For the Aurora quest ONLY TAKE WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THE AURORA!! If you take everything, you’ll always get the least amount of credits. Make sure when the box comes down the conveyer belt, you push the button for TRANSFER! That way, you can go in and only grab what you need. Then you can do the rest as usual. You have plenty of time and you’ll get a lot more credits doing it this way.

Ervin wasn't Barretts "friend" it was his husband. And he didn't die in the mine. He died in the colony war shortly after.

Seriously? Maybe you got the Chinese version of the game where they censored all the things little children would be unfamiliar with. I know it's scary, but trust me it happens. Sometimes dudes want to be with other dudes. Now if you spend a lot of time thinking about how two dudes being in love makes you uncomfortable then you might want to go back to your room, scream into your pillow about how it's "all so not fair, and I'm being persecuted because the gays are invading my personal space" and then wake up and ask yourself why exactly you don't like people being happy.

13:50 DUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDEEEEEE The secret base quest was an absolute LOVE LETTER to my build in the game and I picked the absolute perfect time to go do it. I saw the video you all did about the free ship at the end so I geared up and went. I'm going thru the base fighting and shit and get to a few master locks before the trap section and I was 3 locks away from unlocking Master lockpicking went back through the base and the place had EXACTLY 3 advanced locks so I level up to master locks IN THE FREAKING BASE! Use that to hack the computer(love that you don't have to get hacking AND lockpicking like Beth games) disable the deadly trap room cruise to the end poke around and find that sick legendary armor in the evil mom lair. So glad I didn't skip that one!!! Easily one of the best quests in the game! and I know I said this before but thank you all so much for the awesome Starfield content. You all saved me from a few very painful experiences in the game that would have been a bummer and pushed me to upgrade that starter ship way before I would have otherwise saving me from tons of 3-4 v 1 space ship fight headaches. Oh I haven't built a base yet because there's just so much shit to do in the game and I would really love to see you all do a video on the best planets to build outposts on and a little outpost building guide because I know it costs a lot of resources to build a base and I'm a little gun shy because I don't know if I have enough or which planet to choose from and what exactly to build besides those extractors and I don't know if you need the research first or anything so that could be a cool video Idea. Keep up the good work you all!!!

[@CPTN_IRISH]

I enjoyed the little side activity on Mars where you have to climb way up to the top of the structure to place a beacon to track the criminal. It was like a little mini platforming/climbing activity in the game. Super random which made it kind of cool

Titan was one of the first places I went Thursday night when early access launched. Since it's the most probable place for biological life of some sort in our solar system I wanted to see what Starfield did w/ it. I talked to literally everyone that I could during the tour. There's a girl living in shipping crates that is scraping by while also trying to get her degree. I felt super bad for her and gave her 20k credit (alot for me as early as I went to Titan). Turns out at around 50 hours into the game I came across her again post college degree. Turns out she's now crew on my ship because her skills were undeniable. Full circle moment, I invested in her taking a chance and it paid off later. There's also a family who wants to explore space but the father is stuck to tradition staying on Titan. I talked space and new atlantis up making the wife and daughter super excited, so I wont be surprised to see them outside of Titan at some point.

[@RR-od8hu]

Nah bro, legit all of them. Can not tell me those mechanics were well thought out. The first was legit the most interesting, killing the ex employee. Even then no one was really batting an eye lmao@@Theresnotenough

[@FtheLemonsNbail]

You don’t have to steal the branch. But yes that quest was really sweet, I loved how long it kept going

[@Alvin-yo5nb]

Just don’t let Amelia fly the ship.

The manipulation ability is not only found in the ryujin quest. It's a perk.

[@peterhans3791]

But it's deep in the social skill tree and this is just rewarded to you

[@Zeptre_]

​@peterhans3791 yes, can max the perk too if you do ryujin 4 times over via NG+

[@peterhans3791]

@@Zeptre_ so each playthrough raises it? Cool! I had been wondering about that (still on playthrough 1) Do they say anything strange about you already having it maxed the 5th time around?

