Starfield is the first new universe in over 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4. In this next-generation role-playing game set amongst the stars, create any character you want and explore with unparalleled freedom as you embark on an epic journey to answer humanity’s greatest mystery.

In the year 2330, humanity has ventured beyond our solar system, settling on new planets, and living as a space-faring people. You will join Constellation – the last group of space explorers seeking rare artifacts throughout the galaxy – and navigate the vast expanse of space in Bethesda Game Studios’ biggest and most ambitious game.

Will this be your first Bethesda experience? If not, what's been your favourite to date and why?

24 hours to go! Let us all have a great time in the star systems! Enjoy space cowboys!

So true. Very often I find people minmaxing the fun out of games, almost as if they're shooting themselves in the foot. Don't rob yourself of your own enjoyment - learn to mitigate your emotions that drive you to spoil or rush things and just enjoy it.

Go for the background that you find most interesting and not for the skills as you can acquire all skills regardless, but your background will tie in directly to the role you’re trying to play.

As some one who was blind diving into starfield... then start watching guides... I wished I never watched them.... it really did take away.... so i full whipped a 200hr+ game and stated over....
I recommend everyone go at this game blind.... as best u can... it really is something it has saved my love for gaming that was almost dead and hanging by a thread.... 🙏 I can't Believe I'm saying this....

... thank you Bethesda... for real! I honestly am having a blast.... through space!😂

'You'll thank me later.' Yeah, I’ll thank you now. Your Starfield work has been epic, deep, funny and thoroughly enjoyable. A thousand thanks. Hope you enjoy the game! Cheers!

Right -on video, no spoilers, we learn from our mistakes. There is no second first playthrough. It's been so long since the first Oblivion, ESIV and FO4. I look forward to your insights after my first hours playing.

I love Skyrim, but I missed out on SO MUCH because I ran through the campaign as fast as I could. When I was done, I didn’t feel the need to come back, so in some sense I ruined that “first play through” experience. With StarField, I just want to lay back, and explore all the things I could possible do. So I think you gave some top tier advice 😂

[crazytastie]

I'm hoping we find two Easter egg planets. One is for Elder Scrolls and the other Fallout. That would be amazing!!!

Thanks for the pre-launch content. Your Starfield Handbook has not only been useful, it's been a source of additional hype. It's obvious how much work you've put into your videos pre-launch, so I'm excited to watch your channel explode post-launch. Cheers!

[nuckchorris]

I needed this video man thank you. I've ruined way too many games for myself lately by becoming too overly obsessive with playing it the "right way", min maxing, not missing a single item...etc. Playing like that makes games feel like a chore and it ends up sucking the fun right out of the experience not to mention immersion breaking. Thanks again, totally agree

Just discovered your channel and have to say that I love what you said about how everyone seems to want to rush to the finish instead of enjoying the journey. That’s how I like to play. Why, in a game like Starfield would you want it to end? I just don’t see how it would feel immersive that way. I can understand that mindset for games like Destiny where you get better rewards for finishing fast…but in a truly open world game I want to feel like I’m there and get invested in the stories. You’re the first YouTuber I’ve heard say just take you’re time and try to forget all the ‘Do this to level up fast’ suggestions. Of course you may learn great tips from these guys, but I disregard most of what they say and take my own path. ❤ to those who blaze their own path in game and out.

Sound advice, with the most important one being: go in blind! Don't watch playthroughs, or read walkthroughs, just enter this new universe and soak it all in. As you've said, there is no 'wrong' way to play the game (this goes for all Beth games, maybe except Morrowind, which is very old school and thus you could potentially ruin your playthrough fairly easily, even locking you out of the main quest). As someone said about the Witcher 3: „There is no 'wrong' way, just choices and consequences you have to live with...“

For games like this imho it is really important that you create your character in your head before you start playing. Based on the information about the game world we have so far one should try to build a persona, either based on your own personality or one who fits into this world. Come up with a bit of backstory about your life up until the point where the game starts... for example my char will be kind of a diplomat or at least try to be diplomatic as best she can, maybe working for one of the big corporations. She will be single, has parents whom she visits regularely and has recently acquired this cute little apartment (which unfortunately comes with a 50.000 creds mortgage). But hey, she's young, she has a good job, she will manage... right? Life looks promising so far...

Stuff like that really helps immersing yourself even more in open world games like TES and Fallout, which are not entirely story driven (like Dragon Age or Mass Effect for example) because nobody is a blank slate, everybody had a life before the start of the respective game. And in fleshing out that backstory you will create a very unique character and game experience. After all, you'll have to live with that char probably for hundreds of hours...

But that's what role playing is all about, right?

1 day left! This will be my first Bethesda game & I'm really excited! I understand there may be bugs but so long as it is playable, and you can do most of the stuff they've promised, I'll be happy 😁

[beats]

Yup honestly ima avoid alll reviews until the game drops so it gives me time to full immerse myself in this worls

[connorofaolain]

Absolutely agree with you. Unfortunately that also means I won't be watching any videos of yours for the first week or so ^^'

[KCisWashed]

14.9K, you’ll be there by tonight. Congrats man, you deserve it. I say 50K for the next goal. I think you’ll have no problem hitting that in September!

[savingpurity]

So close to 15K! That’s a big deal I’m stoked for you Mumbles! Tomorrow can’t come soon enough

[spoopymcpooperface]

I am 100% going to ruin my first play-through as I am going to be playing in a different language. will I accidentally blow up an entire space station and start another colony war? Hopefully not, Wish me luck!

I learnt my lesson with Skyrim.
I was more focused on beating the game and getting the achievements 1st out of all my friends, I never got to enjoy it.

Also I’ve learnt not to have one god-like character, with all “the best” equipment, and skills.

Have different characters heavily themed for each faction with a playstyle to match.
Use a first playthrough as recon, find out what you can about each group and where to find them so another character can head straight for that faction.

Skyrims thieves guild with a lvl 1 argonian using only starting skills meant I was only had fists.
It meant if you were seen, you were dead!
And travel became extremely dangerous, if you found a sabre cat or bear also dead! 😂 thank god for the horsey *frost*
Those skeevers in honning brew were a nightmare to seek past. Found myself firing arrows at walls to create distractions.

It was so hard, but so much fun.
Way more fun than using a high levelled stealth archer killing everything.

Or the time in fallout 4 I thought I’d play a ghoul, and I used fists and ate people. Super agile with high luck and endurance. Wearing tattered rags.
Joined no faction, ignored the main quest, just tried to see how long I could survive 😂.
A long time it turned out.
