For the piloting skill to level up fast just keep doing the simulation in the UC vangard building on New Alantis and you can get infinite ships to destroy

I wished (File Not Found) let you choose your own starting skills.

There is literally no downside to getting the "Hero Worshipped" perk. You get a companion who is not only a reference to another game, but they also love you ❤

I think that in the end-game pistols are the strongest weapon overall. The pistol perk is stronger than other perks (20% more damage), and it has by far the most useful level 4 upgrade, which essentially amounts to an additional 25% damage for 5 seconds after getting a kill. Add this to the 50% extra crit damage you get later on and that amounts to 37.5% additional damage. For example one of the weapons you get from the pirate quest is the Keelhauler, which is fully automatic. It deals 110-170 * 6 damage in around a second. Even the tankiest characters in the game die almost instantly to that much damage.

The freestar trait is my favorite of them all!! You should do it, or the other ones for role-playing purposes alone! It has everyone else acknowledge that you are a member of that faction or from that area. It’s really cool! Like my dialogue is even country western sounding!

I really wish some of the traits had more of a world impact. Like Kid Stuff, how cool wouldn't it be that if the money you keep sending your parents, will eventually change some parts in their apartment? Maybe a new Tv, some new clothes, hair implant for dad and such. Would also be cool if you could reject some rewards and instead ask a favor in aiding your parents, like, how cool wouldn't it be if you could reject a reward from someone in high power, and and ask them to move and upgrade your Parent's standing? Give them an absolutely High Class Luxury home, balcony with a pool, a Maid and/or a Butler and what not. I know it's just for Flavor, but it would be a nice touch. Could even go the complete opposite, if you decide to no longer support them, they're forced to move out and end up in poverty and have to move down into The Well, or force your dad out of retirement to get back to work just to survive. Or a combination of Kid Stuff and Dream Home! Have your folks move into this fancy house with you, it would be like a Vacation they always wanted, but permanent. It's the small details that matter.

At least for me, stealth is a pretty good perk. Since being able to do stealth damage, and extra damage with suppressed weapons like the one I use, I find it easier to kind of get people from a distance when going to a camp or something and continuing further. Love the video man 👍🏼

In regards to Dream Home, You also get a free house on New Atlantis for doing one of the Vanguard questlines to completion, specifically the Terrormorph one, which you can do at anypoint after you go through the Old Neighborhood quest(Good gear and weapons are recommended however)

I chose to be evil for my first playthrough and took both "Hero Worshiped" and "Wanted" I thought it would be funny and interesting if the adoring fan was pining over an infamous criminal/terrorist. For my 3rd trait I chose taskmaster because the bonus for seems very strong for just an upfront increase in recruitment cost and I want to do allot of ship combat/have a large pirate crew. I think that is a good balance between so called "traits that add content" vs "traits that improve the power of your character."

One skill I cannot stress enough is PAYLOADS in the Tech category. Since the icon is a rocket/missile I always assumed it was just missile stuff. But it ACTUALLY INCREASES CARGO HOLD SPACE for your ship! And iirc it's +50% at max rank or something so you can really get TONS of space (heh, get it?) for your hoarding needs. And let's be real, you will be leveling the tech tree anyway for the jump pack and pilot skills anyway so you will always have access to this pretty early.

Wanted is one of those traits that I wish I could have picked up later instead of starting with it. They're good XP and the ships can be good money, but when you're just starting out they can spawn several times your level (I had an encounter in space with Lv30 bounty hunters at just level 6) which isn't very fun when they show up while you're in the middle of a mission.

I like to pick traits for role-playing purposes. Example: my Space Scoundrel is from the FC and pissed off the wrong group (wanted). In contrast, my Combat medic just left the Service after completing his first UC tour of duty which was planet-based (terra firma). He took the mining job so he could move out of his parent's house.

