ALL Starfield FACTIONS Explained! Mercenaries, Corporations, Religions & MORE!

[@RPGUnlocked]

Becoming the leader of every faction at once is the real endgame.

[@jamesnave1249]

I know you're joking, but I really hope that's not possible in game. I want my decisions to feel meaningful and having certain factions being mutually exclusive is a good way to contribute to that

[@twentyeighthunnid]

@@jamesnave1249 Aah yes, that good ol' New Vegas Yes Man ending >w>

[@Cibbic]

They said something about not having to be a leader if not at all but you'll influence different directions for that faction. Wouldn't mind or wouldn't be mad if you can be a leader though

[@punani_slayer4209]

​@@jamesnave1249nah i want to be the leader of all the factions like in Skyrim. Doing multiple playthroughs is a waste of time

I so appreciate your concern for avoiding spoilers. Please keep following that idea as we get through release. I am wondering if I should go completely dark or stick with a few content creators committed to avoiding spoilers.

[@tallish87]

Im going dark and not watching any early reviews cause i want to experience it all for myself. Been a long time since ive done this but this game is going to please me and cant wait to experience it for the first time

[@joshuadanielwoods9654]

@@tallish87agreed. Will be very difficult to do but I’m sure it will be 100% worth it to not watch/see a single thing

[@monkeeee]

Hopefully there is a hidden faction that is full of Todd Howard clones

[@RustedBuddy5192]

Gary!

[@tagmatarkhis-3330]

Yeah, it's called "Bethesda"

[@TheDoctor-md8by]

I wonder if choosing “kid stuff” and bring your parents back. And then picking a specific religion would change the interaction you would have and/ or the aesthetics of your parents house.

[@SprayInk-Kreatïv-Nouveau]

no, traits don't interact between them but im sure there's mods for that

[@TedTennyson]

When i think of starfieild, i remember the title of a book that i read when i was younger " Stars in my pocket like grains of sand" Love your content and am a bgs fan

[@Facetiously.Esoteric]

Delaney, great writer.

[@mikkelnpetersen]

That's one thing I just *LOVE* about games, the lore, the history being factions and locations, how did they form, what are their agendas, why do they do things the way they do, it gives the games LIFE.

[@stablestoic1491]

Informative! Keep up the great work.

[@LeFaisDoDo]

My favorite thing about how bethesda handles politics is how they don’t pick sides

[@toasteroven5636]

I like these videos. They feel less clickbaity than most others

[@SaintActual]

I swear to Christ, if the cowboy faction doesn't have a TON of Firefly references IMA BE PISSED.

[@baldygrey2779]

I will most definitely be naming my character Jerry Starfield and hopefully there is a pseudo-mullet haircut available.

[@Rayvon69]

Awesome thank you 🤟🤟😍😍. Your videos are slices of happiness while I wait for the game CHEERS! I cant wait for release 😂😂

[@deanbelei1137]

Dawg every main story line in every Bethesda game is definitely the most memorable part. LIBERTY PRIME DUDE, FIGHTING FINAL BATTLE IN NEW VAGAS, KILLING ULFRIC

[@therealgreg5653]

So the "United Colonies" fought the "Freestar Collective" in the "Colonies War".... So Firefly Unification War... awesome!

[@DrNothing23]

A few things: 1) @5:28 You said "2033", instead of "2330" 2) Also, the star system "Sagan" is NOT pronounced "Say GAHN", it's pronounced "SAY Gun", as in CARL SAGAN, the extremely world famous astronomer and science communicator. 3) "Psycho TROE pic", not Psycho TRAH pic". 4) Kudos on mentioning the Trade Alliance. You're literally the only content creator covering this that I've seen do so.

[@myki3angelo]

Says 2033 at 2:22 as well lol But great info overall! Much appreciated!

[@Kraxt0n]

Crimson fleet has one of the best storys yet!

[@TRDTYukiTV]

i hope theirs a mod one day or patch that actually brings active warfare to the game, similar to how certain mods increased faction warfare in the X Series games were the factions would actively control pockets of space and try to take enemy pockets, and certain system would just be straight up constant warzones

[@Lostflipper24]

I agree, but I don’t like how sometimes you’ll jump and there will be a battle. It makes it feel more like a guerrilla war instead of two major factions fighting

[@borisbosnjak4812]

Excellent overview!

[@stefanguiton]

Great videos as always!

