Starfield Ultimate Beginner Guide - Starfield New Player Guide For 2025! (Starfield Tips And Tricks)

[@thewhizbang]

Starfield is a game that doesn’t hold your hand…you make your own fun…it’s truly is an open world sandbox where you can practically be anyone…I feel that most people who hate this game also are the same folks who buy COD every year…the majority of people just don’t have the attention span for roleplaying these days unless it has some sort of shooter looter addiction loop…poor bastards. I love Starfield and am so excited for its future.

[@chrismaghintay]

I love this game so much. Way more than elder scrolls or fallout. Starfield is a universe that I actually want to explore. I love listening to people's conversations and learning about the lore and investigating new planets. It has an overall hopeful tone. Elder scrolls and fallout are so bleak to me that I don't want to be in that world for very long

[@xzentric101]

I love starfield, i havent bought a cod in over a decade. But this game as great as it is, there isnt that many ways to play it nor do choices matter that much. Either you play the story the good way or just ruin every quest line. Theres basically only two different endings for the game and some factions...

[@joshuamartinez6381]

Facts brother this game is amazinggg, so much to get lost into

[@Swoleson_Rebel]

Starfield is not a bad game. But there's a good reason why it has 6k concurrent players per day and Skryim still has 20k+ per day. Yes there's an obvious quantity and DLC disparity and few games can hope to compete with Skyrim in that regard. But there are a lot of base problems with Starfields story, flow, reward items, leveling, new game+ decisions, and especially their dialouge and NPC questlines. I'd also argue their crafting system while well designed, left alot to be desired in aesthetics and choices to craft and "look" better. That being said. I did enjoy playing it, but I never had a desire to beat it again after my first playthrough. I even replayed skyrim tbh after it. Its completely okay to love it, but also recognize that the criticisms leveled at it are not intended to crap on the game. Its to make it better and hope the devs see why so many people were unhappy

[@LonzoTrevino]

No fair I play cod religiously but this game is top tier goated

[@riddledhat4099]

I love this game I have well over 300 hours. Every time I play it my friends get offended and talk about how horrible it is. Honestly I've played since launch and have 0 regrets.

[@kdawg8100]

Same, it has it's issues but is honestly a ton of fun.

[@kan-zee]

12.5 days play...your doing great...keep going 🤩👍🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

you NEED new friends

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

Yeahhh. I'm the same. Iv been playing for 2 years now. ,, not sure how many hours. ????? , , but I THINK ITS A FANTASTIC. GAME. NUMBER 1. ,😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤LOVE IT. , 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@raginasiangaming910]

Dream home is a great starting trait. You get a consistent stream of bounty hunters that you can kill, loot and steal ships from. Also, stealing ships is the best way to make credits. The ship itself isn't huge money, but you also can loot everything inside and from the guys you kill. For the time, this is probably the best money in Starfield.

[@Ender_Wiggin]

Just mod the register cost. It is so dumb that the rate is so high.

[@captain4318]

Saved for my inevitable return to the world of Starfield! I enjoyed my time with the game at launch, but at around the 30 hour mark I realized it's better if I let it sit for a while. I love to interact with the side content in BGS games, but with Starfield the running from POI to POI on barren planets just took too much time with little to no entertainment. Once we get better ways to travel on planets, whether it be a horizon fly mode to jetpacks or some kind of ground vehicle, I'll be jumping back in.

[@rcsanders2154]

Just need up you jet pack skills and use speed buffs. You will zip to and location across any terrain

[@kan-zee]

I heard that they are gonna include a fleet of planet vehicles to use.

[@Coley_-_]

Love this game! In just 4 days i have put in like 28 hrs. And barely touched the main story. Everything from surveying, research, outpost building, faction quest lines, companion quest line, and to a couple of mission board requests for creds. Love this game. The only thing so far that i don't like is ship stuff and space combat and that's just me

[@TheEthanEdge]

id recommend actually doing the main story up to a point, the point will become apparent.

[@kan-zee]

The Ship building is my weakness..lol I haven't even gotten to the outpost building after 60 hours play time.

[@sarasheppard8242]

One additional tip to 1:50:11 ; vendors won't immediately apply their price to sold goods. So when you sell them buy back in that same transaction (don't close the menu), you don't lose the credits

[@MrMightyZ]

Ooooh imma finish being a Freestar Ranger! That ship looks pretty sweet.

[@brandonmcgrew4367]

Get the shield breaker whenever you can bro, it’s been my favorite ship so far.

[@barashino2582]

I've always been told if something is repeated 3 or more times it is very important now for one more time use the help menu

[@mozetose4794]

Also with the ammo being weightless you can be at a vendor that sells ammo you can buy all their ammo sell the things that do have weight that you don't want to use anymore and it's kind of like a personal bank method I may not be transferable full value everywhere you go but at least you carry something that's equal to credits on your person to sell when you need to

[@camronfox6636]

Just started the game on gamepass a few days ago and im honestly enjoying it, yeah sure theres things i could complain about, but its a Bethesda game and I like it for that certain jankyness. Helpful guide.

[@xwing2417]

If you apply for a job with ryujiin, it will get very difficult very fast if you haven't invested in stealth. The final mission in particular took me a few hours. Oof.

