Starfield, one of the most highly anticipated RPG games this year, is approaching its release. Bethesda, the iconic developer, recently held a Q&A session on Discord to answer fan questions about the game.
One interesting feature revealed during the session is the introduction of a jail system in Starfield. Similar to Bethesda’s other games, players will have the option to go to jail, pay a fine, or even resist arrest and try to escape. The game will explore themes of crime and punishment in its futuristic universe.
Bethesda also addressed the possibility of playing as a double agent. Players can join different factions in the game, such as the United Colonies and the Crimson Fleet, and complete their questlines independently without facing any trouble.
For history buffs, Bethesda shared information about the in-game mechs. These mechs are remnants from the Colony War, with the Freestar Collective being the faction that truly mastered them. Both mechs and alien creatures controlled by the United Colonies’ Xenoware division were outlawed after the war.
In terms of housing, Starfield will offer players the opportunity to purchase houses in different cities or receive them as rewards for specific quests. This feature will be reminiscent of the beloved in-game houses in Bethesda’s previous title, Skyrim.
The companion system in Starfield is shaping up to be solid. Companions will come at different ranks, depending on their abilities, and will provide various perks. Their skills will stack with the player’s skills when relevant, especially in combat situations.
Another intriguing feature in Starfield is the inclusion of various real-world religions as well as three brand-new belief systems. Players can encounter followers of religions such as Sanctum Universum, The Enlightened, and the House Va-ruun, who worship a celestial entity known as the Great Serpent.
In preparation for the game’s release, players can check the system requirements and explore the known Starfield cities. Additionally, for more information, a Starfield Database offers daily news, searchable databanks, and interactive tools.
With its jail system, diverse factions, housing options, compelling companion system, and immersive religions, Starfield is shaping up to be an exciting and immersive RPG experience. Fans of Bethesda’s previous games, such as Skyrim, can look forward to a new and unique adventure in the depths of space.
