Along with more than 1000 planets to explore, Starfield is expected to feature a variety of hand-crafted original content for players.
The gaming community has known for a long time that Bethesda’s Starfield is going to be an ambitious game. Instead of being part of the already popular Fallout and The Elder Scrolls franchises, Starfield is an entirely new IP, complete with a vast galaxy filled with its own unique lore. Part of the scale of Starfield that seemed to frustrate fans at first was the announcement that the game would feature more than 1,000 planets for players to explore.
The reason why this Starfield feature has upset some in the gaming community is that because these 1,000 planets are auto-generated, it looks like there will be little crafting content that fans of the game Bethesda can use. However, in part of a recent interview, Bethesda director Todd Howard said that Starfield will have a lot of completely original content for players to enjoy, and this will exist alongside the created planets. automatically fill the game’s vast galaxy.
According to Howard, Bethesda has “hand-made more original content in the [Starfield], more than any other game we’ve done.” The Bethesda director then went on to talk about the range of original features players can expect, stating that there are more than 200,000 lines of dialogue embedded in Starfield. It looks like the main Starfield missions will be where most of this original content will be. “If people just want to do what they’re used to in our games, follow a main questline and do the quest sequences, you’ll see what you expect from us” is what Howard confirm
As a result, it’s possible that Starfield’s open world will have more of an auto-generated feel, but everything the player needs to do to complete the main objectives will be given precise attention to detail. According to Howard, this isn’t a huge step up from what Bethesda has done before with their previous titles, as he has stated that auto-generation is also used for the landscapes and quests in the game. Skyrim. Bethesda is also said to be still using its older titles as Todd Howard says that The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall is a game the company is looking at heavily in terms of “game flow.”
Whether you want to explore the more than 1,000 planets that Starfield has to offer or just want to complete the main objectives, it looks like Bethesda’s upcoming title will have plenty of work to do. According to recent reports, Starfield’s main quest will take longer than Skyrim or Fallout 4, with about 30 to 40 hours to complete. Considering the amount of time side quests can take, gamers who are dedicated to the game can be prepared to spend hundreds of hours on Starfield.