[@thatperson763]

If you want to up your pack rat skills use heat leaches and portable containers they hold up to 450 cargo and it doesn't weigh you down if you carry it. Its great to use this when in combat so you don't have to walk to gain O2 and you can sprint for longer in combat instead of instantly depleting your O2

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

WOOOOOOOWWWW these out posts builds of yours are incredible ,,BETTER than my dum ones all iv got is a tower here and there any ol where.......your the space MAAAAAAAAANNNNN

[@pallygoat7150]

Wow, I'm glad I'm only at Lv18 when learning about traits. Idk how I missed this in character creation, but I'm going to start a new save now. This guide was very helpful. I'm not sure what traits to pick TBH. I'm actually thinking about taking Spaced because I think the game is to easy & increasing difficulty mostly just gives enemies more HP, making the game more tedious & you waist more ammo so not supper satisfying. I'm definitely taking wanted. Then, either introvert or empathy. Introvert feels fun for single playthrough but NG+ is bad vs Buff/Nerf from dialog feels really satisfying & better for NG+.

[@Knockout_Mouse]

You didn't mention one of the best Powers available: Anti-Gravity Field. It's amazing! Basically you stun enemies in a small area in front of you, and they also float into the air, making them easier to target for something like 5 seconds. It was the first power I unlocked. Perfect for bosses and guardians. They can't fight back, and you can unload like 3 full clips on them. Awesome guide! Thanks for all the research!

[@tommo010]

Should also mention the kills in simulator count towards piloting skills

[@kan-zee]

Great Game , better than STAR WARS online. 31:15....I always thought that the excessive , liteweight items (cups, pens, etc) , were there, so we can carry multiple items , to rank up our skills. (COMMERCE SKiLL TREE) One thing i like to do is , collect folders, notepads and drop these at different doorway enterances...so i don't get confused or lost in the maze of a place....I just follow the (cookie crumbs) markers, and voila, i am out of a place in no time.

[@donny4ggg]

It's everything I wanted star Trek Online to be

[@xwing2417]

Okay now I'm giggling with the thought that some later explorer could come by and wonder why there are succulents everywhere. 😅

No, Thank You! 🙏

[@dudessjoddie]

Really helpful video, thanks! 👍🏼

[@enigmaticmistere8865]

your bounty clearance station should be in the cockpit or crew quarters on your ship so you don't have to jump or land and risk getting caught up.

[@tylermckillop2339]

I use The Den in the Wolf System to sell contraband. No scans, low level system.

[@syninja3292]

I like the bounty hunter because then you can focus early skills to weapons, defense and other needed early skills

[@nicholasnelson1005]

36:14 learned their lesson from Skyrim and Fallout that we won’t play the main story without forcing us to just this time by locking stuff away

[@mrmajkl2]

Best guide!!! Thank you so much

[@norzza]

You're welcome! have fun out there!

[@kckillakrack9714]

Synapsis alpha also reduces how much you need to research its an aid item

[@3_14pie]

there's two types of people: "oh, it's Skyrim, in space..." "OH. IT'S SKYRIM. I N S P A C E‽"

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

Yeah. DEAD,,,, & ALIVE.

[@brettdavidson3866]

I have been enjoying starfield it's flawed yet fun 😁I think if some of it was more compact than currently it would flow better

[@rj13bayne2]

Just a pronunciation note: Cheyenne is pronounced like shy-anne ✌🏻 Native American words tend to trip people up 😅 Great in-depth guide!

[@Stage4DavidEric]

This game is more a mash up of Skyrim, Stellaris, and the Mass Effect series or KOTR. If you approach it in that way you will have fun.

[@cursedmonkey1033]

Hi. I like your character. Do you happen to have a video on how you made her? Settings ect? Thanks.

[@Rileymoore36]

The Den is also a great place to trade contra with trade authority

[@62jape]

I used file not found to role play as a reluctant hero who keeps getting put into situations.

[@CalvinC0013C]

The ending part being a starborn is something i won’t do instead i have a second character and just doing things differently. Also there is a glitch connect to excessive fast travel and carrying too much material by yourself. I found this out building up 3 outpost at the same time i had to reset the console cause it froze during saving lucky i have backup files

[@basildaoust2821]

Hey everyone, if you think you will like this game I wouldn't sweat to much on what you choose to much because this is just for the start of the run, when you decide you have done enough and are ready to start run two you keep every ability skill you have already trained and just keep adding more skills, so if you want level 5 ballistics sure start with level 1, but if while doing this run you get to level 5, or next continuation you will start that run at level 5 in Balistics, so your choosing things just to make the whole multi-run start better.

[@STANNY8]

The parents actually sort you out with a pretty decent ship at some point too!!

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

Parents. ?????? You mean to say. ,,,you get parents. Also. ????? I DIDNT GET ANY. ????

[@STANNY8]

@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz you do if you select the kids stuff trait when creating your character.

[@seancoley7603]

I saw in another video that picking up firearms from npc's you killed automatically unloads the remaining ammo in them into your inventory

[@MeisterMitBart]

i think you should script your videos (maybe differently if youre already doint it?), as i find it hard to follow sometimes, but it also feels like youre repeating yourself other times ...

