In this video guide for Starfield, the focus is on exploration. The exploration in Starfield is divided into two sections: space-based exploration and planetary surface exploration. The game world in Starfield is massive, with 100 star systems and over 1,000 planets to visit.

Interacting with NPCs on the planet may result in missions or questlines.
When it comes to character traits and perks, the choices made at the start of the game can influence the player’s exploration experience. Backgrounds like Explorer or Soldier can be beneficial, and perks such as Weightlifting and Fitness can improve carrying capacity and endurance. Choosing traits like Spaced or Terra Firma affects oxygen and health bonuses based on location. Traits like Extrovert and Introvert can provide buffs depending on whether players take companions or explore alone. Additionally, players can select the Alien DNA trait for extra oxygen and health.
Overall, the video guide provides tips and insights into the different aspects of exploration in Starfield, covering both space-based and planetary surface exploration. Players are encouraged to fully explore and scan planets to discover resources, traders, and encounter various encounters and missions.
