Looking at your ships cockpit, your ship sucks. I got the Star Eagle early on in the game by becoming a Free Star Ranger and completing the missions. The Star Eagle may not be the best ship in the game, but it can be given to you early in the game, and it can be upgraded as you Add skill points to the right skills. But anyone at level 26 that doesn't have the Star Eagle is a sitting duck against other ships. The Shields are over 800!! You also increase shields by adding skill points to increase them. The Cargo capacity is over 2200. Add skill points to Starship Engineering and you can upgrade the Grave Drive, Reactor, fuel capacity, etc.. The Star Eagle, as it comes from the Star Rangers is WAY more powerful than the ship you used to fight the Starborn.
There's a secret ending that if you completed all your tasks and refuse both Hunter and Emissary, you continue to walk into the unity and it cuts to black. And your character wakes up in a carriage and you see a blond guy in bounds ane he tells you "hey, you. You're finally awake."
yup, and never in the whole game did any of the bartenders say... "Hey! We don't serve miners here! Get out or we'll be raided by the cops!" because 'this guy' is just too damn badass and intimidating! ;>
When i started exploring antlantis for the first time the hunter was in the bar to the left and i talked to him not knowing hed be part of the main story
I encountered him walking between the Spaceport landing àrea and The Viewport in my current playthrough, but before I went through the Unity. We had an interesting conversation. I tried to talk to him after going through it, but he didn't respond to me.
Apparently doing multiple NG+ alters your armor time after time, with the 10th playthrough essentially making you The Hunter. Also, there are apparently permutations that alter Constellation.
So is it just the constellation group that changes every ng+, or are their more random events outside of it that change with the other factions? Also if we prefer one version of the armor over another can you get that version back or buy it somewhere? (Or is it a skin option?)
The coolest factor of these endings is that when you become a Starborn, you truly become no better than The Hunter. Because the whole premise of NG+ is to play the game through a different lens, doing other quests, making more evil decisions, etc. So after NG+ 10 when you obtain The Hunters armor.. it makes so much sense.
not only that, but the ONLY benefit to ng+ aside from getting more levels, is that you can only get 24 Powers/Upgrades PER LOOP, so you literally become the hunter by entering new universes and getting stronger Starborn powers. pretty trippy tbh
Most of my playthroughs wil be good one time i wil side with the crimson Fleetwood and the Hunter for the rest i wil very between beeing nice and more of a neutral mercenary depending on the mood
if you complete main storyline quest and all factions questlines, there are even more events shown inside unity (than the 2 shown on this video) - so, dont rush to get there!
@@JrLibrarian-m4n Actually Mass Effect did the same thing, the Synthesis ending is similar to All-star. Hero “dies” becoming pure energy and lighting a massive explosion that saves everyone. “You have given them an ideal to aspire to, embodied their highest aspirations. They will race, and stumble, and fall and crawl....and curse....and finally.... They will join you in the sun, Kal-El. They will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time you will help them accomplish wonders.”
This is literally a nod to not only New Game +, but the people who play Bethesda RPGs in general. The protagonist is literally you, in an alternate universe 300 years in the future where humanity has spread throughout the stars. Have you become a ruthless pirate who won’t think twice about killing innocent civilians to get what you want, or are you a movie hero fighting to make this universe a better place? Do you see the artifacts as a “game”, where whoever collects them all and ascends first wins, or do you feel like the Creators had intended for the Starborn to become keepers who help humanity find their way?
Props to Bethesda for actually making a lore reason for our character’s ability to teleport at random anywhere You’re a starborn, just go wherever you feel
@@oROBBIEo Wrong. Oblivion let you travel to the major cities of Cyrodiil even if you didn't discover them yet. Weynon Priory was also able to be fast travelled to without discovery.
Well to be fair, Skyrim and Fallout would pass the amount of in-game time it'd take to travel that far so it was more... simulating the walk rather than teleporting lol
The thing is the 'what you accomplished' shown at the unity won't change with additional faction quests completed. What also sucks is there's so little content to keep playing, so if our character decides to become starborn they are basically in a ground hog day crazy loop where you relive the same few months over and over.