The absolute number one tip for Starfield is never be concerned about adding a point to a skill! The lvl cap is over 12k. Seriously you can lvl to well above twelve thousand! Don't won't to spoil anything but you also can play the game through over and over with the same character and keep your level and abilities. It's called new game plus or ng+. So put that point in that skill you want. It's not hurting anything! You lose your money, ships, inventory and it just resets the game for your character over and over as many times as you want.

I made my guy look like Gordon Ramsay, then chose Chef. Used a knife for the entire first play through. I definitely had dialogue choices and fun random dialogue about cooking and being a chef.

I am a Bounty Hunter with Xenobiology, Hero Worshipped and Kid Stuff. I'm having a blast with the roleplaying aspects of the game.

For Those Wanting to Min-Maxing Character Power. The Best Traits are Alien DNA, Terra Firma, and Introvert/Extrovert. Base Oxygen amount is 100. You can only increase your oxygen level by 30% via rank 3 of the fitness skill. So a maximum of 130 oxygen. Alien DNA, and Terra Firma Both give you +50 Oxygen each which is insane. Youll start the game with 200 oxygen on planets. Plus the introvert/extrovert trait so you drain your huge oxygen level even slower. I never ever have oxygen issues and for exploring long distances it helps immensely.

As an introvert, I considered going that route… however, never leaving the house doesn’t make a very exciting space odyssey 😂

Yeah, the dream home has been pretty underwhelming to me. It's really remote and kind of a pain to get to, and it doesn't come with any furnishing. Don't think there's anyone to talk to to pay money to auto furnish it. Also, another thing that kind of annoys me about the inside of every building is the blinds are always closed so you can't see outside any window, but that's a problem with every building and not specific to the dream home. Still though, the perk is more interesting to me than most of the others since it adds a unique location. I paid off the mortgage already, and I'll probably come back to it later when I'm in the mood to craft and place furniture around. I do really like the interior. Went with Kid Stuff, Dream Home, and Wanted, and even after getting around 20 hours into the game I don't think I regret going with those traits.

I went Hero Worshipped and stacked damage with Wanted + Spaced. I keep my hp at 30-40% at all times and so far, it's really good. Still have to test if the damage redux from Spaced is boosting the Wanted dmg boost.

I'm sold on the dream house unless 9:30 @ESO wants to do a Video on all houses in SF then I may change my mind 😂

I didn't know what look I was going for when I made my guy but when I made him bald I realised he looked alot like Billy Darley off the movie Death Sentence lol, so i gave him face hair like Billy's as well and he's a dead ringer 😆

Spent like 30 Minutes August 31 deciding between Dream House and Wanted. In the end I went with the House and was useful when I couldn't sneak Contraband. I simply paid 500 to access the home and built a storage to store my contraband items until I can sell them off.

The Adoring Fan can be annoying but I find him funny when my ship lifts off and he yells 'Weeee" lol.

I am wondering if Bethesda will add in new character traits, romances/companions, perks, etc for Starfield when their dlc, Shattered Space releases as well as any future dlc they might release

Absolutely shocked you didn't mention who voices the parents in Kids Stuff - it's Tim Russ (aka, Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager) and Nana Visitor (aka, Kira from Star Trek Deep Space Nine). Also, while I'm not certain if the Livingstone pistol is a direct reference, but Livingston was the name of Picard's Australian lion fish in the TNG ready room, named for one of the show's long-running producers, David Livingston.

When I was deciding which traits to get, my thoughts were the same as yours. I picked the same traits.

All you need to do to level up Piloting skill is have points saved to invest and begin the UC Vanguard questline. Redo the piloting simulator as many times as needed. Only took me 2 times through to finish up my piloting 3.

Dream Home - You get an additional permanent location. This is enough to get the trait. Kid Stuff - Besides the gifts shown in video, your parents do have an intermittent part to play in the game. Adoring Fan - Unironically has the best dialogue of any companion. Your character is already going to be OP, wealthy, and run into a million enemies, rendering all other traits worthless.

