The Ultimate Wishlist for Starfield Fans

Bethesda's deep dive into the upcoming Starfield during the Xbox Games Showcase caught the attention of many fans. Since its first gameplay reveal, the game has undergone significant improvements, leaving fans eager to uncover new details and mechanics. As the release date approaches, fans are hopeful that Bethesda will reveal more game-changing features that will elevate Starfield to new heights. With its status as Bethesda's biggest title to date and a system seller for the Xbox Series X, fans anticipate that a number of innovations and additions will make Starfield one of the best open-world sci-fi games ever made.

5 Choices That Impact Story

Bethesda's developers seem to be placing great emphasis on the dialogue sequences in Starfield, aiming to make them an essential aspect of the game's overall experience. Considering that most RPG titles incorporate this element in some way, it's a prerequisite for Starfield, but the potential to elevate its importance is immense. By following in the footsteps of games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Detroit: Become Human, which prioritize player choice and decision-making, Starfield can take it to the next level by ensuring that dialogue segments have a significant impact on the overarching story. This could further enhance the already anticipated exceptional gaming experience.

4 Multiplayer Post Launch

The potential for Starfield to offer a co-op or multiplayer mode after its initial release would undoubtedly elevate the already highly anticipated sci-fi game. With gameplay elements like traversing different planets, building ships, and mining for materials, a co-op mode could enhance the experience even further and potentially surpass similar titles like No Man's Sky. While it may be unlikely for Bethesda to introduce this feature, fans would certainly welcome it with open arms if it were to become a reality.

3 Weapon Rarity Levels/Loot

Fragment 7: Bethesda must implement a rewarding loot system in Starfield that avoids feeling like a live service, while providing enough weapons with varying rarities and stats to enhance the gameplay experience.

2 Multiple Romance Options

Despite the presence of romance options and intimate scenes in RPG games like Cyberpunk 2077, many fans believe that there is still untapped potential in this area. Bethesda has confirmed that Starfield will also include romance options, presenting an opportunity to create one of the most authentic and diverse systems yet. While some RPGs have successfully implemented romance, there is still room for improvement. Bethesda should aim to make Starfield the first RPG that offers a truly authentic and varied romance system, allowing players to choose from a wide range of dialogue options and romantic interests for a more organic and less scripted experience.

1 Honor System

Starfield's personality system in character creation presents the possibility of an honor or social system. Fans of Red Dead Redemption 2 will recognize the concept of player behavior affecting their honor in the game. Although Starfield is distinct from Red Dead Redemption 2, incorporating a similar system could allow choices made during story and side missions to influence the personality traits selected during character creation.

Starfield is set to release on September 6, 2023 on Xbox Series X/S and PC.
