This is according to Bethesda’s Pete Hines, who said it was his “one piece of advice” for anyone playing the game. Hines said that the Activities inStarfieldmay seem like “throwaway stuff,” but that they can actually lead to “some amazing places and some amazing stories.” So besidesStarfield’s main questand faction quests, it seems fans will also want to be sure to pursue the Activities that they discover in the game if they want to get the most out of their experience.
Pete Hineshas been talking aboutStarfieldquite a bit in the days leading up to the game’s launch. He claims to have about 160 hours logged in the game so far, and recently said thatStarfieldreally gets started after players have wrapped up the main quest. While Hines is certainly biased towards the game, his comments do makeStarfieldsound quite promising, and it will be interesting to see if it lives up to expectations.
Pete Hines isn’t the only Bethesda executive who has been talking aboutStarfieldlately. Game director Todd Howard has also recently spoken about the game, revealing thatStarfieldhas a New Game+ modein the process. This is a change of pace for Bethesda titles, as while they have given players the freedom to explore their open worlds endlessly after wrapping up the quest lines, they haven’t offered New Game+.
Bethesda fans who areexcited to jump intoStarfieldfor themselvesdon’t have to wait much longer, so they will soon be able to find out how the game’s New Game+ feature works and see if Activities are really as worth pursuing as Hines says they are.
