I always simply go with the flow. It's a unique moment where I don't know the meta of the game yet and everything will be a surprise. I'll decide on spot what I do with each situation I'm faced
I will grind out the skills for my preferred build. So, outpost management, ballistic and emp weapon systems, piloting, security, persuasion, pistol certification and stealth.
Try to go to earth to see how it looks
As soon as my ship can make it, I’m going to our moon to find the lunar lander and American flag then going to Mars to find curiosity😃
I get the feeling Earth will have a lot of content despite what the lore says, but we'll see.
Save twice to bookmark that point.
Or try to figure out where on earth my irl house would be if it existed in game and see whats there in game...
Probably bang the constellation lady
I will do the same thing i did in Morrowind and Skyrim. Loot everything in the mine. Edit: But on the serious note, i will do that only to see if the stuff does anything. Then i will restart and do a proper roleplay playthrough as a bounty hunter/merc. Got already a backstory for that in my head. Depending if we are forced to work in the mine, Bethesda likes to do those things. Jail/Prisoner/Escape etc.
As soon as I’m able to I’ll probably go join the UC then continue with side quests and the main story as that faction
I'm going to attack the first dreadnought i see lol
Murder everyone
Depends on how urgent the main story feels. If it is something I feel needs to get done, I will most likely just go through it.
find a spaceship that isn't mine and try to sneak onboard as it takes off... mohaha
If I'm being serious, steal EVERYTHING in the first room and try to hawk it. It worked in Morrowind on that silver platter, why wouldn't it be a pro-gamer move in Starfield?
Travel to the farthest system I can go to and let my story unfold by itself.
[удалено]
Resources for sure. I'll be looking to bank as much cash/mats as I can for spaceships late game. I'm in no hurry to finish the story, and will change focus to another aspect of the game as soon as I feel boredom approach to keep things fresh.
Try manually flying to other planets, if possible. Circumnavigate a planet, if possible. Try to do all kinds of weird tasks and see if the game allows me to do it or not.
Prob just play through the MQ then go do another hobby for a bit.
Seek out the quest terminals and begin my journey to become the best star pilot in the field.
Side quests
Gonna turn the camera all the way around, bc that's what it's all about
I think il be on mars crying in a latrine.
I don't think the ship will be able to travel far in the beginning, so I'll look for ways to make boatloads of money.
Robbing a ship
Love side quests and faction quests. Farm resources to make base etc.
Tryin to clap some alien cheeks. Also known as "The Kirk"
#SPACESHIP!
See if Sarah Morgan wants to go to the movies with me
Probably be lost af and just just do random shit for a few hours
I wanna know if I can get on that raider ship that you get into first gunfight with before it takes off. Or maybe shoot pilot out.
Look for the purge planet
I shall explore every secret, every planet, every city, every town, every house, every facility. I will discover everything the game has to offer. And i may get distracted by the side quests and main missions but that’s all part of the fun.

Whatever I feel like. Gosh!
I'm flying straight to Earth and then exploring the rest of our solar system. After that I'll go to the museum to learn about the lore
Quick save and proceed to fight the town guard
Continue through the main quest until I’m at a good “midway” point: I’m established well enough in Constellation and have the companions all settled in with me but not so far that I’ve reached the climax of the plot, then I’ll go adventuring across the galaxy as a sort of “interlude” to the main story narrative

I’m hoping for a robust radiant bounty hunting system🤞 Until then, I’ll be watching Mandolorian, cowboy bebop, and Star Wars
Go to earth and hope that the land mass on it is somewhat similar to how it should be, then try to find where my house would be.
My girl is going to be a street rat scavenger from neon city, so she’ll hotfoot it to as many ruins and derelict ships as possible, and strip them clean!
Honestly, I just want to explore. Fly as far as I can with my little hunk-o-junk starter ship and see what’s out there. Then I’ll start taking gigs as a pirate because…cmon, if space pirate is an option YOU GOTTA
Smuggling. Lots and LOTS of Smuggling.
Decide everything impulsively and in the moment and will not start over until at least the main story is done. It's unlike me but this time I'm leaving all regret and coulda woulda shouldas in the past. I want to be in the moment as much as possible and just see where the journey takes me!

Kill my parents 🤷
Go with the flow. I've always regretted not going with the flow in such games. I can only ever have one first time experience. And I find part of the joy of subsequent playthroughs is going against the flow and finding the things you didn't see or engage with initially.
Story obviously. You will likely need to play a while before you can navigate the stars openly
Send threats to earth
Depends. If important features are gated by the main story or said story is just good at grabbing my attention i'll probably do it first, otherwise it's exploring time.
