Step one: save yourself the time and don’t play this woke boring sloppy game. We were robbed of a truly good and unique space rpg that could have been full of soul because of marxist activist freaks and corporate busybodies. Please spend money and time elsewhere so we can get back to making beloved games.

PS: games will never be made under Marxism or communism

Less than hundred hours in game. But have noticed it's not Skill Points that cause a bottleneck, but skill leveling tasks. Leveling up is easy, but leveling up a Skill, requires certain tasks to be completed. Many of these tasks can be done without combat IE at low level.
EDIT If you need a Daedric Artifact to pick a lock in Skyrim, Fallout, or Star Field. The Character is not the problem, the Player is.

34:57 for any incoming PlayStation players picking this game up and finding this video
the Wolf system doesn’t scan and if you go to The Den, you can sell contraband at the trader immediately inside and to the left. Think it’s a trade federation merchant.

0:00 Starfield Complete Beginner Guide

Excellent and really comprehensive beginners guide! Thank you very much!!! It’s so good that I have only one rather pedantic pet peeve point to make. Bethesda, like many other companies, isn’t very literate and they are unaware that there is no such thing as “over encumbered”. Encumbered and encumbrance are both adjectives and states of being. Saying “over encumbered” is like saying “more better”; it doesn’t mean anything. “Over weight” means something because weight, by itself, isn’t a state of being.

Hi ! Tks !!

6:27 Watch / Oxygen / Encumberment System

One aspect of the skill tree that doesn't get NEARLY enough coverage is the fact that you can skip a tier completely if you put enough points in a lower tier. For example, tier 3 requires 8 skills, so you could spend 8 points on tier 1 skills and tier 3 will unlock. If I understand it correctly.

A thing you missed. Is stealing a ship on the ground and it takes off but you keep dying over and over from not 100% sure maybe from decompression because I died before getting to the cockpit 7 times. Did open the cabin then the crew died also. haha.

Big hints for the stealing and contraband carrying type. The Wolf system then The Den space station in Wolf. No scans for contraband when arriving. The trade authority is happy to buy the yellow contraband items. Also you can sell any stolen items to any vendor and then use the buy back page to get the items back and they will be clean and no longer stolen. Easy laundering of stolen things. Just don't close the trade window before buying the items back or you will then have to pay full vendor price to get the stuff back!

1:31:56 Ship Building / Ship Buying / Ship selling

i just got this game for either 33% or 50% off & i really think it has SO much potential to be the tertiary arm of the bethesda branding if they take the feedback in stride & work to improve upon it.

i’ve been a bethesda fan since i could first understand questing, with morrowind being my first real RPG on Xbox. mass effect is probably my favorite rpg series though, and i’ve always said how much i’d love a bethesda game in a mass effect setting. and this game honestly surprised me with how good it is compared to how bad ppl were bashing it. i’m genuinely having so much fun with it

but what i’m worried about is bethesda throwing a tantrum bc ppl didn’t like this game and decide to throw away a potentially amazing IP rather than building upon the great foundation and fixing the issues ppl have and making a generational game with Starfield II

And find some crimson bandits in there. ,A N D THEY SHOOT AT YOU FIRST , you have to defend your self. ,,so you shoot a few ,,,,,NEXT THING. Sarah Morgan starts blasting you for killing them. Gives you a lecture on this, that. Bla bla bla ,,,, so you have to come up with an excuse. ,,,,BUT SHE STILL WHINGES. AT YOU. , SHES NEVERRRRR. HAPPY. NEVERRRRRR. OK 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

@LuckyGhost you can you simulation at Atlantis

That will also help and increase the piloting skill

This tip probably got used here if NOT here the tip: If at Full Weight just use your rav-8 (space rover or buggy for short)

For an example: once I land to do a mission I’ll grab my rover and head to the mission. Once arrived I’ll go on foot obviously bc we can’t bring vehicles in doors or caves so we sadly have to work our way back out side using the same place we entered..

Now if you can’t exactly remember the same entrance/ exit point and you used another way that’ll be a bit of a distance to go and re-grab your rover to use to drive back to RTS (ReturnToShip).

To shorten my tip just use your rover as possible for every mission you go on

Edit use rover to fast trave back to ship forgot to mention that

Books can be sold to booksellers like the bookstore in Akla city that asks for old books other than Charles Dickens. You can also give books to Cora - Sam Coe's daughter.

Hi, I am brand new to your channel and to Starfield as well. I did make it all the way through. We play on Xbox series x. My fiance has been playing for almost a year now. I found your video very helpful, especially the skills portion. This game is very complex and very thorough. I appreciate the time you took to make this video.🎉

Hi, I am brand new to your channel and to Starfield. I am wondering, are there skills I need to/should be putting points and effort into for outpost building? I see tons of how to build outposts videos, nobody ever talks about if there is skills involved in making outpost building the best it can be. I want to take it to it's maximum best. I am a builder not a fighter.😅😂😅

26:47 Regarding Cutters, you can find regular cutters on certain ship in the workshop area and sometimes in the science hab. With the exception of Hellars cutter, you can get the Ship Breakers Cutter if you do the first mission for the trackers alliance, at the the same time you collect the key for the Junker Watchdog

Hey did you hear in Starfield you can press W button and move around

@Evantrop

Just gonna point this out for those who preffer to run smugglers or pirates or even explorers u can adjust a setting in game play setting to set ur ships cargo available anywhere i get hit with a minus 6 % experience but only while that setting is active so if ur ever over encumbered and need a way to tranfer ur stuff to ur ships inventory u click that on transfer everything and turn it off ive also found that if right before u turn in a quest u can turn every game setting to maximum level which gives u a nearly 75% increase to experience sat there and leveled to 25 doing this method in less than 2 hours

If you want to launder your stolen items just sell them to a trade authority clerk and buy them back. They'll no longer be marked as stolen

@OniTenshu
@

I can't remember if it was you or not but I remember watching a video that shows how to get Heller's cutter and the guy from the video said to let em know about any other rare cutters.. I just found one called SHIPBREAKERS CUTTER and it's by far the best one in the game. You can get it in the first bounty hounter mission you do to get in to the trackers alliance. Funny I've never seen it talked about tho

I’m pretty positive that undo doesn’t cost a digipick removing the unnecessary key slots definitely requires one, I use undo often when I get to the last level and I would never have any picks left if that was the case
