Starfield Official Trailer - Xbox and PC Exclusive
15Starfield's story takes place in and around a region of space known as the Settled Systems: a 50 light year radius of human expansion around our own solar system. It's divided up between two major factions—the United Colonies and the Freestar Collective—who are at an uneasy peace after a recent war. Players might face other threats, including "Ecliptic mercenaries, pirates of the Crimson Fleet, violent Spacers, or even the fanatical religious zealots of House Va'Ruun."
Also introduced are other Starfield cities and locations: New Atlantis, the capital of the United Colonies, and Akila City, the capital of the Freestar Collective, which is walled to keep out "alien predators that are a cross between a wolf and a velociraptor." The latest addition is Neon, the ‘pleasure city’ that used to be a fishing dock until workers caught a psychedelic fish and the entire area turned more towards nightclubs than angling.
It wouldn't be a Bethesda RPG without some clashing factions and associated questlines to dive into. Constellation, a group of human explorers, seems like the game's main faction. Todd Howard has described the group as "like NASA meets Indiana Jones meets the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a group of people that are still searching for answers."
Otherwise, we don't know many specifics, but we've gotten brief descriptions of some Starfield factions that we'll encounter in our space voyages. According to a Bethesda video Q&A with quest designer Will Shen, Starfield's faction questlines will play a bit more like Skyrim than Fallout 4. In other words, they'll all be independently playable: You should be able to play as you please without locking yourself out of a faction's questline, which was possible for some faction storylines in Fallout 4.
Bethesda's system requirements for Starfield are pretty modest, considering the game's galactic scale. Turns out you can cram a thousand or so planets into 125 gigabytes of hard drive space. It will need to be an SSD, though.
