After a year of mining screenshots and details from last summer's Starfield gameplay reveal, we finally have a motherlode of new footage to pore over while we wait for that September 6 launch date to roll around. Of course, we've already highlighted plenty of the major gameplay elements we learned about Starfield from the presentation, but now that the space dust has settled it's time to really dig really deep. I've scoured the Direct for the nerdiest stuff you might have missed on your first (or 40th) watch. We're talking specific sandwich recipes, perk minutia, and the hunt for some guy's mysterious beans.
I spent longer than I care to admit going through frame-by-frame—nominally to sift out new details about Starfield factions and what we know about Starfield cities—but in reality just getting distracted by sticky notes and environmental clues. My respect to whoever spotted the "rage quit" cockpit button. They get it. And isn't that the true spirit of a Bethesda RPG? Just three days after Starfield Direct I've fully abandoned the plot and gone off to obsessively collect secrets and goodies.