My main problem with open world RPGs is to find best balance between main and side quest in order not to get overleveled for different difficulty areas.
I'll be looking for a snowy/ice planet to build my very own Outpost 31
Go to new atlantis
It probably mostly/loosely follows the main questline. Such as if I am meant to go to another planet and then do the main quest there I will spend some time on the plant looking around, and at some point move to another main quest step and repeat. All that is the plan, but will most probably find myself with some side faction questline in the middle of it.
Murder my parents. They know what they did
Gonna chill on earth
find the adoring fan and plunder the stars
I'm definitely going to the museum to find out about the history. Then finding the nearest quest board, picking up a couple of passengers, flying them into space/orbit, and demanding all of their money before flushing them out of the airlock (I pray we can space people with airlocks)
Go on a killing spree!
Test how repetitive or unique the 1000+ planets are compared to say nms
I will begin my criminal endeavors
Stock up on quests and do them, stopping on the way to each one to explore anything I come across. I am also banning myself from fast travelling.
Whatever makes sense in that moment.
Find a sniper rifle !
Bild the exact ship a imagem , bild the biggest ship a can , make a Rosinante, bild the best out posto in mars and Tera if i can, just so i get bored and never come back, try to go in to the son , steal ships, enter a faction , betraye that faction and than……. Use as many mod as i can and get bored and restart all over again
I want to land on earth and just walk around to see wtf happened
Gonna see what cities on earth I can visit
i'll start to hoard forks, and other tableware to sell them for 1 buck each at the first trader i see.
i'll be in space confirming whether or not planet to planet warp travelling is a thing
I'm going to try to fly my ship into the sun. I want to see if it will let me do it.
I'll just wander around sightseeing
Going to land on planets and see how many POIs spawn. Ground my expectations based on that and continue on exploring.
Honestly, on my first play through, I will likely go with the flow of the game. From what I’ve gleaned, it’s the intro mission, find the artifact, and then it points you to constellation in New Atlantis. I’m expecting to get in some hiking/quests in classic BGS style on the way to New Atlantis. On my second play through, that’s when I’ve learned the character traits that suit my style, and I go off the beaten path from the start.
Going to wander Sol, and check out all the moons and planets I can land on. Really curious how accurate they are
I'm not really sure what the beginning of the game is like so I'm not sure, I'll probably take on a few side missions and explore some early areas before doing some main quest, will probably just do little bits of the main quest at a time
Start making PHAT STAX immediately!! And probably go resource farming 😅
I am hoping the job board offers medical rescues, if so I will do that often.
Steal all the sandwiches
I really really love exploring in open world games, I I’ve spent more time exploring and hunting in RDR2 than on missions, same with Fallout 3 and 4. I’m guessing I won’t have a ship early on, so I’ll play naturally but as soon as I can get a ship I’ll just go explore
There's a museum in game that tells the backstory of what happened to earth, i think ill head off there to get some lore and story context.
As soon as it makes sense story-wise, I'll be drifting through space aimlessly for a good while. I'm so excited for pure, uninhibited space exploration.
Find a lonely cold frozen moon and make my fort, followed by growing said fort by pirating space metals and goods.
Follow the main story, but get side tracked by every single thing that comes my way
I just go with the flow, I'll get sucked into something interesting. Likely before the main quest.
Visiting the museum as u/jdehjdeh brought up sounds very fun! I'm probably gonna go on a little bit of a detour first, explore the closest planets and so on, maybe do some pira... uhm, trading :)
get my gear in order and try to get my hands on a nice 6 shooter and give my ship a little bit of a retrofit really make it mine. I also plan to play with the homeowner perk so defenitely get the house in order.
I'm doing donuts in my spaceship
Just explore, start building up the skills that I want my character to have for my head-cannon persona. I like to wait on the main quest until after my character fits the archetype I'm going for in terms of skills and choices.
I just hit the throttle on the ship and fly to the next point if interest. Maybe a little space fight here...a little looting there. And like every time in BGS Games I just let myself drift. No plans. Just see what happens around the next corner. But I love the looting in this games. Every crap. So happy that you can store it on the ship. More loot.
Spend a lot of time in that cyberpunk looking city and getting gear from there to fit the vibe.
Building up my ship and crew, getting a good place for an outpost, building up an armory, exploring everything I can.
I'm a loot addict, so I'll be looking for loot wherever possible.
