In the final moments of the Starfield playthrough, the protagonist and their team face off against various enemies and activate a powerful artifact that transports them to the unity. They must now decide whether to become “starborn” and enter the unity, potentially changing the fate of their universe, or return to their own universe and face an uncertain future.
In the final moments of the playthrough, the protagonist and their team find themselves in the temple where the final artifact is located. They encounter various enemies, including starborn, mercenaries, and machines, but eventually defeat them all. The protagonist activates the artifact, causing a shift in space and time that transports them to the unity.
Upon reaching the unity, the team reflects on their journey and contemplates the unknown future that awaits them. Each member of the team expresses their thoughts and emotions, some choosing to remain in their current universe and others preparing to embrace the unity.
The leader of the team, the Emissary, reveals that entering the unity requires sacrificing a part of oneself to become “starborn.” The protagonist is presented with a choice - to enter the unity and become starborn or to turn away and return to their own universe. The Emissary hints that the universe they leave behind will be forever changed by their actions.
As the protagonist contemplates their decision, they are provided glimpses of the potential outcomes of staying or leaving. The constellation, the team’s organization, publishes their findings and fosters cooperation between factions. The resurrection of the aelis species leads to a reduction in attacks, and the UC becomes a respected diplomatic leader. Meanwhile, in the new universe, the protagonist’s choices and destiny remain uncertain.
Ultimately, the protagonist is left with the weight of the decision - to step into the unknown and become starborn or to return to their familiar universe. The fate of their universe and their own personal journey is left hanging in the balance.