The ship only goes to level 6 and the armor goes to 10. Armor is definitely worth it but my custom ship in my first play through was far superior to the level 6 starborn ship and it only costed a few hundred K
I just finished this today, amazing game. I kinda wish there was a secret path you could take to not become Starborn and stay behind with whoever you romanced, would have been cool to have the option. Kinda a sad ending that everyone forgets the past except for you and you gotta leave everyone in your OG universe behind lol
Sarah was talking about our wedding ceremony right before I went into the Unity. I went back to Constellation and I was a stranger to her, it was like the end of No Way Home 💔
Your spouse can follow you. In my original universe I took Sarah with me and my other me even told me Sarah also became a Starborn. But you don't end up in the same universe.
I honestly really like how this story ended, reminds me a lot of the ending to No Man's Sky; you follow the path of the ancient force to find some answers to the galaxy and in the end you find yourself in a whole new galaxy, leaving behind everything you built there to start all over, except in starfield the consequences of your actions are a lot stronger and weigh on you more, Bethesda nailed it with this ending, felt a lot of feelings throughout the ending.
I got depressed when andreja who i romanced started talking abt if we would recognized each other after going into the unity. The emotion and way they talk just gets to me. Like there are some things to think abt irl? Stay with the people u love and everything u worked for or leave everything behind
I finished the main story the other day. Funny enough I found myself starting to become more like the Hunter as I passed through each NG+ to get the armor and new ship upgrades. Not to mention more power. Became rude and hostile in conversations with NPCs and killed to get what I wanted. Just to get more power. Pretty interesting. I really love how Bethesda added NG+ to the story rather than just starting the game again like other NG+. One thing I would of liked to see is for the Artifacts to be in other places around the game world. Like in peoples private collections or maybe onboard a space ship and so on. Shooting my way through Neon or something would of been fun. More verity of changes would of been nice too. Like maybe Vlad was in charge of the Pirates or Sarah never left the military stuff like that. It would of been a lot of work for Bethesda but that would of been cool.
I just finished the game today. One thing I'd've LOVED to be part of NG+? A chance to redo certain character aspects. Imagine not choosing a trait you didn't like, or adding one you're curious about. (In my case, I'd want the dream house trait. I blew A LOT of money on Neon's Sky Suite, and I doubt I'll ever buy THAT thing again. Meanwhile I've heard the Dream House is cheaper, AND better!)
Man, the Kid Stuff trait with your parents gets really rough with the dialogue that you can say with Starborn after being reborn. Very emotional moment.
@@bismarck4872I was also about to bring up Kid Stuff but I haven't reached NG+ yet and I was fully expecting my parents to no longer exist in a different universe? Like, if this world is different then maybe they're dead or we never got along or they gave us up for adoption or something in this other universes... idk how I feel about them still being there on NG+ but I'm excited to see it regardless
Yeah, I might give up adoring fan as that gets old. Or give up wanted, but that can be useful. I wanted the dream house but someone said you can build a better house. I never had the patience to do that.
@tomm1109 Honestly, Dream House is pretty cool, but the apartment you get for free for finishing the terrormorph quest line is pretty close to it. Dream Home costs $125,000, or you can rent it for a week for $500 until you get the $125,000. Is it worth starting a fresh game over starting a new game through NG+? Probably not, but it depends on if you are ok with regrinding your skills and challenges again.
09:42 Not really. What you (your character) sees in this space before the Unity is based on all your life choices. If you did not rush the main quest but play the whole game you'll see some more little scenes there.
Here is a thought I had. The Unity is actually an Eldritch horror outside of space-time and use's the artifacts to bring people to it and if they accept it eats a part of their soul in exchange for power. So each time a Starborn goes through the Unity the more of their soul and humanity is lost. I have my own term for this kind of entity, Soul-Amalgam. In one way or another two or more souls get combined/merged/eaten, etc. Needless to say these things are not mentally stable but they all have one thing in common... they want more souls so they can grow. I hope you enjoy the nightmare fuel I have left you with.
I debated walking away, but in the end, when I stopped thinking, I went through. I didn't know you could essentially come back at any time. So honestly it seems to me the devs basically set it u that the point is to go through the unity one way or the other, sooner or later. I don't regret it, I was ok leaving everything behind from that universe, even though I spent 100 hours in it, had a nice ship, outpost, etc.
@@christiangibson2733 They did it to keep the option open in case the player changes their mind and isn't soft locked out of the unity. I agree that they should've made walking away it's own ending but i get why they kept the option open just in case.
