The Crucial Starfield Mission You Must Complete at the Earliest Opportunity

In Starfield, there is a vast array of characters to encounter, numerous quests to fulfill, and an extensive selection of over a thousand planets to explore. It is easy to become easily distracted with all the options available. If you are anything like me, you may find yourself deviating from the main story quest in favor of faction quests or planet-hopping. However, I discovered, albeit a bit too late, that there is one specific main mission that should be prioritized from the beginning. Allow me to share my experience and enlighten you so that you can avoid making the same error.

The mission at hand goes by the name of "Into The Unknown," and you will unlock it relatively early on in the main storyline. It will appear in your quest log alongside two other crucial missions. When I encountered these three quests simultaneously, I made the decision to procrastinate and postponed them for an extended period of time. Therefore, I now caution you with my experience. This mission holds significant importance not only for the narrative but also in introducing essential gameplay mechanics.

Ensure that you do not neglect Into The Unknown for an extended period of time, drawing a comparison to playing hours upon hours of Skyrim without the use of shouts. Would it still be enjoyable? Certainly! I personally had a blast, but it's important to note that Into The Unknown brings about a fundamental change in your protagonist's abilities within the space-faring storyline. Don't let yourself be drawn away until you've completed Into The Unknown. I won't spoil anything here, allowing you to experience it all firsthand now that you know the mission to pursue. However, if you're in need of a not-so-subtle hint, you can refer to an article we published earlier this year.
