Bethesda Game Studios' Starfield is a science-fiction RPG that was released on Xbox Series X/S and PC and takes players on a journey across the universe.

Your first step into the game might feel a bit overwhelming as you go from being a humble miner to working with a dedicated group of people who plan to explore space to uncover the true origins of a mysterious artifact.

On top of that, the game's galaxy is vast and there are a variety of routes for you to choose from. But these tips and tricks will help any player get their bearings and make their stellar adventure in Starfield much easier.

Plan Out Your Skills

Starfield features a variety of different Skill Trees that players can choose from to gain a range of benefits and boosts.

From the get-go, you should take a look at all of them, decide what you want to be, and focus on getting to that point in the future as you accumulate points, according to Eurogamer.

Always be on Guard After Grav-Jumping

Grav-Jumping, which is a form of fast travel in the Starfield universe, may save you some time when trying to get from one point to another even if they are far apart.

However, you should always be aware when coming out because there might be a battle on the side waiting for you.

Unlock the Targeting Control Systems Skill

This particular skill is very useful as it can help you during spaceship combat by allowing you to directly target an enemy ship's systems when you lock onto it.

This means that the skill not only improves your aim but also assists you in boarding and taking over other ships by targeting their defenses.

Save Constantly

As you travel across the universe, Starfield may sometimes put you in a situation that is a little bit too much if you come unprepared. That is why constantly saving your game helps you have a backup if you get caught with your guard down, said Kotaku.

Loot Everything

Something that most players will know is that looting never hurts anyone, well, not you anyway. This is also true for Starfield as whatever item you scavenge from drops or other areas can be given to Vasco, your robot partner.

Similar to other Bethesda games, companions in Starfield are considered pack mules that can trade with you.

Persuasion Can be Useful

While many people will most likely choose to fight it out when confronted with a choice, Starfield gives players the option to invest in the Persuasion starting skill.

However, being a smooth talker in this game can sometimes be more useful than having a powerful weapon, according to CNN.
