Putting off this main story quest for too long could mean you're missing one of the game's best parts.

In Starfield, there are many characters to meet, hundreds of quests to complete, and literally more than a thousand planets to explore. Suffice it to say, anyone could get distracted many times over. If you're like me, you might even want to delay the main story quest in favor of some of the faction quests or planet-hopping, but I learned way too late--about 40 hours into my game--that one specific main mission should actually be prioritized when it's available early on. Here's what you should know so you don't make the same mistake as me.
The mission in question is called Into The Unknown, and you'll unlock it just a few hours into the main story. The mission will appear in your quest log simultaneously alongside two others on the critical path. When I saw those three pop up together, I decided to procrastinate doing any of them for a long time, so I present my experience to you as a cautionary tale. This mission is important not just to the story, but in how it introduces certain gameplay mechanics.
To borrow an example from another Bethesda game you likely played before, ignoring Into The Unknown for a long time would be like playing dozens of hours of Skyrim without shouts. Can it be fun? Certainly! I was having a great time anyway, but Into The Unknown fundamentally changes something important about your abilities as the protagonist in the space-faring saga.
I won't mention spoilers here so you can see it all for yourself now that you know which mission you need to chase down, but if you want a heavy-handed hint, you can read this article we published earlier this year.

There are a wide variety of companions to recruit in , but one of them seems to have walked right out of a history book. Each companion in is different: some of them are friends and allies who devote their lives to the player character, some of them are mere mercenaries who can be hired for a fee, and some of them land somewhere in between. They all have their likes and dislikes, and a few of them can even been romanced. They can follow the player character directly, work on their ship, or be assigned to an Outpost in .
To say that Starfield is huge is an understatement. There are over a thousand planets and moons to explore, which means traveling to several solar systems. More of the worlds you’ll discover are barren, though they have useful resources to help you craft. A few rare planets will hold life, and some will even be hospitable enough for humans to settle permanently.
It’s time to jump back into the world of Pokemon with The Teal Mask, the first of two expansions for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Being a dedicated spacer I've never had much interest in the base construction aspect of Starfield, but that was before I learned that you can spacewalk by means of console commands, aka cheats. Reddit user WeirdConcern4666 made history on this front yesterday. Here's how you do it: 1) get up from the cockpit controls, 2) hit the tilde key to open the command console at the bottom of the screen, 3) type "player.setpos x 10" to teleport your character outside the ship, then hit return and 4) type "setgravityscale 0" to engage zero gravity and stop your character plummeting endlessly. Then hit the tilde key again to close the command console, and well, there you go.
The first Starfield mod created by renowned modder doodlum (the same one behind the recent Skyrim Light Limit Fix mod that removes the limits on dynamic lights in The Elder Scrolls V) is called Upscaling Fix.