ESO ive been subbed to since skyrim never knew what u looked like lol love your guides and looking forward to watching everything u make for starfield

In terms of Traits. Empath is my favorite right now. It is easy to always have the buff up and adds a lot of unique dialogue options.

i thought the look on your parents is based on your own look, but it seems we got the same weird looking dad... anyway...nice video! ❤

Love the vault suit. Gonna start my 3rd character tonight and its very important for exactly the reason you mentioned, neither of my first 2 was what I wanted to use until the end game but was quite fun for some time and I learned a lot from both.

The best 3 skills to pick while customising ur character at the start (at lest for me) is the bounty hunter: boost pack training,piloting and targeting this helps capture ships and the sell them to make credits fast👍

I'm a huge Colt pistols fan and the classic m1911 is also amazing so I'm definitely going to have the kid's stuff trait for every playthrough and am definitely making the pistol my main despite making myself vulnerable by not using the best weapon which is how I play games anyways I think it's going to make combat way more fun and challenging which is always a plus I mean doom is great but roaming the galaxy on my terms while also having a huge disadvantage sounds way more fun than Doom because it's just as difficult yet way more freedom is involved and my free spirit and stubborn mind can't help but devour this kind of content

From hrs of trait and error. My 2nd character start is going to File not found with these added 1. Tera firma because if the skill tree stays the same. You can cancel out the negative effect and only have the buff. 2. Wanted because i got this one. And every once in a while you can get the bounty hunters alfits which are pretty badass. 3. Which you can pick pretty much any of these Extrovert - If you travel with a robot it doesnt count as a human so no negative effects. Empath - Most of my play through I say the right things and most of the time probably 95% your followers will be happy with you unless you roll with the crimson fleet i wouldnt oick this one. Taskmaster - i mean money isnt really hard to get in this game. And you can always get the help for cheaper if you save before you go into dialog. Also use 20% persuasion. So this is goid whdn you get into them close battles and your focused on destroying the enemy and forget to repair your haul. All 3 of these is good. But for a permanent build i would roll with these "IF" you are like me and like ballistic weapons.

Do your parents argue with you if you join the crimson fleet, or do they show up at the Key and like every pirate mocks you for having a loving family

Best starting perks at the start-up to level 10. I suggest going with File Not Found this give 3 of the best perks you will want Wellness: More Health, Ballistics: More Damage with Conventional Firearms, and Piloting allowing you to use Boost in your Ship. The Traits I suggest are Wanted and Taskmaster. This leaves you a free choice. Hero Worship, Dream Home, Kid Stuff, Empath, or Terra Firma. If you are playing a good guy/gal, I go Empath as the bonus from it will be up basically all the time. If you are a Pirate, I suggest Dream Home so you have a location to store Contraband early. Now leveling up. 2. Boost Pack Training 3. Commerce 4. Stealth/Security 5. Stealth/Security 6. Weight Lifting 7. Persuasion 8. Medicine 9. Astrodynamics 10. Fitness Now, from Levels 11-20 11. Ballistics 2 12. Piloting 2 13. Wellness 2 14. Commerce 2 15. Security 2 16. Stealth 2 17. Weight Lifting 2 18. Piloting 3 19. Payload 20. Starship Engineering Levels 21-30 21. Commerce 3 22. Ballistics 3 23. Wellness 3 24. Security 3 25. Weight Lifting 3 26. Payload 2 27. Scavenging 28. Leadership 29. Ballistics 4 30. Wellness 4 Mid to Late Game 31-40 31. Piloting 4 32. Commerce 4 33. Payload 3 34. Stealth 3 35. Weight Lifting 4 36. Now I pick a weapon Type Pistol/Shotgun/Rifle 37. Shealth 4 38. Payload 4 39. Concealment 40. Rejuvenation Grind Period 41-50 Late Game 41. Starship Engineering 2 42. Astrodynamics 2 43. Concealment 2 44. Starship Engineering 3 45. Medicine 2 46. Scavenging 2 47. Leadership 2 48. Persuasion 2 49. Scavenging 3 50. Starship Engineering 4 Preparing for End Game and New Game + 51-60 51. Astrodynamics 3 52. Medicine 3 53. Weapon Engineering 54. Spacesuit Design 55. Weapon type level 2 Pistol/Shotgun/ Rifle 56. Astrodynamics 4 57. Outpost Engineering 58. Weapon Engineering 2 59. Spacesuit Design 2 60. Concealment 3 Endgame/New Game + 61-65 61. Pain Tolerance 62. Weapon Type 3 Pistol/Shotgun/Rifle 63. Concealment 4 64. Weapon Type 4 65. Pain Tolerance 2 In new game plus I focus on Physical a little more becoming a tank and Science so I can build the Spacesuit and Weapons I want to use. The other thing I do is building up my Combat Expert and Master perks. Late Game I pickup a 2nd and 3rd weapon type so I can run Rifles/Shotguns/Pistols.