[@fataldragon69]

Great set of strange missions.....Nice one, Cheers !! I love developers that go the extra mile like this and add these types of things into their games, I can only hope though, that Bethesda has hidden quite a few of these strange missions dotted around the distant planets and moons.....For example.....We scan a planet / moon and it seems like it's a barren wastland BUT if we decide to land and look around, we come across someone that's been hiding by having the ability to block all types of planet scans and they give us a series of cool missions to play through which reward us with unique items etc. etc. Basically, there's a crap load of procedurally generated planets and moons out there and it would be really cool if they've hidden some secret missions and quests for us to stumble across for some rare and cool rewards.....Fingers crossed that they have actually done this !!

[@jimmythegamer2231]

There are some side quests on the procedurally generated planets like Earth for instance. There was one quest revolving around the Empire State Building in the remains of America. But from what I can tell they're kinda hard to find.

[@victoresen2974]

Bring it on guys, I love your content ❤️.

[@landonewts]

“The Audition” was such a great mission. And I found Mantis early in my first playthrough and wow, it was a huge boost - and fun as hell. The only faction quest I didn’t do was Ryujen, because to me corpo = boring, but I’m definitely gonna go play it now!

[@jc1022341111111111]

Maybe don’t spoil every mission.

[@adamjensen2304]

Just don’t watch the videos… like everyone else who doesn’t want to be spoiled.

[@mikes333]

Lots of people hating on this game unnecessarily across the Internet. I enjoyed my 200+ hours I put into it, and I didn't even find that bonus clones side quest! A quest that wasn't mentioned was the one where you're teleporting between the past and the future and by the end, you basically have to decide on the elimination of one of the two timelines by killing one man or killing an entire colony of scientists. True sci-fi dillemas in this game, it is and will become a classic Bethesda title.

I wonder how many people bought an XBOX to play Starfield 🤔

[@TrophyTriumpHntr]

Good question

[@calebb3500]

That would be rough

I have been addicted to this game for over a week now. I had one annoying bug with Xbox cloud gaming that deleted my save and restored a much earlier save making me lose about 20 hours of gameplay or more, but it’s actually been enjoyable getting back to where I was. It wasn’t identical too. Missions and interactions this “second” time around were in a different order and some even new ones (I got the crucible one a few hours ago for the first time and now have Amelia as a companion). People who are saying this game is basically “Skyrim in Space” have no idea what they’re talking about (and have probably not even played the game fully, you need to sink 100’s if not 1,000’s of hours into Starfield to get the whole experience). I’ve played the shit out of skyrim multiple times. It’s probably one of the single player games I’ve got the most time on, but Starfield is a whole new thing. They are different on a fundamental level, yes they may share some things, but what games made by the same company don’t?

[@TheZoenGaming]

So... I first found the slate for the Mantis questline when I was taking out the Spacers on the space station for the LIST settlers of Tau Ceti. Then, I found another while clearing the Deep Mines of Mars for the Vanguard quest line. I'm pretty sure it's just randomly generated on Spacers after a certain amount of in-game time or a certain number of Spacer kills.

[@Imsoconfusedthesedays]

Other than the main quests, the side quests are a lot of good and get something or go and talk to someone. There should have been so so much more IN the game especially at launch

[@thatskinnydude301]

Might have to buy a Xbox to play this game

[@RaspoutinesGhost]

The Space Frog kid looks a lot like my grand-son.

[@mitchh5596]

[@Dennys854]

To note: Save your file before opening the Mantis suit case. It's randomly generated stats, so if it comes out less than optimal you can try again.. and again

[@Dubblebass]

Good list, I have done most of these and love them. The Mantis quest slate can drop off any spacer, by the way. Doesn't have to be on the shipyard...that is just a place you normally come across them early and will always have spacers...and will always drop the slate.

[@fightforaglobalfirstamendm5617]

😂 It's okay, Others will.

[@YiSu]

if you wear the tardigrade costume when you make first contact with the ship above paradiso and walk around the ship with it you get some funny unique dialogue. It's a nice little detailed touch that I wish they put more of in the game.