[@Vennnaya]

Neon is inside the Freestar collective so i don't think its really fair to call Ryujin the governing body of the city, when they belong to a bigger faction to begin with

[@CFronTV]

assuming he means corporate corruption, the same way people in the US are under a govt but they all take money from outside corps

[@Midtierman]

Neon is run by a Kingpin. Ryujin has clout but still answer to gim

[@SuperSikarlo]

" Even though it is a corporate organization, it seems to be run by a criminal organization" That's because they're the same thing...

[@ShriBalaMukundam]

Wondering which would be the best colony for someone who wants to be a bounty hunter.

Nice summary... but what about Vanguard? Within a gameplay reveal they're even inviting you to join and seem to be kind of a military sub-faction of the UC.

That pistol in the thumbnail is so sick

[@jaweel6205]

Just got the game and finished the freestar rangers quest line. My first faction and I really enjoyed it, I will not say what the reward for completing the quest line was but I highly recommend going this route for anyone who has just gotten into the game

[@AnthonyAllenJr]

Just subscribed. Great work on your videos so far!!

[@gri22lybear]

I pre-ordered the Premium Edition! I genuinely believe that Starfield will be the most important game to release this generation! 🎉

[@metalklown]

I also ordered the premium upgrade.... I never do that but I felt it necessary this time. Bethesda deserves sales numbers, not game pass users. That 6 day early access doesn't hurt.

[@gri22lybear]

@@sirsneakybeaky show me scientific proof that this is even remotely true.

Hope we can atleast atmosphere fly, it makes sense to me that we can ngl.

Haha this is my plan aswell.

[@bloodwolf21]

I'm hoping we can become TOP G of the fleet!

[@LeFaisDoDo]

That notion about the main storylines not being memorable is only made by casual fans that repeat what some other random KZbinr said lol idk where that came from! It’s more like the side quests are just as long and good as the main story

[@wrydrune]

The artifact will be the platinum chip.

[@bluedragonstudios9004]

I hope they make a DLC where we make our own political faction to take over a few systems and maybe a war leading us to become emperor in a shivering isles like fashion

So u know there is a main story but I’m really hoping the story is large enough that the open world is easily explored during and even after the story is over.

[@hot_soup4319]

My plan is to join the Crimson Fleet and have a Wanted Gangster start with parents. I think it'd be kinda funny to be this big bad wanted Space Pirate Queen, who funnels some of her smuggling money to her parents to make sure they're living well.

[@PowerPlant03]

my plan is to join the UC so i can cosplay being in the space Navy. Ive always wanted to see a movie based on the empire in star wars like following a stormtrooper or star destroyer captain.

[@NerdEagle90]

My plan is to join the Freestar Collective as a bounty hunter with the heart of gold, hunting down wanted criminals and pirates.

[@Dressyone223]

I’m also thinking of joining the UC. I always like the more militaristic factions in Bethesda games, like the Empire or the NCR

[@SGTKILL995]

Gonna be a bounty hunter. Mace Griffin returns!

[@nashandra6634]

This very well could be the best game ever created, but keep in mind that promises can be broken and it could be missing the charm that oblivion had, or the charm that new Vegas had, but it’s definitely gonna be a fun game either way. I can’t wait

These factions have strong Star Sector airs.

[@corey2232]

After playing Baldur's Gate 3, I'm now kind of hoping Starfield is a bit more beginner-friendly in introducing its systems & all the things you can do 😅 I already feel so damn lost in BG3, from what to do, to the controls & how to manage everything, to keeping tabs on the millions of things it throws at you. I'm sure it'll end up being fun once I start treating it like a full time job, but when I can only commit to a couple hours at a time & have no D&D experience, it's overwhelming lol

[@tylerwillem8683]

It’s Bethesda so it shouldn’t be that hard

[@dralberthofmann]

Is Sagan supposed to refer to Carl Sagan? In which case I think it would pronounced “say-gun”.

QUESTIONS: Would there be 👽 in the game? How bout black holes 🕳 in the systems in the game ?

[@TheDoctor-md8by]

You trying to fly into a black hole??? 👀

[@LoneWolf-zh1wr]

@TheDoctor-md8by I'm just going to be nice. It would be nice to have black holes in the universe can't be a universe without black holes. Or have aliens in the universe now, would it. Or asteroid flying into planets. It would be nice to have all of this in the system. No, of course not. I wouldn't do that. If I want to, why not, tho . My choice, right? Or dog fight near black holes. Have an open mind. My question is why you ask about the aliens, why should the game not have aliens. Afraid beaing alien 👽 pet for experiments.

[@Forest9528]

Idk about black holes but as far as I know the main story revolves around finding other intelligent life but I've been avoiding spoilers so I don't exactly know

[@LordJaric]