Idk why but I had a hilarious thought, imagine Bethesda does the ending where you as a starborn travel into the elder scroll universe and you start the elder scrolls 6 LOOL
I really wanted to marry Sarah, but instead I didn't think properly and went into the unity, when I came back to the lodge as a starborn, obviously she didn't recognized me and sincerely, even if it's just a game, that kind of hurted me a bit
@@Janice_19 You keep all the skills, level, and research you've done. The only thing that resets is your credits which are easy to get, your weapons which are also easy to get, and you start off with good armor and a good ship. Kinda the whole point of the game is to reset multiple times.
I think you can go against them at the beginning and then in the final battle at the buried temple you can convince them to give up without a fight so that universe gets a neutral ending where you all live. Pretty sure it’s way harder to convince both of them than just one tho and the hunter is overall harder to convince than the emissary either way
Id like to think that your character splits, part stays behind and carries on (that part that fuses with the universe) and part of you moves on (the part that leaves the universe forever) so really you dont leave your universe, only your conscious splits and you just play through the perspective of the part that moved on
they should have added a ending when you return, kinda something about you letting the unity open or something, or endings like in the dlc for fallout 3 where you send a companion to be starborn
Bruh I did a NG+3 today and when I went to the lodge a evil version of me betrayed and killed all the constellation members and Sarah thought it was me and when I tried to explain to her it wasn’t me the evil version of me shot her but before he did Sarah asked me what was going through my mind as I chocked Barrett to death and then boom evil version kills her and replies to me * what was going through my mind was him finally not talking anymore*
😂😂😂 I was on ng+5 and I wanted to make it my last one but Cora was evil killed all the consolation members I was passed lol I had to do another ng+ don't get me wrong the ng+ is awesome but for me doing it 10x is just to much 6 is my final one for me I just wanna explore and create my life here😊
@@bennycostello2472it doesn’t change for EVERY new game but every time you go through the unity it has a CHANCE of giving you one of those weird universes. I think there’s 10 special/unique ones
I wish there was an ending that didn't feel so unsatisfying, abandoning your whole life and all of your loved ones for the pursuit of power.... Poopy ending in my opinion, where's the cutesy moment me and my crew reunite as thousand year old star born like the hunter and the emissary. it seems odd from writing point of view anyways. If you romance Sarah and save her she'll tell you she fears entering the unity because we might never see each other again only for that to be confirmed by the emissary lady, then suddenly later on she 180's and basically says nah one of us will eventually lets just do it.... Like I was all for settling down on a quaint little planet and having little homesteading farmer babies but hey.... Endless search for power and understanding it is I guess.... I feel like a lot of this would’ve been rectified by simply making the walk away option an ending itself, with its own achievement. If you really wanted to excel in your RPG making abilities you might even have romance options have a custom voice line where they explain how they chose not to enter as well, missed opportunity….
100% agree. I couldn’t explain it better. I absolutely despise the ending. It’s like, if you watch Star Wars, joining the dark side in the pursuit of power.
Game is a game at the end of the day. None of these characters matter, it’s all pixels. So might as well get more out of the game that you paid for. That’s just me though.
@@W0KUZ3PH That's fine if that's why you bought it, that's not really what RPG's are made for though. They're meant to tell a story, when they tell a mediocre story I'm not going to be very satisfied as that's why I bought it; and believe me I did get plenty of fun from the side quests, I just felt more disappointed than usual with this story compared to other Bethesda games.
I was hoping killing the Hunter had more importance for the fact that he killed your friend, after you take revenge no one mentions it if you decide to come back. All you get is a dialogue of the people saying heyy you are back 😮
I really do not like the ending. It forces you to “ascend” so to speak. Also your lover essentially says that no matter what, both of you will eventually leave. I find that stupid. I think that you should be able to totally reject the idea of leaving all your friends and universe behind, while also having a middle ground and really loving the unity. You should also be able to just leave the Unity and have it give you the choice of completing the main story there. I don’t know, man. Also we kind of learn to despise the Starborn because they are a massive antagonist, yet we are basically forced to join their cause… What could make it better is that you could get emotional at times when you talk to your friends I guess. Also, what the hell is the story add-on going to be about?? I sure hope it allows you to return to your old universe. Tell me what y’all think, I thought it was kind of cool at first, but once I realized you couldn’t return, I hated the idea of it completely. By the way, I REALLY like Starfield, I didn’t have amazing expectations, but whatever they once were, they have been surpassed. This is the only game that has made me motivated to 100% complete. Unfortunately that requires ascending a ton.