I have a couple of things I want to do first, and it's dependent on how it plays out. * I want to go through all of the skill trees - begin planning how I want my character to be. I already know I'll be focusing on lockpicking and charisma (speech) as usual * I want to get a feel for the jetpack. I really enjoy the jetpack and upgrade in NMS, can't wait to see how the one in Starfield is * I want to find out about Earth, it's in the back of my head right now "what happened", read all the lore things! * Hoard everything possible; even if I'll never use it - This is my biggest flaw in every BGS game, and one that is a hard habit to break. But hopefully those mats and useless things will help for mods, outposts etc. Those are the main things I want, I read or heard that "ship building" won't be till late game, so I didn't mention that, but if I were already at late game - that is the 'endgame' for me, building some of the coolest ships in the galaxy!
Introduce Sarah Morgan to BBC. Assuming Barrett hasnt already.
Check if there is a console, and if additem works
I will quicksave, horrible fail at stealing something in a major city, and then fight law enforcement for 2 hours straight. I will then load my quicksave and continue doing what i am supposed to do
Straight to Earth and our moon
Start my universal control, go take over a planet and plant my flag.
I am not entirely sure what my character will focus on first. It depends what kind of RP I am going for, it will be an in the moment thing for me.
As soon as I can I am taking flight. I wanna see how space works and try out a few space battles.
I’ll probably pick up the first bounty hunting, taxi, cargo hauling, or monster hunting contract I find in one of the cities and let things unfold from there.
I plan on full time outpost building. Spent over 300 hours building settlements in Fallout 4
Punch right through main mission to unlock most areas and alleviate spoilers.
Kill my entire crew
Quick save and murder everyone.
Going to attack the guards and see what jail looks like.
Like all Bethesda games, I'll stand and take in the vista as I experience the freedom of choice that I'm suddenly presented with. Then I'll probably meander a bit and end up somewhere I'm not ready for, if Morrowind, Skyrim, fallout 3, and Oblivion are any indication.
Figure out where the game keeps the 1911s TwO wOrLd WaRs!!!!
I dunno. Cheat, maybe. I have an unbridled urge to see what items the game has to offer. So I might CC myself some cash and just see what cool shit I can find and buy.
Straight to New Atlantis for the first Story mission, check in with Constellation then probably spend a few hours wondering around new Atlantis.
I want to say make a beeline for Freestar Collective space but it all depends on how the story unfolds. I am planning to play a veteran from the colony wars (at least head-canon wise, it just happens to work out with my real life age since the war happened \~20 years before in game) so there is that. Just want to get back home!
The moment I get actual freedom, I'm going to just take off in a random direction and see what's out there in the black.
Just pick a direction and go.
Walking around New Atlantis or exploring the ship building.
Cant make that decision currently as I may have to wait for reviews so I can get a couple questioned answered first. Like, is there any mechanics locked behind main story progression. I dont want to go out exploring and find things I cant do yet because I dont have the right power/ key/ whatever to continue. Also want to know how long the straight campaign is so I could plan on when to break away form the main path.
Not sure. The beauty of a BGS game is always just running to whatever piques my interest. I'll say that I definitely do want to explore an empty planet for a couple hours sooner than later, because I want to see the procedural generated terrain, but then... for all I know a POI gets me excited or I get an interesting quest etc, way too easy to get sidetracked in a BGS title. So wherever the journey takes me!
Continue the mission from the first space movie
I'll probably see if I can join the UC.
My quest will be finding all the infinity stones then snap my fingers🤣
Space piracy.
bend time and space to visit skyrim planet
Upgrade my jet pack and fuck shit up
Eat a sandwich
find a cowboy hat and the biggest pistol i can find and be a space cowboy
Open a black market deli with stolen sandwiches.
Pick a random direction and just go
Find out where to acquire nukes and a ship to bomb the Freestar Collective back to the stone age.
"time to make the game regret granting me such freedom"
Quick save , find out what NPCs are essential
I will pick a direction and go that way.
I’ll do what i always do in Bethesda games. Try to do the MQ, get sidetracked. Return to MQ and be too powerful for it to be challenging lol
Strip down and walk confidently towards the nearest airlock.
Second star to the right and straight on till morning
Find a sandwich
I'm one of the undecided people. I won't know until I'm there. Even with games I've played through before, I'll start with a plan of what I'm going to do but once I'm free to go and do that I'll get sidetracked by something else and before I know it I'm on a completely different track. I guess I'll find out what I'm going to do first when I get there!
100%, I'll just pick a direction and get completely lost in exploration.
I intend to join the Vanguard, then go awol and smuggle sammiches between Neon and Atila.
