Additional info

Here's all the interesting information we gathered about Starfield.

"It's like Skyrim in space"
I mean, I think we all suspected Starfield would be like Skyrim in space, and I'd wager that's just what we want. A game that is like Skyrim in space. And that's what Howard said to The Washington Post. Exactly that. "It's like Skyrim in space."

But not exactly like Skyrim in space, as we'll see.

Starfield is built in Creation Engine 2
The trailer begins with the words "Alpha in-game footage | Creation Engine 2" showing on the screen. Bethesda also confirmed that Starfield is the first game to be built in the new engine.

That's probably good news. Players have been moaning about Bethesda's creaky Creation Engine for years, but we don't know much about Creation Engine 2 yet, or how much it differs from the engine used for Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76. Bethesda's singleplayer games have famously been a playground for modders, though, so hopefully the new engine will still be amenable to player-made mods.

Bethesda spent a lot of time on space cheese and button labels

First and most importantly, a sandwich is shown in the trailer as the astronaut enters the ship. There's bread, lettuce, salami, and cheese, and a single big bite out of it, which is how we all eat our sandwiches—by taking one big perfect bite out of it and then leaving the rest for later. Speaking to the Telegraph, Todd Howard revealed that the sandwich was given lots of attention for the trailer.

"We spent a lot of time on that cheese sandwich, getting the right sheen on a piece of space cheese," says Howard. "We like that stuff, we geek out on it. Every button, I think, is labelled in the ship."

There are factions like Skyrim, with Constellation being the main one
300 years in the future, humans are exploring deep space, and the faction known as Constellation "is this kind of last group of space explorers. It's like NASA meets Indiana Jones meets the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a group of people that are still searching for answers," Howard told the Telegraph.

"There are a lot of factions in the game but [Constellation is] the main one that you'll become a part of. It’s kind of like Skyrim in terms of the structure of the game, where you're going to be who you want to be, and then there's different factions that you can join, and really carve your own path."

Must...not....pre-order...I'm trying to keep my expectations in check, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't really looking forward to this.

I'm enjoying it so far, however, the performance is surprisingly poor for a game that looks like a polished version of FO4. Cyberpunk max with RT on, no issues. This at low / medium, frame drops to sub 40.

Oh and at @Tek81

Can you update the thread title please. I think everyone knows by now what Starfield is and that is a rpg set in space and made by Bethesda and that there might be spoilers.

May I suggest ** The Official Starfield Thread ** or something like that.

You could even have fun with it like so:

** The Official Starfield Thread (where people get more pleasure bitching about it than playing it) ** :D

Hit level 25 last night, and I've only just got to the point where that annoying, blonde haired sort, joins your crew. I should probably start doing some quests.

Found a game breaking bug last night. I'll keep this as spoiler free as possible. If you pickpocket Benjamin Bayu and access his penthouse, prior to or during the latter part of the Ryujin espionage quests on Neon, you will be unable to use the elevator to exit the area. Thankfully I had a save file prior. Without that, it would have been game over.

Where's the best area to go to destroy ships? I'm trying to rank up my pilot skill, but need 30+ kills to do so.