Not sure if you fully listened to your character speaking to you, but they say you can turn around and leave the unity. You DONT have to be Starborn. If you don't enter the portal, neither will your companions. So just turn around and walk into the void. Boom back to original universe.
You can leave the unity, just walk away instead of walking into it and they didn’t make the story end after walking away so that you can come back and aren’t locked out just cause you didn’t fully commit the first time, especially since you go to it the first time not knowing exactly what will happen so after learning you can’t come back to that universe people might want to walk away and keep exploring it or finish up some quest lines before fully moving on
The part priorto where you pick a side has you go to a NASA launch site on earth. You find out that they were messing with one of the artifacts there which was used to create the first grav drive. However in doing so ruined the magnetosphere and giving earth about 50 years left until the atmosphere would dissipate. Humans themselves created a way to explore the cosmos in real time at the cost of our home planet.
Yes. Much like the Great Serpent and the Va'hrunn. Except it spun out of control. "Hey bro, you need to gather everyone to get into Unity. Anybody that doesn't will get left behind." "Got it. Everyone who doesn't join is going against me, and something is going to eat the world when they don't, except for us" As the Starborn fades out he is going "Noooooooooooo!"
I hate how she says theres something familiar about you and thats it nothing else, we dont even get the option to mention anything about our time together.
the entire time i played, i was looking forward to the moment when aliens inevitably made themselves known and i was so surprised at the first encounter with Helix after buying the artifact in Neon that the thought of them being anything *other than aliens* didn't really occur to me. i jus finished the game today and realized that, even after getting the full story, these "Starborn" could very easily jus be regular human beings and there quite possibly isn't any sentient alien life afterall or at the very least, there's life even more powerful than the Hunter or Emissary. it only occurred to me whenever i did that one mission that makes you board their ship to talk with them that they could easily jus be projecting the appearance of people we know as a way of manipulating us into trusting them to do their bidding
Starting a new game plus never normally feels so harrowing, your choices in that first and subsequent playthroughs start to feel more and more insignificant. I hope we get some answers as to how the unity is possible and who is responsible for the artifacts etc.
That's why when you get to new game 10 you get the hunter armor. You realize nothing matters if there's infinite universes of the same people, knowing this, your primary goal is to enter new universes and gain power, growing cynical and uncaring of the people and relationships, just like the hunter.
Oh we will get answers. At one point the hunter says "whoever created the artifact is playing a game on us" which makes it clear that even the starborn have no clue where the artifacts came from or how the unity is even possible, or who created the whole system in the first place. Maybe the shattered space dlc will answer that.
Here’s a tip.. manual save in the unity, grab your achievement/trophy then reload your last save and continue your progress.. or just reload* your latest save
Yeah I learned that the hard way, I did a quick save thinking it’d do a Skyrim and just add another save one, but sadly that’s not the case, almost 30+ hours gone because of saving and my goofy ass
I think the good ending is you not siding with the hunter the first time, coming back and then not siding with either and returning back to your instance . This way you stay, grow and live a normal life and your insurance will never have starborns attack it. And life will go on. Mind you, Sarah chooses to stay as well
I have a question: i just beat the game, sided with the hunter and talked to all of the constellation members before becoming starborn. The 3 main ones, being Sarah, Barrett and Andreja all said they were eager to go to the Unity and become starborn. Is it possible to meet them as starborn in the newgame plus? Or have they simply “reset” back to their normal selves? Im eager to know, as I want to do constellations quests if I meet them again as starborns, But if I dont, I will just do other quests instead
Seems not but it is possible. All things and outcomes are possible due to the infinite multiverse. Rp aside its crazy how the game changes and the amount of replay ability every ng+.
Luckily I went back to say bye to Andreja. I didn’t even know I was at the end of the game. Such a weird and disappointing campaign just fetching artifacts ☹️ Anyway, on to Alan Wake 2.
@@plus_sign that's because you're not hearing millions of cry baby sony pony fans telling you to hate starfield. You have to over come their illusion magic against you. Then you can enjoy starfield.
Everyone forgets this is NG+. You are rssentially restarting the game, Bethesda just gave you a better reason to do it and a sense of continuity. The real ending is having found everything and the answers
the timecode scripts are misleading its not necessarily 'bad' to side with the hunter, nor is it really the 'true' ending to do it 'alone'(i had crew on my ship that should also be starborn but i digress), its a choice, tehre are no bad endings, it is just THE 'ending'
Wait, the Emissary can be Sam Coe? I thought it was either Morgan or Barrett depending on whether you went to the space station when the Hunter attacked.
