Expectations are so sky high for Bethesda’s upcoming interstellar open-world RPG Starfield that you’ll likely need to deplete your starship’s entire reserve of fuel just to make the jump to reach them. In particular, one standout feature represents the developer’s return to one of its greatest strengths, after straying so far from it in recent releases.
During the lengthy Starfield Direct showcase, we saw how features like backgrounds, skills, and traits will unlock new dialogue options during conversations. The different traits players acquire from their background or from character creation will provide numerous paths for players to advance in during dialogue. For example, the Neon Street Rat will unlock special dialogue options in addition to better rewards from quests on Neon, but at the cost of an increased crime bounty from other factions.