Long Hauler most dialogue options. I agree that having parents and adoring fan is very funny, not at all annoying. This is if you want a rich experience. I’m starting over as a xenobiologist because I like the whole UC history on xenowarfare and scientist build…maybe explorer

Just gone and ordered myself an Xbox, can't wait to play, this is just the video I needed

You so nailed it on Ballistics. I was honestly shocked how many weapons that skill covers. It is important to know though that lasers affects particle beam weapons (I assume Ballistics also does for the same reason Lasers does) and with the earlier laser weapons being plentiful it's not a terrible choice, since there is a high chance most players end up maining the Big Bang or one of the Va'ruun weapons. That said the various magnetic weapons are amazing if a bit difficult to maintain ammo stocks for so skipping Lasers and ignore particle beam guns can be done if youi manage your ammo...

I think the lose 2% of your max money every week is glitched or has a set limit. I am walking around with 400,000 credits (Plutonium farming ftw) and they still only take 500 every week. I thought i would be losing Thousands of credits every week, but no, it's just 500...Starting to see a Pattern with Bethesda and currency, like the Contracts you are given to kill a Giant or 5 and only be given 100 gold...

But you wasted a trait by picking hero worshipped and telling him you’re a murderer so that he’d never follow you again.

While ballistic weapons might be strong contenders in combat, I have a pretty good argument for energy weapons early on: the Cutter. The mining cutter is a surprisingly good weapon for a while and never runs out of ammo with the only real problem being it's lack of range, but it benefits from _several_ perks (energy weapons, heavy weapons, tool-grip weapons, etc) and the increased damage will even help you save time on mining. It might get out-classed later on, but you'll always have viable energy weapons including a few that benefit from all the same perks as the Cutter.

Solid vid. Been stuck since launch with indecisiveness. Finally ready to dive in.

Playi g as a combat medic has come up wandering planets a few times. Inured npc's have shown up 3 times in my 18 hrs of gameplay, and when talking with medical personell in cities, there has been extra dialog options.

Best traits are Alien dna Extrovert Serpents embrace If you plan on playing on harder difficulties abd Serpents embrace gives you some unique dialogue tbh i think alot of the traits are mid and wanted is very meh

I picked homesteader background bc it’s awesome and for traits I picked alien dna, taskmaster and empath

Just started and picked 2 of the 3 recommendations before I watched this video, so I'm good since I don't really want wanted

Gastronomy and Nutrition as a pair sound pretty intriguing to me...

The dream house is nice to have as a safe house for contra in early game

So which Background gives you the most dialogue options? I read that it was Soldier that gave you most options, followed by Empath.

Kid's Stuff is honestly one of the coolest ideas I've ever seen in a game ❤ I'll be more than happy to pay 2% each week

Vanguard flight training. That’s all you need to level up piloting. It’s part of your initial test. You’re done in five minutes. You don’t even have to do Vanguard after that. Just go up there and you can shoot down five ships in a couple of minutes. Leave the simulator come back do it again. You don’t even have to do the hard levels just do the first five and then quit and then redo it. It takes no time at all.

He said no spoilers, yet so many gameplay spoilers.

Bro. Cracking video. Defo taking the 3 fun traits. Cheers

that custom PC was amazing!!!