It can be Sam, Sarah, Barrett or Andreja, it’s decided by whoever dies in that universe when the hunter attacks and who dies is decided by your affinity with them and whether you go to the eye or stay at the lodge. Your highest affinity character is injured on the eye and you can save them by leaving the lodge however your second highest affinity character will die at the lodge if you do. The only way to save them all is in a new universe where you have prior knowledge of the hunters attack and the hunter will even commend you for stopping his attack before it even happens however if you let him attack the lodge and do enough damage to him in the process he’ll actually give you his gun as a reward for fighting well but you can get his gun from killing him at the end and it’s pretty trash anyway. The emissaries gun is way better and you can get that the same way at the end. Also the emissary will drop his armor but the hunter won’t so killing the emissary is both the only way to get starborn armor without new game plus and it’s the only way to get a second starborn armor for a companion after getting yours from going through the unity
depending on if you are currently in a standard or rare universe and combined with what other non main quest items you do there is roughly 10ish major decisions in each playthrough times ten playthroughs so thechnically there is near 100 different endings... yes they are largely grouped into those three over arching choices ,however you are truly missing the subtle undertones of the story as a whole calling them good,bad,true i believe that most players will miss what the devs were attempting to convey with this game because it takes an incredible amount of work to really grasp it how they intended and everyone on youtube is rushing to get videos out while it is a hot topic, and that is just sad
I just finished it and basically you just restart with a starborn space suit and ship. Low-key cool but sadly you have to restart all relationships and so forth.
Personally I enjoyed the faction missions and side missions more than the main story, so my question is: If I start an NG+ do I need to repeat the faction and side missions again?
Yup. You lose everything but your level, unlocked powers, and whatever skills from magazines but not the actual magazine (you can collect them again but the skills may be different), and all faction progress. So if you had done all the freeside ranger quest to get the ship you gotta do it again.
"never gotten this far before". That makes no sense when you are greeted with another version of yourself in the starfield. At least 1 of you must've entered the unity.
Im level 20.......The Hunter RANDOMLY jumped out of a garden beside "The View Port" when i was running back to my ship last night in New Atlantis, scared the $#@+ out of me!!! I was able to talk to him until he just walked away and said he was waiting for something. Then when i was fighting some Ecliptics and a Terrormorph about 20 minutes later I suddenly had greenish smoke around my character, vision was in and out of focus like a concussion grenade had been used on me and was hearing kids and people screaming and crying saying stuff like "he's ciming to get us" "we're all going to die" "this is the end its all over"....was so weird!! It all stopped when I killed the Terrormorph and when I inspected it it had its normal black skin but with purple markings all over it.
in my first playthrough, I didn't side with either, then persuaded both of them to just piss off without a final battle. I only had the first perk for persuasion. Couldn't believe it was that easy
The Emissary and the Hunter are both You, but just two different sides of you. You have always chosen one of two paths. Both of your own selves exist in your own mind (encoder/decoder of multiple universes), which they have to share. So each represents two different paths you always take in the end. Your choice becomes the universe your own mind has to encode and decode (and live in and with). Therefore, if you defeat them or persuade them, you can meld both halves of yourself together with the power given to you to chose to be one new unified being, and thus you become a Starborn! Just guessing!😁
It’s literally shows in the story that the hunter is a version of keeper aquilus and the emissary can actually chance people depending on what universe you’re in. It’ll be whoever dies in that universe at the beginning of the story and who dies is decided by who you have the most affinity with and whether you go to the eye or stay at the lodge. After becoming starborn you can save them all in the other universes and in that case the emissary would just be who would have died. In my first playthrough it was Sam coe, for my friend it was Barrett and by the time I was on new game 5 or 6 it kept being andreja. To me I think that means that there’s multiple emissaries in the multiverse but only one hunter and that’s because the hunter actually hunts other versions of himself so that the only one that exists is the strongest, he even tells you to kill keeper aquilus in your universe if you side with him but you can convince the keeper to just run away and then lie to the hunter
I think while execution could have been a lot better the idea is amazingly unique. And game awards should have at least given ONE creative award at least for concept.
