Things I Wish I Knew Before I Played StarField

In this video, the speaker shares tips and things they wish they had known before playing StarField. They cover topics such as stowing away weapons, utilizing the quick wheel for weapon selection, managing inventory capacity and oxygen consumption, transferring items to companions and the ship’s cargo hold, physically moving items in the game world, accessing free look in space, and utilizing the research overflow system for faster progress.

The speaker shares some helpful tips and things they wish they had known before playing Starfield, the newly released game. They mention that it took them some time to figure out how to stow away their weapon, which is done by pressing and holding the “R” key. They also discovered a quick wheel for weapon selection, allowing for quick swapping between weapons and grenades.

The speaker mentions the issue of carrying capacity and oxygen consumption when the inventory is full. They reveal that players can ask their companions to trade gear, enabling them to transfer items to their companions and free up space in their own inventory. They explain the process of transferring cargo from their character to the ship’s cargo hold, highlighting that players need to be fully boarded inside the ship to access this feature.

The speaker points out a feature that may be intuitive to veteran Bethesda game players but not to newcomers. They explain that players can physically move items they find in the world, not just pick them up and put them in their backpack. This allows for interactions and decoration within the game environment.

Another tip provided is the ability to access free look while in space by long-pressing the middle mouse button, allowing players to look around their cockpit. Lastly, the speaker mentions a system called research overflow, where putting surplus materials into research projects can cause those materials to overflow and fulfill the requirements for other components. This can help players progress faster in the game by completing research projects even if they are missing some materials.

The speaker encourages viewers to share any additional tips they may have in the comments section and promises more Starfield guides and tutorials in the future. They conclude by thanking the viewers for watching and inviting them to join them in space.
