In this video transcription, the speaker provides an overview of the skills in the upcoming game Starfield. They start by discussing the physical skills, such as fitness, stealth, and weightlifting. They explain that while some skills may seem useful, like stealth, the game’s mechanics make them less effective. They also mention that there is no way to reset or change skills in the game, except through mods. The speaker advises carefully considering skill choices.
Moving onto social skills, the speaker discusses skills related to interacting with NPCs, such as commerce, persuasion, and pickpocketing. They point out that some skills, like commerce, are not worth investing in due to the high cost and minimal benefits. The speaker recommends focusing on skills like Scavenging, which can provide better loot, and Thief, which allows for pickpocketing.
The speaker then turns to combat skills, such as ballistics, dueling, and energy weapons. They highlight that some skills, like shotgun certification, may be useful early on but become less effective as the game progresses. They mention that it’s important to prioritize skills that unlock abilities before investing in skill upgrades.
Next, the speaker discusses science-related skills, including aerodynamics, geology, and medicine. They caution against spending too many skill points in areas like geology, as it may be easier to buy the necessary materials for crafting. The speaker emphasizes the usefulness of medicine for combat and gameplay overall.
Lastly, the speaker covers technology-related skills, such as weapon engineering, targeting control, and piloting. They suggest focusing on skills that unlock abilities first, like boost pack training, targeting systems, and pickpocketing. The speaker also notes the annoyance of having to unlock basic abilities, like using a jetpack, through skill points.
Overall, the speaker recommends considering skills in science and technology, followed by social skills and combat skills. They advise against wasting skill points on certain skills and suggest investing in ones that provide useful abilities or bonuses.
