What is Starfield’s main quest and how does a space RPG begin? Over the years, Bethesda games have had some pretty iconic openings. The most notable became a meme. Fallout 3’s introduction, on the other hand, begins with actual birth and progresses to a tutorial of growing from child to adult in Vault 101.
These memorable intros lead to the start of the game’s main quest. Bethesda fans have also speculated about Starfield’s beginnings: how they introduce players to the world, what they do at the beginning of the game, how the main quest starts and what that quest actually is. Is there
Although there is not much official information, 15 minute Starfield gameplay reveal (opens in new tab) Since last year, fans have come up with some pretty compelling theories.
Some Starfield fans are skeptical about how the game will begin, how the main quest will begin, and how they will acquire the first spaceship and robot companions. It’s speculation and only uses the gameplay trailer as a source, but it still gives us everything spoiler warning Starfield main quest.
You start Starfield as a space miner
Most of the speculation about how the game starts and the main quest starts Reddit Poster Exo_soldierMost of the information is there, but not in chronological order.
For example, Starfield’s character creation system is first seen towards the end of the gameplay video (8:40 (opens in new tab)), but when speculating about Starfield’s beginnings, it’s a good place to start.
The most important thing to notice in this footage is that the “Argos Extractors” and “record locator” are always displayed in the top left corner of the character creation screen. Why is the company name displayed during character creation? That’s because you start the game already working for them. Build a character, customize their appearance, choose their attributes, but also create an employee profile for Argos Extractors. The employee number is also displayed at the bottom of the character creation screen.
So what are Argos Extractors? They certainly sound like mining companies, but they were probably the very places players learned how to extract minerals with mining lasers.3:33 (opens in new tab)) in the video. Even the player’s HUD shows a planetary survey when first disembarking the ship. 2:45 (opens in new tab) mark.
This fits the goal of mining operations to detect resources contained on the planet. This all refers to starting the game as a Minor, following the game intro, and carrying around mining his gear for the rest of the adventure.Some of this is also confirmed by Description of Starfield on Steam (opens in new tab).
Dig up a mysterious artifact while working
So you start Starfield as an employee of a large mining company.This is supported by footage that you can skip to and watch 8:12 (opens in new tab) in gameplay video. This clip is most likely from the first scene of the game, where several people are seen using mining lasers underground, one of them saying, “Most Dusty can’t get this far,” he said. This is because veteran mining employees say “Dusty” (which may be a nickname for novice miners) doesn’t last long on the job, or goes much deeper into the earth than most miners. may have pointed out
Another Reddit commenter, Zanila Russo (opens in new tab), I’m guessing you may be serving a prison sentence in a mine. Others have suggested that you may be paying off your debts. Even the Fallout series starts with his Vault, which in some ways looks a lot like a prison.
You unearthed strange alien artifacts while digging for minerals and resources as a simple space miner.You touched it and it gave you strange visions (very briefly 6:52 (opens in new tab)). Afterwards, you seem to have told some of your co-workers about it, and they called Constellation, the guild representing the “last group of space explorers”.
A member of the Constellation will be dispatched to tell you about the Artifact
Constellation has sent someone to meet you about the artifact you found. 7:03 (opens in new tab) We saw the ship land and a pilot in a space suit came out and said to the miners, “Did you find anything?” The miner says, “I found a new man.” This indicates that you haven’t worked with Argos Extraction for a long time.
The pilot will speak to you and say, “You dug up an artifact, didn’t you? That means you saw it. Vision.” Whatever you discover, Constellation has discovered similar artifacts in the past.
Your meeting was interrupted by space pirates
skip to 7:35 (opens in new tab) And when someone shouts “It’s the Crimson Fleet”, we see another ship land. This probably isn’t some random skirmish from some other point in the game. What appears to be this appearance by the Crimson Fleet, followed by a firefight, interrupts Constellation’s encounter with his pilot.
Are space pirates there too because of the artifacts or is this just a random raid? However, other clues suggest that the Constellation pilots you encounter likely won’t survive the battle.
Inherit your first ship from a dead Constellation member
It’s a bit harsh, but it seems likely that the first ship in Starfield is that of the pilot of that constellation. It is possible that he told them to take a ship and use it to reach Constellation headquarters. More evidence supports this: The watch used to unlock the door to Constellation headquarters. (first half of video, 6:23 (opens in new tab)) also probably belonged to the pilot. It appears that the pilot did not attend your introduction to Constellation. This supports the theory that he was killed in a skirmish with Crimson his fleet. If he was alive, he probably would have come with you.
Well, you haven’t spent a lot of time looting corpses in Bethesda games, have you? This time, you’ve lifted items from the corpse to get your first starship and the key to the Constellation’s front door, heck, even your companion robot, Vasco, belonged to the dead Constellation’s pilot. I guess. Anything you get early on in Starfield is hand-me-downs, or more accurately, loot.
Take over the duties of the Constellation Pilot
and 6:26 (opens in new tab) We see the player reach the Constellation building with Vasco and use the clock to go inside and meet the members of the guild. They will show you other artifacts that have been found. They expect you to answer the question, “What’s in there?” That’s the mystery that Constellation is trying to solve. Having seen a vision, you have become “part of solving that puzzle.”
And maybe that’s the main quest: find more artifacts and “find out what they are” [and] Examine what they’re building and find what you can assume is alien lifeforms or (as happens in much science fiction) the remnants of some kind of ancient alien civilization. , and it’s your job now to talk to the people who found them.
lastly, 8:22 (opens in new tab), we see the player walking towards some kind of structure. This could be part of the vision you have at the beginning of the game, or an event near the end of the main quest.
It’s a lot of speculation and guesswork, but it seems pretty plausible to me. Beginning as a common space miner, stumble upon mysterious artifacts, take over the first ship and robot companion from a dead pilot, and become the only person capable of unraveling the mysteries of the universe is the main focus of previous Bethesda games. It feels on par with Quest. We’ll see how accurate this theory is when Starfield comes out.
