Starfield - Everything you NEED to Know Before Exploring Planets!

IF you decide to be a pirate, well... -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqrGpZ5smJJgjas

[@POlNTANDLAUGH]

Just got into exploration. I want to do outposts, exploration and pirating. What skills would you recommend to have to be fairly balanced in all 3?

[@TimTeboner]

It's worth mentioning that selling the exploration data to Vladimir Sall on The Eye (the Constellation space station orbiting Jemison) nets you double the credits compared to anywhere else. Since the data doesn't have any weight it's worth hanging onto it until you can sell to him. I clear him out of credits every couple of days.

[@Paulunatr]

I had no idea this was a thing! Thanks for the tip!

Vlad’s nickname is ‘the impaler,’ but don’t ask him why.

[@queenkatma]

Tis why I got this game. Love it 😀

[@harringtonmartin]

I love how so many of the skills work as the singular focus of an RP build as well as the secondary focus. A pure scientist might use loads of surveying and exploration skills, but all characters can dabble in a little of the exploration skills for any number of RP reasons. I love this game.

[@_kmatt_]

The enthusiasm from this channel is so refreshing compared to all of the negativity on Reddit and from many gaming journalists. While Starfield hasn't topped Skyrim for me yet, I have greatly enjoyed it so far. I know you two are not afraid to criticize Bethesda, so I know your thoughts are genuine. The fact you are enjoying the game so much makes me feel a little less crazy for enjoying it when seemingly everyone else just wants to complain.

[@slinkbradshaw8674]

The creature design in this game is crazy, some of the beasts I've come across made me pause the game to collect myself lol

[@Cjorss]

I had a fun level 70 world. There were lion bears, massive herding crab creatures and other individuals that were hard to describe. But the apex predator byfar was a cricket about the size of a medium breed of dog. Absolutely vicious.

[@eriiicj.1558]

Randomly surveyed my first planet today and was pleasantly surprised by the 400 XP that popped up on my screen.

[@newdelhiman3083]

I feel like from an RP point of view, it makes sense to focus on the main story and then once finished focusing on exploring the different worlds and biomes and building up my ship and some outposts on some really nice planet

[@agentnukaz1715]

Fudgemuppet recommends not rushing it. It's hard not to get wrapped up in something else though. U will probably want to answer distress calls and start faction quest lines.

[@eriiicj.1558]

I’d say from a RP point of view, you can explore under the premise of scanning planets for artifacts. You can survey a planet and act as if you’re searching for gravitational anomalies. Bring a Constellation companion along to really get into it.

[@newdelhiman3083]

@@agentnukaz1715 this, not spoiling the story so far but there are multiple senses of urgency in areas of the games storylines so it gets really difficult trying to justify say planet scanning or harvesting things when someone's being attacked by Spacers or there's a big story device which wouldn't make sense not to do straight away

[@agentnukaz1715]

@@newdelhiman3083 after playing 40 hrs I'd say do the main story at least until you unlock your crew then join whatever faction you want, then your free.

[@christopherclanton5961]

Been playing since early access on series s i have been blown away by everything including the performance on the S so no worries on the underdog xbox it looks and plays great. This game is like an addiction so fun to do just about everything. 40 hours into it and i feel like ive barely started. Im that guy who spent 9 hours exploring new atlantis and not regreting it only to find neon and being mind blown away by the look and feel of it. All i can say is play this game if you are a bethesda fan even if there is one aspect of the game that you do not like there are so many great things in it that makes the game worth playing for any bethesda fan. This is rapidly becoming my favorite bethesda game ever and ive been playing since daggerfall. Ill always be a fan of fantasy games and this game makes me hyped for tes 6 but just how good this game feels to play has brought it on par with my love for the elder scrolls.

[@HeWhoComments]

It makes me happy to hear how you and Michael are enjoying this game much more than you thought you would’ve.

This game seems like it was basically designed around the explorer archetype ( altho since this is a Beth game Scott will show us another 50+ builds that are absolutely viable )

[@SuuuB]

what's true then? There are so many comments and also reviewers saying about just a few encounters/instances repeating over and over when exploring random planets therefore not worth it , in contrary of what is being said here?

Of the 20+ play-throughs & helpful hint vids I've seen in the last 5 days, this vid is the only one that has encouraged surveying. So....good on you. Not saying this is a super boring play style, but you totally found a gap in the existing play styles that are exciting & sought after.

[@ferristhered1401]

Nice tips, thank you! I've been looking at splitting focus between Science and Tech, so I can incorporate this into my build quite smoothly. Ship design is my most-anticipated feature, so the extra resources, especially, will be important to me.

[@Crim_Zen]

I had no idea you could sell the surveys... I've been doing the mission boards for surveying worlds, so I had a bunch of those in my inventory. Btw bonus tip, you can save scum fauna scans in caves with bodies. Scan it, save, reload, and scan again. The body reloads with the cave instances, so you can omit the zoology trait investment this way.

[@Dan0w93]

I know not part of it but I wonder how many people know that when you lock pick the right combo will change for each stage for instance the layer will change to blue depending on the right combination combos, you also be able to see the lower layers too, just to make lockpicking easier on harder ones

[@martyfromnebraska1045]

“BGS’s finest open world experience?” I mean, no. At least not if you enjoy clearing out dungeons, which are often a chore to find because half the “structure” locations are occupied by stupid “NO HUMAN ALLOWED ON WORKSITE” robots or civilians that ask you to do boring shit like scan some rocks.

[@andrebillups4079]

They need to make exploration more rewarding. You can simply do side missions for faster money or steal ships & you also get rare items that way. Exploring is only worth it for the exp and that’s if you go straight to the Traits that’s worth 100exp each or abandoned outpost

Flora and fauna design don't cost 1% of flora and fauna Shivering isles or Morrowind for example. Looks like Bethesda is totally out of juice, and their artists aren't good enough. They could just add worms and snakes in all their shapes.

Hey fudge idk if you'll see this or have a real answer. Do you know if when you free land on a planet instead of the premade spots Bethesda has spread out through each planet. Are they RNG? Like when you land that's way does it make the Caves, landmarks, bases, ect procedurally generated like say Deep Rock Galactic where each missions environments is different? Very much the ships landing on surfaces are random but what else?

[@genzphilosophy5706]

Can you do an in depth piloting guide PLEASE. I can’t land wherever I want on plants from the spaceship HUD. I can’t even land on new Atlantis from the space ship HUD.

It’d be really cool if the beast hunter skill let you tame/mount different beasts on planets. Helping with the exploration of the planet. Exploration seems really fun but all the running is kind of keeping me away.

[@Paulunatr]

Hey kids, wanna hear a neat little trick? When you first jump into a system, check all the planets right away on the map. If any are gas giants, fly to them, do an orbital scan, and bingo you just got yourself a nice 500+ credits for basically no effort. This works no matter what skills you have, and no matter what kind of build you're making, you're gonna find yourself in systems you haven't visited before. The game basically gives you free money and all you gotta do is help yourself to it. The explorer playstyle didn't really call out to me right away, but I'm more than happy to plop down on small barren planets and moons for a few minutes of scanning and then pocketing the credit payouts. The game lets me build spaceships so I MUST build them, and they don't come cheap.

[@calebfrentz621]

Nah modders are going to make this shit lit, like think of anything and there will probably be a mod for it, like a deep sea diver mod, with your ship being converted into a floating ship. like this game has so much possibilities and i cannot wait to get it
