As most of you probably know at this stage, Starfield is officially live on Xbox and PC in early access form, and we're starting to see lots of impressions, gameplay footage and crazy clips hit the web. Starfield's main quest may well be the core focus for lots of players right now, but, that isn't stopping some folk from straying from the beaten path to cause sheer chaos amongst the stars.
After a little bit of browsing the trending section of Twitter, we've already come across some players who are making it their sole aim to be a pure menace in Starfield. Spoiler alert: it goes without saying that if you'd rather not see any gameplay footage right now, you might want to look away.
If you are keen to see what's happening out there in Starfield, below are just a few of the crazy clips we've spotted so far - including a couple of players who are making some seriously explosive introductions.
Oh, and there's this guy who's decided that the city of New Atlantis should be turned into one giant shooting range, regardless of the consequences:
It sure looks like Starfield is providing that usual Bethesda Game Studios sense of player freedom, and fans are already amusing themselves with what's possible in this massive RPG. We must admit, the explosive barrel technique looks like a great way of making enemies right from the off!

Usually I play such games as a good guy. But causing havoc once in a while is a good way to relax and take a break from all the good deeds
Haha this is exactly why i love this type of game. Just play it however the way you want to play it. The total freedom of things also gives it a high replayability. Awesome
Sounds similar to how Tod Howard explained his experience one time. He boarded an enemy ship that randomly landed, and whilst involved in a gun fight onboard, the ship took off 🤣 He never really said what happened next... SO! what happens to the ship once you've killed everyone and your still onboard? 🤷♂️
I don’t like how you can shoot in towns and the crowds don’t react which makes the game seem low budget … crowd reaction from acting violent has been in many gta games for decades… even assassin creed games has it
I talked my way out of the first one, but already have lung & afflictions (out of breath in no time = dislike that part). A lot of realism effecting your character, like frostbite, joint pain, lung damage, concussion, ...
I like the shooting part and choice between, 1st person, 3rd person or over the shoulder look (no shoulder switching possible). Music is top-notch imo.
Edit: and use Quicksave regularly!
@TheSimulator yeah I was just wondering why the civilians were running towards the shooter, and some running from behind right into the path of the bullets!!
@RetroMan71 I guess it's yours then.
@docLEXfisti Just thinking out loud really, but if you leave your ship behind, board another ship that takes off, does your original ship stay where it is?
@RetroMan71 I'd love to know, still waiting for my Constellation Edition
@Pusher2021 my character has lung damage , the suit I got wasn't as gd as I thought, if I make it back I'm gonna shoot the seller
@docLEXfisti Hope it arrives for you soon 👍
@Martsmall LOL!! That's not funny but funny at the same time 🤣
@Martsmall Lol, I haven't met a seller yet, I was just exploring as much as I could but there are so many hazards to keep an eye on.
I'm on New Atlantis and have severe lung damage. Also, it doesn't help to horde stuff along the way (running capabilities). My ship is a mess. I can sell all of that junk, right? I'm just winging it
Is this an MMO?
Are they killing other players?
Can Players be killed by other Players?
Is there a third-person mode?
@Pusher2021 yeh u can sell it ,I'm forever being told off for picking up junk ,OK so maybe the empty beer bottles and the food trays were a bit overboard but u never know if I will need em later lol
@Spider-Kev no its single player game just killing npcs , you can choose which view 3rd or first
@Martsmall
thanks
@Martsmall That's why I left half of my ammo and all junk on the ship. Moving is a lot more fun but the ammo goes a lot faster than I thought. Went back to the ship to get some but the other half of my ammo was gone? Was hoping Vasco had it but no.
That's what separates a Bethesda RPG from a LOT of games. This is a 'true' Role Playing Game where you can create your 'own' character, their background etc and play whatever 'Role' you want to play in that universe/setting.
The Witcher, Horizon, Assassins Creed etc have 'defined' characters that have defined history and you play 'their' story - albeit with some 'freedom' to choose the 'playstyle' and/or order you do things, but ultimately, you really need to follow the main story through the game.
With this, like Fallout or Elder Scrolls, you can branch off from following the 'main' story, never bother finishing that 'plot-line', and go off and be a Space Pirate, a Smuggler, create bases, explore 'every' possible planet, join factions - be a 'hero' or be the villain.
Point is - its a 'true' Role Playing game and lets the 'player' decide who they 'want' (or their character) to be in that universe/setting. You don't have to be a 'pre-defined' character - like Geralt, Aloy etc - play their story. Not saying there is anything wrong with that, but this is what Role Playing should offer - a choice to play the Character you want, the way you want and be who you want in that universe.
There are quite a lot of unlikeable NPCs in the game so I love that this is an option - as it always was for Fargoth, Count of Bravil and his Skooma addict son, Delphine, etc.
