Hey Michael. You should look into the stealth mechanics, as I'm thinking there's a pretty big thing that everyone missed. Equipped weight affecting stealth. Meaning what a stealth character should do is build from the lightest weight space suits available, modding from the lightest types of weapons, and looking for the Titanium Build traits. Before the ninja equipment is all good to go, what you actually want to do is unequip your suit and helmet for a massive stealth bonus. You can still re-equip instantly if a fight breaks out, so that's not really an issue.
I loved the old fallout 4 builds. Still rewatch them for the occasional play-through. Looking forward to seeing what the channel does with Starfield.

Same! Already looking into a specific build and traits through the lore and content being put out. Kicking myself for not having the newer system or PC. Good thing Bethesda games are timeless!
I went with the Wanted Trait and ran into some hunters on the first planet you fly to, killed them, then noticed they had Boost Packs. So when I leveled up, I put a point in it. I love that a simple trait choice (combined with Ronin) led to the acquisition and use of something that otherwise I might not have bothered with for some time. Feels very organic.

I found the den being a great place to sell contraband. It's in the wolf system just a little bit up and right of the starting system. They don't scan when you enter the system. Great for a beginner.
I am very happy with this and Baldur's gate 3, the new standard of games, no DLC no microtransactions, full game with tons of content.
I honestly thought the uc vanguard story felt like the main story when doing it. It was incredible

I doubt that actually
One tip is to make sure and check the stats on guns before discarding or selling them even if they're just common quality. A Legendary is cool to find but the stats it has may not suit your play style and a good common may be better suited. I found one common Maelstrom with the semi-auto feature and the damage it did was as good as low level Lawgivers with a much larger magazine and faster fire rate.
So happy that you're making starfield videos hoping for build vids
just wanted to put this down here, but when leveling for damage, the perk is looking at your amo type for ballistics or laser, and your model for gun type, so if you like a layzer pistol then you can advance the lazer perk and the pistol perk and that will work on the layzer pistol, but if you have a wepon that dose diffrent kinds of damage the damage will only increase with percks based on the amo type, not the damage
Great info! Especially the tips about not being stingy, outposts not required, and upgrading scanning. Thanks!
This is my favorite tips video so far. This is exactly the kind of info I was looking for!
Remember to hail ships in orbit. You can sometimes get activities from talking to other ship captains and it is the easiest way to buy hard to come by resources in the early parts of the story.
I am endlessly over the moon I am now apart of the crew here of your subscribers. It was your starfield review video that got me bsck to being excited after the bashing and things online. Had been excited for so long and I understand some games after for everyone and no games are perfect, there will always been negative reviews but I won't like some of the stuff did make me a bit bummed. But seeing ur video aswell as gamerants article got me way up there being excited again. Stoked for this video
Seeing you two be excited and happy about Starfield makes me genuinely more happy than when I’m playing the game myself. I’m loving the game, but as someone who’s been watching your channel for like 10 years at this point, it fills me with joy seeing a win for BGS and how much you two love it
On my umpteenth restart I really enjoy my Industrialist w/ Kid Stuff, Dream Home & Freestar Collective upbringing. It enriches the content, roleplay… You see, he signed on with Argos and they set him up w a loan for a home BUT pirates, spacers and general lawlessness made him realize that both FC and UC had ineffective almost bounty hunter style law enforcement, and decided to become the Mantis, Vanguard and Ranger to better control corrupt ineffective organizations from the inside and fight crime throughout the systems. The mother was from UC and father from FC, grandfather had run a successful restaurant on Akila…and parents had moved around partly also due to the war. This industrialist started his mining, pharmaceutical and manufacturing empire on Bessel 3B and then infiltrated Ryujin to better understand his competitors, setting up outposts mostly in FC Space due to less regulation. He saw himself as a Batman or Ironman which were also based on early 20th century industrialists that competed in other fields.
Awesome video. Thank you. You have helped me with quite a few important tips that have explained alot of things. Top job 👍
Excellent video! Really appreciate all the insight
My build has been a solder with the adoring fan alien dna and he’s wanted the most fun I have had in years I get more of an oblivion feel to this game and I love it
Didn’t plan on going shotguns but found a legendary 4 shot coachman that does poison damage from the tutorial and I’m still rocking it at lvl 10. Such a cool game, loving my roguish industrialist
Excellent video. You guys always have the goods.
So pumped! I’ve missed you guys!! I took a break from Skyrim after 7 years of playing it!
Man I am so pumped for this. I refused to pay for an early access bundle but all of these review videos are making me wish I had lol. I play a decent amount of Star Citizen, and have been desperately waiting for a slightly more user friendly game of the same style. I think this will be it!

I also played a decent amount of Star Citizen. I've seen a lot of comments a bit upset that Starfield doesn't have the same kind of, flying planet to planet or planet to another solar system like Star Citizen or even Elite Dangerous but personally, that's the worst part of those games. The waiting for the FTL to kick in or to slowly make your way to the next stellar body. This feels like, to a degree, SC trimmed of the fat. My only disappointment is I'd love to be able to deactive an enemy ship, exit into space Zero-G and sneak on board and take over the ship. Or just get out of my ship and walk on an asteroid to mine it.

