Starfield’s lead quest designer Will Shen has divulged more about the upcoming game’s faction quests and the players’ companion side-kicks.
In a new video, Shen revealed Starfield’s faction quests will be more similar to those from Bethesda’s Skyrim, in the sense that players will be able to experience each faction independently. This will not be a Fallout 4 situation, which saw players being locked out of factions after joining another (something that was a bone of contention among some members of the community).
“One of the early things we decided on was making sure that the main quest actually kind of gives you a little bit of a tour of the settled systems and all of the major players there so that we can give you a taste of what they’re going to be up to,” Shen explained.
