Starfield: 10 Things The Game DOESN'T TELL YOU 

There's a tribute to a Bethesda gamer fan who died from cancer a few months before he was able to play the game, Alex Hay. You can find it as a note on a table at the entrance of 'the eye'.

I realize New Atlantis is not enclosed. I darted out into the wilderness, went like a mile and climbed a mountain and looked at the huge city from afar, watching ships come and go. It was really cool. Almost got killed by wildlife on the way back into town, and found some loot out there too. Im loving this game.

The Mantis, secret abandoned place, has a ship free to take with shielded cargo already installed, can access the mission during the old neighborhood quest

You dont have to have the targeting system to take out enemy engines, you can fly behind the ship and manually shoot the engines yourself. The targeting system just makes it slightly easier.

The New Game+ sounds like a massive bonus. My least favorite thing in other Bethesda games was every new playthrough I always have to start over. And the fact that playing the story again unlocks new dialog is pretty cool. I kinda hope there's some time loop-esque dialog in some of them. Just to poke a little fun at New Game +.

After 20 hours I can safely say that I'm in love with this game! There is SO MUCH detail in everything, there's A LOT to do, I fell I barely scratched the game lore and mechanics. And very few bugs and just one crash on Xbox. This is it boys, we have a big W after so many disapointments in the last months. Let me get back to the game 🤩

Falcon’s been a bit spicier than normal these last couple videos and I’m here for it

I can honestly say starfield is god dang amazing and im loving every second of it

Sounds like someone's already hit up the Friday afternoon happy hour. 😅 Still, he manages to knock the top 10 Starfield tips video out of the park and I'm here for it! Cheers brother! 🍻

I can't wait to see what the community does with this game in a year or two from now

For those wanting to move contraband, there is a mission you get in the first few levels that gives you the mantis ship for free that comes with a shielded cargo hold, it's already a really good ship but with some engine/reactor upgrades and better weapons it's a great ship

I highly recommend doing the freestar collective ranger quest line. It gives such a good ship once you complete it. Great storage and weapons, it’s even better than some B class and C class and it’s only an A class.

I like Turtles.

You can rename weapons (and probably armor) I named all my fave weapons with a 1,2 or 3, so they immediately are at the top of the inventory list, don’t have to scroll too much. Makes it harder to accidentally sell or lose.

There's actually a early quest around level 8 where you learn how to disable a ship and board them

PSA here registering a ship costs like 10 or 12k but buying one costs like significantly more than that. And the 10k you spend to register it allows you to sell the ship most times you'll actually make a profit from the sell even though it's not gonna be making you filthy rich it can get you 10k in profit give or take if it's a nice enough ship.

I played for like 6hrs last night and only did 1 mission. I was exploring a new planet.. i can easily see me spending 500-1000hrs in this game. Its massive. 4-5yrs ago i heard someone call it "fallout in space" i love fallout, and this game does not disappoint. Need to fix the pick up objects delay tho.

This game is incredible, been playing nonstop

Stealth and archery were fun in Morrowind and Oblivion too. Maybe not strong enough to form the de-facto build, but I remember playing characters who used Marksman and Stealth extensively in both.

Been playing a bit of it and so far can confirm one thing about the console commands, a majority of them that worked in fallout 4 do work in starfield. Such as help "ITEM NAME" 4 is one such console command.

Number 7 10:09. You can land at New Atlantis, Jemison, Alpha Centauri System. Then go to the wells. (Entry in bottom of lodge) then go to trade authority. You can sell the contraband and buy it back. It removes the tag. Your welcome.

Thank's for this video Gameranx! I very much appreciate the warning in number 3. In Mass Effect 1, I was desperately trying to save both companions and (ultimately) failed doing so. It's good to know in advance that something will happen at a certain point. This way, we can prepare for this moment. It might make the choice a bit easier, picking the companion we like less/doesn't offer much to the ship's capabilities. Stealing ships will become a good way to make some income. Capture a ship, then sell it (if you can). As long as the game generates infinite amounts of ships/ai, it's a good way to profit. "Yar yar fiddle dee dee, you are a pirate!"

Number 6: Here are the skills that you need. All of them. You need all the skills.