Played the first campaign mission and 2 hours later after completing a side quest I already have a full legendary armor set and a new ship, there’s literally so much stuff to do and the game is pretty great from what I’ve seen so far that I don’t even care that the console is only running 30fps, I liked having to choose a background for your character and choosing certain traits that affect the game, this game will literally keep me busy forever

2:39 "Don't feel like you're missing out" most excellent advice, and I need to remind myself of this at times.
Surveying is soooo much fun!! It’s probably one of the most addictive features I’ve ever found in a game, I could not be arsed at all to begin with, I just saw it as a chore!! Once I got started I could not stop, it’s sooooooooooo much FUN!!!!

I have to say. I came straight here after my session. This game is amazing. The reason I came straight to this channel is because I know this game was a love letter to us RPers of the fanbase. And those of us interested in lore. I know when it comes to rp in BGS games no one does it better than fudgemuppet. Which is why I confidently can say, without watching any videos of his on Starfield that he enjoys it probably as much as I do. Skyrim was for the casuals. Still, tons of rp potential but it leaned more towards the casuals. Starfield? Leans towards the more hardcore of us. Those of us that actually want to fully be immersed in the universe that is Starfield. The fact that thought, you’d know be cool? Debt collecting, and the fact that I am actually able to be a debt collector. Like I thought of it and was able to actually make it happen in Starfield. That’s what’s so amazing, is you can literally live out any role you want to play. Bounty Hunter, pirate, scoundrel, freight hauler, merchant, miner, criminal overlord, hit man, monster Hunter, space Cowboy, outlaw, scavenger, you name it and it’s possible. And there are several ways to fill said role.
The gameplay looks so good!!!!
I always liked to be a surveyor in nms so I already planned to look for the survey stuff. I'm glad to know it's good here too. 😁
I cant wait for the builds to come with starfields
It is so good to see a channel that doesn’t bash the game for what it is. It’s the Bethesda formula with a more ambitious scope. You are free. People don’t get it. And that’s so sad
4:25 Got lucky here. Playing as a UC Native Born Diplomat who was a real Taskmaster at what he did, ensuring all those within his influence pushed themselves to reach their potential and their best, but in an effort to prioritize efficiency and transparency, he had exposed the corruption of several others, leading to a price being set on his head. Instead of seeing these bounty hunters as would-be assassins, however, my character sees them as the key to another ship for his fleet, to carry out his will.
I'm so hyped for this game, I'm hoping to build a shock trooper/beast hunter type character.
You could also change the diffrent types of boosts you jet pack has by using the space suit workbench
Imma say it, just saw the video after playing for over 30 hours, and still learned some things. Seriously, this game is the best from bethesda so far, the bad critics were obviously never fans of bethesda to start with, but for anyone who love their games, this is their greatest achievement, by far!
Amazing video.
Also if you enjoy ship building i highly recommend building an outpost with a large landing bay because it includes the npc and have pretty much every part so no more hopping from station to station for different parts
1:50 Sounds like when I got Martin Septim to Cloud Ruler Temple and thought, “Ok, he can chill there for a while.”
I love ship building and space combat. I’ve been hardspecing into the tech tree
Fabulous video
I love fudge muppet. Scott and micheal haven been in my life for a very long time.
Thanks man! Earned a like, and sun from me ❤
There is one thing about Starfield that is a deal-breaker for me. It's just unacceptable, a glaring oversight or error that I just can't accept. That is, the damn companions can't walk with the player. Instead they just stand there until the player gets too far away and then they run to catch up; then they stand there again and repeat. It's so damn annoying.
Ngl I picked adoring fan Oblivion reference my first playthrough and it made for some interesting dialogue options with other NPCs
Seems like they nailed the atmosphere...as much as I loved W3, KC:D, and others...the combination of world building and freedom with custom character creation is what kept Skyrim and FO4 going for so long...and then the mods...combine the best of those two into a gritty space game and I can't wait to get to playing it...eventually...
Tip 1. You can move with WASD and run with shift Tip 2. Loot your enemies. Tip 3. Sell your loot Tip 4. Do side quests Tip 5. Pay attention to dialogue Tip 6. Your dialogue options can change the course of game (they don't) Tip 7. Remember to save game before a big fight Tip 8. Remember glomglark from first mission? Accept his quest to not lose a medium rarity gun 4395 hours into main story. Tip 9. Try to get headshots as they do critical damage (+2,67% extra dmg) Tip 10. Just try to have fun and play the way you want. Please like and subscribe for more essential tips and tricks. This has been a cocksucker and I'll see you next time. Peace

This was well done. While every other review is solely focused on the looter shooter experience, I believe there are people like me looking for more. Looting and shooting is fine, but it appears Bethesda has gone through great lengths to include other mechanics that appeal to all players. I'm happy to see your inclusion of these mechanics as that is exactly what I want to see. I was about to refund my unplayed premium version but will actually give it a run. Thanks again.

Im the same with that I'm wanting a different Kind of experience for play style to the looter shooter ways. Love a good looter shooter but this feels like more to me. I'm very interested in building my character and the journey there with the unique small things a decision can make. Excited to explore wander around and come across things, custom a ship, and when I eventually can build a well oiled outpost with a crew. Ofc combat is going to be super too. Tho I'm somewhat intimated by the skill aspect of this game.