[@Boss_Fight_Index_muki]

The ultimate side quest? Getting the game to have seemless planet-to-space-to-planet vehicle flight

[@larrybirdinski]

everyone knew the game would not have this for such a long time lol. there are plenty of good reasons why people might not like the game, but people hating on this like its the most important thing are just annoying lol

[@pixelcount350]

I can see why people have issues with that but at the same time you can still space travel and you go to planet to planet on your ship so it's not as much of an issue to me as this is clearly an RPG first and foremost.

[@user-of6qf8sm3w]

Not at the level of RDR2, but I haven't been glued to a game since that one. I'm loving every moment of playing Starfield.

[@danbe6280]

Starfield is bad.

[@Safetytrousers]

It's not bad for all the people who like and love it like me. Saying it's bad shows a bad lack of understanding.

[@d.j.savick]

My favorite quest so far is the UC Vanguard quest. Well, I guess it's considered to be a faction quest but it's still my favorite. Just enough creepy with the story to keep you on edge a little. And you get access to a place you wouldn't get without the quest. Plus, you get a cool spacesuit and an awesome penthouse.

[@TheAgentAssassin]

Do the freestar ranger quest , quite possibly one of the best rewards in the game

[@Spewf]

what you are going to want to do is miss the whole game -100

[@Pyrobug10]

One of my favorites is actually an activity. Happens whenever you pick up the book called Oliver Twists and it's very quick too, but you get a unique item that's stupidly cool.

I honestly think Starfield has the best sidequests Bethesda did since Oblivion. I'm LOVING the game so far!

[@rocks4396]

Say what you want about starfield, but this game is filled with deep and amazing faction and side quests. I am 40 hours in and still have a huge backlog of side quests and am probably just halfway through the main quest

[@privacyvalued4134]

The Manipulation ability sounds like it needs to make its appearance in Assassin's Creed pronto. Sure there's "whistle" or "throw a coin" to draw enemies over while hiding in a single blade of grass, berserk darts to make people go nuts, calling in the brotherhood to help, telling an eagle to go peck a few hitpoints at enemies, but the ability to just take direct mind control over enemies and cause them to run off a cliff, jump off a roof, or walk into traps sounds way more fun than those. Probably an Apple of Eden type of ability. Or just don't attempt to explain it at all.

[@pixelcount350]

There is always an explanation to the abilities you get in AC and the only one i can think of that comes close is the bezerk dart that they give you in some AC games and the Apple of Eden.

[@kieranriley1624]

I'm surprised how much unique dialogue there is for different companions for side missions

[@Deuteromis]

Oh I also wanted to add if you haven't tried it, but for the system I was in, I encountered him at a sensor contact. At another planet I saw a ship icon so after taking some credits from him I followed your steps and then headed to the other planet. Ran into a dogfight, after looting the ships, I went back and spacer was still there and tried this trick, it was still working! So I think you can come back to this spot as long as you don't select the option to let the ship fly off

[@Subprimus93]

A nice touch is for the Space Frog Quest, that after you complete it the posters appear on other Colonys. As of now i saw one on Titan and in some other Location, but i dont really remember where. Also People talk about it.

[@Acanders1980]

You forgot to mention my personal favorite. Entangled. When you’re shifting between alternate dimensions and fighting off monsters.

I always try to find as many side quests and missions as possible in this game. I’m about 30 hours into the game and I’m HOOKED. Bethesda hit a home run and all the haters are truly missing out on a GEM of an RPG. Thank you Bethesda, thank you thank you thank you 🙏

[@Amershaf]

If you haven't done Mantis...***POTENTIAL SPOILERS*** Full disclosure, I'm just starting and am loving the game. That said this is a "Bethesda" moment. No glitches used and wound up with an extra ship. After completing the Mantis side quest and collecting the goods, I heard another ship landing. Off in the distance I could see a ship landing and a marker, ship landing, showed in my scope 500 m away. I decided what the heck and wanted to see what it was. It was a va'cuum zealot ship and the ones wandering around open fire on me. Took out the 4 on the ground and went inside. I was immediately prompted to "exit ship or eliminate the crew"....after it took off with me inside it! Eliminated the 4 crew iside and now I have another ship!. Went from having the starter ship before the quest to have 3 ships now. The starter, the Razorleaf, and the zealot ship. Apologies for the long comment and typos but I just had to share this.