The lodge has 2 boxes with unlimited capacity, one in your room and one in the room just beyond all the crafting stations on a table

Thank you falcon for making me complete into the unknown quest. I was doing everything but the main story I appreciate it.👍

I'm only 4 hours in, barely scratched the surface. So far I'm loving starfield it's a ton of fun and I've already found myself getting sidetracked on side missions and exploring I can't wait to see what else is out there. The graphics are beautiful, and I've had no bugs yet on my PC.

biggest tip i didn't know until 100 hours in: "change flight mode". hold that button and ur ship can fly sideways etc. basically now u can turn faster and dogfight in space as it's meant to be (u know, momentum and stuff). tips for beginners is to get the mantis free ship. good starting point and just strap all the weapons u can find. as soon as u unlock particle weapons, get those, its op. also for contraband, go to the Wolf system and head to "the den". its the only place u can sell contraband without getting scanned. so u dont need shielded cargo at all. after stealing a ship, especially a pirate ship, they tend to have contraband on board so go to the den to sell it. it's also cheaper to "register" ur ship via the game menu rather than at a ship service tech, by quite a lot of money.

I like that Gameranx is the only outlet telling you that you can retrieve your old equipment in NG+, but they don't tell you how.

I was expecting a bethesda game and it still is (cumbersome menus, npcs babbeling right through a conversation u are trying to have, tiny starter stashes etc) but then there are the modern graphics, npcs not all running to your center mass, shipbuilding, no fog...It's actually a cool game

for joining the crimson fleet, you can also join the vanguard at the MAST in New Atlantis and that's another way into the undercover missions

Been playing for about 10 hours. I have no idea what I’m doing.

Love how Falcon is enjoying himself more and more with each video 😂😂😂

I really like the aesthetic they went with for this game. Guns looks cool, the architecture looks cool. The only thing I feel could use Improvement looks wise are the outfits.

you can also get your lost contraband back from the chest in the security room of the planet wherever you lost it

This game is incredibly fun. About 13 hours in, and i feel like I've barely done anything.

The very first spacesuit I found had the invisibility mod, it’s amazing

Almost 14 hours playing and I have been familiarizing myself with all the game mechanics ... some Main missions but dedicating a lot of time to upgrade my ship, some exploration, but I can definitely sense that it will take a very long time to play this game especially when mods arrive. I started to use Console Commands today.

I foresee SSV Normandy and Pillar of Autumn Ship mod coming out soon

Wow, those tips were ACTUALLY helpful. A tiny bit spoiler-y but understandable given the context and I rather know than not know. Thanks a lot.

I think your commentary is probably my favorite part of these videos 🤣

I joined the crimson fleet way early, did most of the full faction storyline (didn't want to choose yet so put it on hold), but now when I progressed the main story, the fleet don't attack me anymore. It was hella easy doing the missions leading up to "into the unknown".

I kinda like the constellation group, Gives me Umbrella academy vibes

Such a good informative video!! Very Nice loved it!!

NOW this is the legit review we needed. ty, Falcon!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

0:28 I like cheats in single player campaigns. They give replay ability to games. If I’m replaying a campaign for the 50th time and I’m bored because I’ve memorized the entire level, or I’m on that annoying boss fight (that’s not even hard, just really annoying) Than I use cheats to “toy with the AI” and that never gets old. I love the “Bandanna Skull” in halo. (infinite ammo) as a prim example.

Something about tips from Falcon on how to smuggle contraband successfully really tickles me

Gameranx on the grind

Boost pack training should be the first skill you unlock first before anything else. And you only need rank 1 for it.

I like this channel when it's Falcon speaking... he's the best. It's the speaking voice and character that I love. Good job man! As long as you're on here I'll watch!

This TOTALLY sounds like a game I could play for months

Heck yeah im already downloading it and cant wait to play it, Space Cowboy here i come!

Love you Gameranx, I watched you guys before I had my account

I love, love, love this game. I bought the Premium Edition for my Series X and have roughly 5 hours in. So far I haven't had one single bug, no joke. The game looks incredible, plays buttery smooth, and is just a blast to play.

To be fair with a name like "A High Price To Pay" one should assume its going to be a important mission 😆 great video guys, I must say after watching this I'm kinda wanting even more to play it, I guess it's not what we where expecting but it sounds like it has a lot of stuff I personally like 😊

Thank you Falcon for telling us to play into the unknown. That's a great crescendo

Thanks dude these are going to help big time!!!

