There's no «wrong» way to play big, open-ended RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3 or Starfield, but there kind of is, right? At least, there are a lot of opinions on how to have the most fun in these games, and some of them even come from their creators. Larian boss Swen Vincke offered some advice for our first Baldur's Gate 3 playthroughs, and now Bethesda head of publishing Pete Hines has dropped a Starfield tip ahead of the September 1 launch for premium edition owners.
«My one piece of advice for folks is: do not ignore your activities,» Hines said during an Xbox livestream today (via GamesRadar). «It feels like throwaway stuff that the game is giving you, but there is some amazing stuff in there that doesn't even feel like a real quest but will take you to some amazing places, some amazing stories.
»We encourage you to play this like any [Bethesda Game Studios] game: Do what you want, go where you want, test the game. Be the kind of person you wanna be in this world and see what happens."
I never actually bothered to go very far in Skyrim's main quest, and instead spent dozens of hours aimlessly wandering around Tamriel, so doing stuff that «doesn't even feel like a real quest» shouldn't be a problem for me. But Hines is clearly referring to specific opportunities for adventure called «activities,» so future Starfield players and kindergartners alike should take note: do your activities.
Also at Gamescom, Starfield director Todd Howard said that the RPG includes «a lot of surprises» not yet revealed to the public. I'm going to guess that's true, given that we really haven't seen that much of Starfield over its long development, considering the size of it.
There's not long to go now: Starfield will be out on September 1 for owners of the $100 Premium Edition, and out September 6 for everyone else. It's on Steam, and will also be available on Game Pass.

Starfield players have discovered that the game doesn't render the sun if you have a Radeon AMD graphics card.
If you're playing Starfield on an AMD graphics card, there's a good chance you've missed one of the most glaring bugs in the game, because you just won't have seen anything. The AMD-sponsored Bethesda game simply doesn't render a local star from any planet without an atmosphere on an AMD card.
One Piece’s live-action series on Netflix is better than almost anyone could have hoped, but the Baratie Arc, introducing Sanji and the swordsmanship of the terrifying Dracule Mihawk, is a particular standout. It’s got it all: great-looking food, plenty of fighting, and huge, silly characters with tons of heart. But these fun few episodes don’t hold a candle to the 27-chapter Baratie Arc in Eiichiro Oda’s original manga.
Of all the Starfield stories so far, one hit me right in the feels: the bucket trick no longer works. This classic scam was discovered one day after Skyrim launched and, amazingly enough, survived all the patches and re-release: you simply put a bucket on an NPC's head, blocking their line of sight, and then start stealing stuff.
If you've been exploring planets in the future, as told by Starfield, you might have noticed a distinct lack of land vehicles. It seems cars, trucks and SUVs are a thing of the past in Starfield's vision for the stars, but game director Todd Howard says adding vehicles would «change the gameplay.»
Starfield players are a creative bunch, and when they're not filling spaceships full of potatoes or building New Atlantis in Lego, they're using the robust character creator to recreate a bunch of famous faces.
The launch of a new Bethesda Game Studios title is nothing short of an event, and each new title tends to attract the masses in startling numbers. The studio’s long-awaited sci-fi RPG Starfield has launched today after years of anticipation, and it seems Bethesda is expecting it to pull in an even bigger crowd upon release than any of its previous titles have.
Downloadable content characters Kaido and Yamato will launch alongside Onigashima Battle Luffy as part of “The Battle of Onigashima Pack” for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 in September, publisher Bandai Namco and developer Omega Force have announced.
Before most players are even into Starfield, the classic Bethesda physics gags are going strong. Last week we got a peek at the space future of Hoarders and this week it's all coming up spuds.
The list of officially licensed Xbox Series X/S controllers continues to grow as PowerA has announced today that it's launching an update to its Spectra Infinity gamepad. The new "Advantage Wired Controller for Xbox Series X/S with Lumectra" is available worldwide today.
Bethesda Games Studios is certainly a big studio all on their own. However, much like other big studios like Square Enix or Capcom, when they scale up their games with every generation, that adds up to more work that one studio can’t handle alone. And that was certainly the case with Starfield.
