Starfield lets you be a total faction flip-flopper, so don't worry about pissing anyone off

's dual Crimson Fleet and United Colonies quest line comes down to one crucial moment, where the player may choose either to kill or persuade the pirate leader Delgado. As the captain of the Crimson Fleet, Delgado has been the player character's first point of contact with the pirate legion since the very beginning of their business relationship. This is intertwined with another faction quest line: that of the United Colonies. UC's SysDef requires the player character to infiltrate the Crimson Fleet, reporting back to the interstellar trade regulator with knowledge of the pirates' activities and ultimate goals.

Starfield's space travel isn't exactly satisfying: no matter how much the music swells and the engines roar, travel itself is just a series of short cinematic sequences and loading screens. No one was expecting Starfield to be a sim like Elite Dangerous or a seamless experience like No Man's Sky, but I think a lot of players agree Starfield's travel system is just a little… meh. You never feel like you're really flying anywhere.

, like many of Bethesda's past RPGs is a game full of choices and consequences. Most often, major choices in any given quest line will come through dialogue or optional objectives clearly marked in the quest log. However, there's one choice players don't even know they're passively making, which can have devastating consequences later on in the game's main campaign.

It's been a morning full of leaks for Xbox. Thanks to its lengthy legal battle with the FTC, we now know about a refreshed Xbox Series X design dubbed "Brooklin", as well as a new controller that might be on the way with precise haptics and modular thumbsticks. 

There's now a Starfield mod that lets you swap the game's best yet ugliest armor for some Star Wars-themed space gear. 

Another day, another Starfield exploit. This one lets players plunder the inventory of the poor unsuspecting shopkeeper in Akila City.

Cashing in a Starfield money glitch has never been easier: devious players have uncovered two unintentionally lootable vendor inventories located right next to each other, and you can plunder everything they've got just by crouching. We've checked this get-rich-quick trick for ourselves, and it's real – and disgustingly simple to pull off. 

Here's everything you need to know about getting close with Starfield's space cowboy, Sam Coe.

Only two weeks after launch, it's hard to say who's dissecting Starfield the fastest, speedrunners or modders. Put another check in the modding column, because one of the most popular mods for Skyrim now has a Starfield version. Alternate Start Starfield is here to give you different places to begin your space adventure instead of being some grunt miner. Because seriously, why would I choose the diplomat background if I'm still going to wind up a «dusty?»

A Starfield player has uncovered the lost NASA Opportunity rover on Mars.

Starfield's jogging speed can appear to be a little fast but thankfully if you're finding it to be an issue a few players have already created some mods to help. 

I haven't done a whole lot of crafting in Starfield simply because I haven't needed to. Bethesda's space RPG throws a steady supply of enemies at you and those enemies drop tons of weapons and gear, most of it already fitted with useful attachments. I've found very few excuses to spend time at my crafting bench upgrading my weapons at all.