[@AdamKlogistics91]

I played over 100 hours and until this video. I didn't realize that the armor could counteract the environmental hazards. FML. Like I saw that the armor said it and I read it. But I somehow didn't add 2 and 2 together. I figured it was like weapon damage protection types.

[@kan-zee]

Yeah...i am in the same boat....learning daily

[@xwing2417]

And if you're worried about cosmetics, you can disable the appearance for settlements from the inventory menu.

[@Shiftry87]

Tip #1 or what should be RULE #1 is if your on PC then find an Inventory mod ASAP. The games base line inventory is so bad that games that do there first ALPHA testing have better inventory screens. Dosent matter which 1 u use it cant possable be worse then the games default one. Your welcome.

[@xwing2417]

Just a reminder, the Constellation lodge has all of the research and production benches in basement.

[@tglanzer07]

Hopefully they do this game justice this year, i'd like to add on to my 320 hours bethesda

[@joshuamartinez6381]

My brothers , I must ask , can you ever get the full value for a item? Like when it says it’s worth 10k credits but it sells for 2-3 k

[@TheEthanEdge]

no, the most you can sell for is 80% i think

[@mancheckitout]

Thanks

[@-lucentdawn-1445]

Great video, I do have a question though. I am attempting to put a gas resource down, but it says it must be placed within a vein. I am attempting to put it right on the resources, around the resources, or anywhere with the outpost. It won't let me and it's pissing me off! Any advice?

[@bry10101]

Have you tried rotating it or placing another object down to auto alter the terrain and then tray to place the other object

[@andrewgraham6339]

Is there a Zap Brannigan option?

[@willbloodworth5248]

The Velour Fog? As if there was ever any other option, baby! Champa-ginn? 🍾

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

Noooo. Don't be GREEDY.

[@Ender_Wiggin]

First thing you should do is mod the register ship cost. The current rate is very dumb they did it for some dumb balance reason.

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

So far iv been playing starfield. For 2 years straight. ,,and managed to kill practically every one. Even left that whinging nagging Sarah Morgan behind on a planet.

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

But the moment I get to the cockpit. And turn around ,,,,,,THERE SHE IS ,,, sitting there BEFORE I get there ,,,,???????? How do you work out THAT

[@JOHNSMITH-vx5yz]

yeah iv tried that too but when you turn around THERE SHE IS right behind you ,,,,,,,you CANT DUMP HER ANY WHERE..... shes like glue

[@sauronblue1]

Maybe it's just the NZ accent, but I can't, for the life of me, tell what you say in the last section about gravity wave. "It's like a worse__" huh? Also, you say equipped-ed several times from personal clone and on. You equip something, then it's just equipped, not equippeded. Other than that, the guide was great, and I usually wouldn't even make it that far in a 2hr(!) video

[@TheEthanEdge]

fus-roh-dah. From skyrim, the knockback. Also i think he's saying Equipped it, not equippeded.

[@MrMightyZ]

Edit: Quest tracker has been patched. I think the game is a fine old thing and there’d be no anger if only Todd would stop selling everything like it’s a timeshare presentation and promoting every game as though it’s the greatest piece of craftsmanship the world has ever seen and being deceptive by omission. If he and Pete would just promote 100% accurately and be very forthcoming about all mechanics (like instancing), then there would be many more people simply enjoying the game for what it is - a huge, fun and charming old fashioned Bethesda game. But Todd is a salesman through and through.

[@skyriminspace]

I think that's exactly how most players are enjoying it.

[@MichaelWorth-i9y]

I spent $70.00 USD on this game and it was NOT worth the hype. I spent 20 hours grinding and was quickly bored with it. As the game is I would not spend more than $30.00 USD on it. Maybe in a few years they will correct all of the issues that should have been corrected before release. It will be a very long time before I buy another Bethesda game. Everyone else does it better

[@TheEthanEdge]

yeah it's not worth $70. I got it for about $30 and it's worth that imo.

[@xViRUs295x]

It's certainly not worth $70 USD but I'm also unsure why you're "grinding". I feel like you ruined it for yourself by trying to "grind" to be the best instead of just chilling and enjoying the game

There's always 1. WHINGER. That's never happy.

[@TheKawasaki250]

[@tglanzer07]

big time, hopefully they can turn it around this year

[@halfknots]

I think the core is so weak there isn't a lot of hope. Bethesda completely abandoned the open world exploration in favor of loading screens

[@MrMightyZ]

If Todd stopped promoting every game like it was the most amazing and advanced video game the world has ever seen and just promoted games 100% honestly then there would be less anger and more gamers could enjoy the game for what it is; A big, fun, old-fashioned Bethesda game. But l have no sympathy for old Todd. He’s a massive liar and that’s how he promotes so he brought it on himself but it’s too bad for the rest of the devs.

[@skyriminspace]

I couldn't disagree more. I definitely think they made it a bit too big, so it definitely does feel unfinished in some areas, but having entered the unity for the first time i can see what they were going for. I think it's a really good game with the potential to become truly great after DLC.