I got in with early access, so didn't know what was best, only went with what sounded cool from the preview. I have Hero worshipped, Dream Home and Kid's Stuff. I haven't bought the house yet, or even visited it, so I'm not paying for it at the moment, I'm hoping I can set up an outpost next to it, but haven't looked into that yet.

The dream home is actually really helpful (if you dont want to deal with contraband, you just stop off there first, deposit them in case you chanve your mind later, then pop back to a main city. No need to invest in skill tree or for your ship)

Exactly how much higher are the bounties for the faction traits? Does a 500 credit bounty become 750, 1000, or 5000 credits?

one point it the medicine skill opens up a new dialogue option in several interactions as well, even making at least one mission a lot easier.

didnt even select traits completely missed it when making a character, now trying to figure out if i should start over or not

Many traits can actually be changed inside the game. At temples, at doctors.

Thanks dude, guess I messed my first playthrough up

is it possible to get the wanted trait even if you didn't pick it.

Persuasion and the new game plus dialog option became OP lol. Especially after new game plus lol.

Thanks Danny, PLEASE CONTINUE BG3 playthrough 💛

Thank you, I had to restart the game on my own console ! I was only 20 hours in on my friends LOL

Lmao you literally listed all 3 traits I picked, I truly believe they add the most flavor to the game over the other buff traits when I was first picking them. Already had a few interesting interactions with the bounty hunters and I find the comments from my fan kinda funny. As for the perk choices I agree with each one tho I will say as a stealth player the stealth perk doesnt get good until the 3rd lvl of it but the damage boost is worth the investment for me at least.

im not kidding Danny. i NEED the Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough videos

I love "Wanted", it gives me more space combat vs harder enemies

Great video as always! Thank you.

You actually can't fully recreate your character's appearance at Enhance. It turns out the sliders are heavily dependant upon your chosen preset. People are starting to find that out that hard way by looking at sliders online from other players.

I've been given the option to remove my neon street rat perk at Madam Savauge's place in Neon but I didn't do it. She said she could give me a clean slate and start over.

ESO must be secretly royalty, with the Kings voice and gold trim shirt he can't hide the fact he's not wearing his 👑.

😂 every skill u said was the best I already had invested into. Boostpack, scanner (i regret that 1 lame pos thought it did more), Piloting, Ballistics, Commerce, Sneak, Weightlifting, pickpocket cause easy money & ammo, security, starship design im positive im forgetting something but Weightlifting is essential for everyone 1st level up may need to be that on a new character. 1st playthrough dont even worry about settlement building cause thats just not fun & awkward with some things. Like u cant have your landing pad attached to the habitat you may use to sleep in. So u gotta run down 397 stairs to get to your outpost which could also be elevated 😂 thats another 350 steps. Im on this beach front property & furious af about that.

I actually found that if you talk to representatives of the religious factions (or at least I’m extrapolating) that you can get rid of some traits. I only know that it works for a fact though for the Introvert trait. When I talked to the Enlightenment NPC in the well, you can go through a dialogue that has you saying “you want to be able to be around people more” and whatnot, and at the end you can choose to have the trait removed. No clue if that means you can get certain traits added via other npcs as well, but really cool nonetheless. So traits actually are changeable after picking them. I just don’t know which one’s and to what extent

I went for completely evil build, wanted, street rat and serpent

Still can’t get over this game! 10/10 even with bugs lol

Awesome, those are the 3 traits that I picked.