For #7 you can also just build your own landing platform at an outpost and just add the shielded storage that way.

you dont have to get caught to join crimson fleet... if you do UC questline you will be given an opportunity to go undercover from them without doing any crime.

Just fyi, you can go to the Wolf system which is to the right of the Sol system and sell contraband at the space station there without being scanned. And I REALLY struggled with inventory space so I just poured all of my creds into cargo on my ship. I'm up to 16k storage on it now 😂

You can join the crimson fleet in another way. Speaking to commander Tuala to enlist for the UC. You do the first few missions and after the scary alien encounter you get the option to go undercover in the crimson fleet. At least that's how I did it.

I can't believe how many people missed it but if you get lost or on a planet looking for something use your scanner. It will show a path, like skyrim, and will show buildings caves, etc in the area.

For my playthrough I chose to be a space trucker doing loads. It gives me the weight lifting is good. I think I get a ship perk to and I put some point into haggling and persuade.

Thanks for this nice review, Falcon ❤

Useful tip: you can sell stolen items at the trade [something] place within the first hour of the game in new Atlantis down in the well you’ll see a big green sign for it. It doesn’t seem like a place you’d be able to sell stolen stuff but you can. And if you’re like me and steal everything that isn’t bolted down you can make like 10k credits a day or something like that selling stolen stuff.

After 8 hours of gameplay, my first impressions: 1. I love the character customization, I think it's really nice they placed so much focus on that 2. I love the accessibility, how you can choose the difficulty and the battles aren't very hard 3. One of my disappointments is the space travel, I have noticed you do not even travel, its just cut scene to cut scene and you're basically floating in a restricted space above a planet, you cannot move closer or away from the planet, you can try this yourself. I assumed the game would allow you to travel from planet to planet, literally, where you travel, and as you travel in manually, it loads, but you just take off, a cut scene leaving, and you're floating there in a zone where ships just spawn, and then a cut scene if you want to go anywhere else It seems like you don't fly anywhere, you jump in the ship, cut scene, pick a planet, cut scene, pick a landing spot, another cut scene, it's just cut scenes, and no flying, even Just Cause, GTA etc have more open World freedom 4. On the events, the producers etc said that you can travel and explore so many planets, technically that's correct, but in reality, anywhere means "any restricted zone" on the planet, and you can't even leave that zone walking, you'll be told to "return to ship", so there isn't exploration (some people are saying it's not an exploration game, I understand that, but the Devs and Producers were deceptive when they said you can travel and explore any planet, what they meant was completely something else) 5. The graphics are hit and miss, in space, they are fine, even on usual land they're not bad, but the characters look like they're from a PS2 game 6. Are we even travelling or loading different environments? 7. I love the community support and engagement, especially with the devs, I don't think many other studios have been this open with fans.

It's of course subjective and a matter of personal taste, but I find the design of the ships and space suits / armor to be the opposite of aesthetically pleasing. It's hard to explain why, but they just aren't easy on the eye at all. The ships especially look oddly shaped and tattered. Still can't wait to play on the 6th tho!

This is console command code implementations is amazing. I thought I would need mods to download a bunch of mods to do some of the stuff you just showed off. Wow!

Killer video. Thanks! About 10 hours in i found that armor that makes me invisible & i knew it was overpowered. I've done the same thing & not put any points into combat & only put points into security, guess i gotta switch that up. lol.

If you want a more immersive experience i'd suggest never just going to missions and setting a course it's just a loading screen to your destination. I'd suggest tracking the mission > Going to your ship > Launching > looking for the tracker in orbit > Jumping > Getting up and walking out. You see a lot of cool animations you wouldn't otherwise see.

I had to laugh when you said stealth archery started in Skyrim. Tell that to my antique toon that stealth hunted Bull and Betty Netches all the time way back in Morrowind. Great tips for Starfield though.

Everything that you say isn't explained how to do it, There are quests and storylines that explain exactly how to do it. You just haven't scratched the surface of how deep the RP goes. There's a reddit post of a dude who spent the first 10hours in Neon, Got working for a Drug gang, Now works as supervisor at the drug production lab, and does smuggling runs to different planets. All prompted through quests. The RP in the game is so deep, You've just got to hang out somewhere, Listen in to NPC conversation, And then talk to them when you hear something you're interested in. BAM, You're sent down a questline for whatever role you want to follow. This game is awesome. I haven't even begun to explore the possibilities.