ESO YOUR THAT GUY PAL! YOUR THAT GUY!❤🎉

started playing again.. can't wait for the official mod kit. (tempted to try some existing mods, but i know they will break and more likely to cause issues) just wanted to say Wanted is by far the best trait, BY FAR.. bounty hunters AND bounty defenders show up, the defenders will actually help you, so really you could just shoot each bounty hunter once or twice and get all the rewards.. PLUS you can attack the bounty defenders after as well if you want to, but you need to be quick. Serpent's Embrace is great, it is a hp and oxygen buff 99% of the time, the only time it wears off is if you sleep somewhere for more then 4 hours (UT) really, then once you go to a different system it's back.. and i believe there is no downside to it, despite what the description says. Alien DNA is great early on, 25 extra health and oxygen at level 1 is very helpful, and a bit extra every level... and the only real downside is the healing item works slightly less.. first rank of medic and the penalty is cancelled. IF the dream home had an unlimited storage like the lodge does then it would be worth it at least early on.. otherwise, housing seems useless, i actually forgot all about getting houses.

You also keep anything that you have researched at the research workstation.

So kids stuff is great the first time through, but is it worth having for new game plus and doing a second time? I personally like the Dream home. Basically have infinite storage from the beginning. Just land, run inside, drop stuff on ground, and leave. Much easier than traveling to lodge to your room or dropinng everything in space ship. Theres pros and cons of every trait when it comes to new game plus, except maybe faction ones.

My number 1 trait I use that is buffwise and unique dialogue is serpents embrace most people think it's useless but the amount of time you'll be grav jumping and fast traveling between systems it's always up also you can get a pretty decent varuun set during the main quest if you use the serpents embrace dialog as well as sometimes talk to varuun zealots

The Alien DNA perk can actually be changed within the game once you start playing but I won't spoil it and say how

My main save file is a Neon Street Rat because it sounded cyberpunky. I thought their extra dialog would be more akin to 2077's Street Kid or something but most of it is just variations "yeah Neon sucks and I hated it here". That's... not what I wanted :/

ESO I would love to see your take on a stealth build. I have been playing since early release on a older PC running a Nvidia 1060 GPU, and loving the game as a stealth sniper and am looking forward to later tonight when I should have my new PC running with a NVIDIA 4060 GPU.

thanks eso

Honestly I hope they don't do this new game plus thing the way they did it ever again in a future game. I was so disappointed that all my hard work with ships and outposts were just left behind. I know we have a choice not to go through with the NG+ stuff, but the game makes you feel like you are a coward and a wimp for not doing it (How my companions felt about me not wanting to go through) and the rewards that you can only get from doing NG+ are cool enough for you too feel all sorts of conflicted. They should have just done NG+ like how the Witcher 3 does NG+ (if you want to you can, but there is no story reason or completion reason to do so).....Anyway, I am enjoying the game overall. I am a little disappointed with some things because Bethesda kinda gave us some expectations that weren't true but said it in a way so that they weren't lying. Really just waiting on Elder Scrolls 6, and hoping they just stay true to their roots with that one.

People are missing one thing that carries over in new game plus, your crafting unlocks.

im about to start my adventure and my first point is going in the ballistic for guns then put one into melee when im up close because my girl will be a short shit for take downs i will put a point in for the jet pack but when i get a pack fine otherwise its a waist to put a point in it early when you dont have a pack and dont know where to get one obviously

hard pass on hero whorship

Alts, my friend. Been doing it since Skyrim and before that, MMOs.

Thanks for all this cool info, will try it out for sure

I would seriously die for that computerrrrrrrr

The adoring fans voice is Cicero from Skyrim btw

Great video. Your hair is spectacular, my friend

THOSE ARE ALL THE TRAITS I GOT YAY

I made the character I wanted for my personal lore of my character. Terrible set up but best for for lore. Gangster background, Traits: neon street rat, wanted, hero worshipped. My guy has a criminal background and means to build a galactic crime syndicate. The first two traits fit that, and hero worshipped has no cons. With wanted I figured by boosting the amount of encounters I boost the gear and ships I come across. Gangster comes with shotgun, pick pocket and bare handed. Sure there are more strategic builds but I like my guy and playing to support my lore. I plan on putting in 200 hours and know I’ll have all the skills max.

You also remove many of the selected traits. I know you can remove serpents embrace, alien dna, kid stuff, hero worship, wanted and more. Most likely all are able to be removed during game play but those are the ones I know for certain can be because I have seen it myself while playing