My boy Falcon always coming in clutch! 💪

Had a weird bug where I couldn’t shoot any of my weapons. Exhausted all my options and was about to restart when I tried the console command that allows you to recreate your character. Saved my ass from a huge 6 hour restart.

Another good tip. If you upgrade your outpost skill you can link them together and have all of the material sent to one spot. You can also have your base build items for you to sale. Its a good waybto get a constant cash flow going.

Wow thanks for the contraband note of it having yellow marker. I just acquired something off bounty hunters

Just started playing last night, was randomly exploring and fell on the mantis suit and ship, I'm well chuffed!

20 hours in, just finishing up building my 4th outpost to automate manufacturing the research items, have done pretty much nothing else but exploring random planets. This game is huge

It doesn't tell you about the amount of people complaining about a game that you don't have to play.

Fly to ALL gas/ice giants in all systems and scan them. You’ll automatically 100% survey the whole planet since you can’t land on them. Also, if your on Mars and see a ship land nearby, run over to it and hijack it. I did this and acquired a ship called “Thresher” that was a HUGE upgrade from starter ship. Lastly, use the scanner whenever there’s NPC’s around, if they have a unique name go talk to them! 50% of the time they have a side quest/mission/activity for you.

Boost packs can be changed to the others. So if you find a nice Legendary and it has basic boost you can switch to one of the others as long as the requirements are met.

Glad I watched this video after immediately getting caught stealing just after meeting the constellation group, I am now indeed a space pirate 😂😢 amazing quest tho, worth the future bounty I'm gonna collect

That level 69 joke got me good 😂

In the Wolf galaxy there is a small starstation called “The Den”. It doesn’t scan you, the vendor is literally a 3 second walk from your docking station, and the vendor has more credits than 95% of other vendors at nearly 12,000 credits.

Starfield is such a huge game i will still be finding out new things about the game for years lol

We've leveled up from stealth Archer to Invisible stealth Shotgun. We all know what will happen at high levels

Had to remember to come back haha A day or so ago, I ran "Into The Unknown". This was after doing the Mantis run at level 10 and doing the Paradiso/colonists stuff 😂😂 MAN!! Listen to Falcon when he says "Trust Me"! Hahahaha Soooo much would've not only opened up more options but made a lot of it easier as well 😅 Hey, those 40s in Mantis were fun to trial out either 🤣🤘🏾

Great tips thanks! I'd definitely make mistakes, probably still will lol.

It doesn’t tell you that it doesn’t support hdr or have brightness slider support

I'm going to colonise and declare myself Emperor of Earth.

Awesome tips.. ty!!

This. Like i can understand games like BG3 not having NG+, but any RPG with a story absolutely should

There’s a whole lot more than 10 thing they didn’t tell you about Starfield 😂😂😂

I always get thrown off by how Falcon pronounces "EYE-teritive".

One thing about console commands: you DON'T have to type all the 0's before any other character. You only have to type them in if they come AFTER any other characters. For example, if you want money, you can just type "f" instead of 000000f. But if you want to get a Grendel, you would have to type in "28a02", because if you don't type the 0, you'll get an empty drink pack instead. Besides that, letters being in caps don't matter at all. Edit: you can also scroll up to see the console history by holding FN and pressing arrow up or down. This lets you see way more information instead of just letting you repeat commands you used before. Very useful if some item IDs are hidden at the top of the list when you type "help (name)"

I recommend going down the Science tree a bit just for the weapons or armor enhancement since idk if there's another way to get attachments or specific mods other than RNG loot

I'm 12 hrs in I'm a massive Bethesda fan but good God are they ever going to make a game where the combat feels amazing I think the shooting feels worse then fallout 4

Such an amazing game so far, its made my whole year

There's like cover mechanic similar to Fallout 4 where your character can peek out of cover when you aim your weapon. Hope this makes sense. I've tested this out and it works. On the corners and when crouched down a tall enough object.

The console menu saved me in Morrowind and Oblivion so many times. I understand having it around so that people complain less about bugs in the pre release.

I’ve been a PlayStation only player for the last 10+ years and I’m not sure whether or not to switch over to the dark side because this game looks too good 😭😂