"His" weapon? Who was the Emissary for you? Mine was Sarah... I think it's whoever died in either your current playthrough, or the most recent where you didn't skip the plot. Or maybe you're locked in with your first Emissary on a particular character. Either way, I suspect it's not necessarily the same person for everyone.
Mine was also Sarah even tho I didn't marry her or spent any time with her but in my ng1 she seems to like me. Through out the whole first play she was nothing but an nag lol
@@jovan9519 In your initial run one of them will die, no matter what. If you go to the Eye to save the one with the highest affinity, the one with the next-highest will have been killed by the time you come back. None of them die in NG+ runs if you skip the main plot. I haven't got to that point in an NG+ run where I actually play the main plot yet.
What I find interesting is that other galaxies have that same, weird mechanical construct look as the Milky Way when you pass through Unity. Do we assume that other species in other galaxies have reached the Unity?
Too bad we couldn’t customize the starborne ship, because of the 360 view of the outside, and the unique perfect sphere that would help in making cool custom ships designs, lol.
Starfield only has 1 ending. You might see different scenarios like a romance partner or whether you sided with UC SYSDEF or not, but the game (no matter how many times you go through it) always ends the exact same way. The game always ends with you going through the "Unity," and then you begin your NG+. Whatever you did in the previous game has not bearing on what happens in the next.
If you don't skip all starborn interactions do change a bit, so if you want a "full" run, redo the story. Skipping it feels unsatisfying as hell unless you're speedrunning.
Skip the main mission until you max out your powers. After that, redo the missions and you'll have interesting dialogue and mission actions, due to your Starborn status.
Maybe someone posted something like this but if you have a companion, I had vasco, he/she/Vasco will be next to you before you walk past yourself. How does that work really?! I think it’s is wrong to have the companion with you after you throttle up your gravdrive. Also, what happens if you start shooting at the emissary or the hunter after you meet them outside next to your ship before you enter the base/temple? Do the emissary and hunter fire back or do they act like they have been shot and stand on all four on the ground?
So what happens if you Repeat the Main Quest or Skip the Main Quest? I'm not sure if repeating the main quest, immediately sends you back to that mine from the first playthrough. And in the case of Skip Main Quest, I really don't have idea what could possibly happen.
I skipped, landed in the lodge and i showed them where all the artifacts are. You are basically skipping everything you already done, and only go to collect the artifacts which are already discovered for you to walk to and collect. At that point you basically go to do the end fight scene again. Only real difference is that you will be higher level and have collected more points for your skill tree(s) and temples.
IF you choose to repeat main story (in NG+) you will notice some differences in dialogues and occasionally you get some new answers (labeled Starborn) due to your knowledge of how things will end. This applies to 99% of NG+. But in case you land on one of the ~10 possible alternates starts (example: all constellation members are you or are children) then you get a totally different game (but some of these starts are bugged). The most brutal one is the one where you are not allowed to save or use any items- meaning you rely only in your powers). these starts are the most funny for me to explore.
IF you choose to skip main story, you tell constellation the locations of all artifacts and temples, you get to gather them, then go directly to the 2 ending missions (choose side and fight). Something like speed-running you can complete in 2-4 hours more or less. You get no companions, no faction quests, no nothing. Only artifacts and temples.
@@kzar99last part isn’t true. You can still get them as companions/crew, you can still start up faction quests or side quests like they start normally and you can still explore everything. It’s just the main story line that gets skipped
Well whadya know...i got the true ending first time around. Also passed the speech check at the final fight so didn't have to fight them. First time too
Bro i did that accidentally and was like "of course i can speech my way out of the end fight. Thanks bethesda." It almost felt wrong but I live that it was an option because it really lived up to my characters diplomat background.
In my unity I've seen a lot of things, what happens to the UC, Free star collective and the crimson fleet. Because I finished all the factions missions before I entered it.
Sooooooooooooooooo who made the artifacts then lol, doesn't seem to answer that other than power hungry dude trying to collect them all and another dude who pursues being a peace keeper
For me the true ending is not going through unity, cherishing things you've accomplished, relationships you've made and remembering people you've lost. If you go through unity, you trade your humanity and everything you were before, for power. Bethesda games don't really end, they are endless. You the player decide when to end it.
Thanks to my Jedi kind powers implant, I quickly talked them both down and went in for the true ending. I was most happy to learn I was right about the Terramophs choice I made despite the shit my crew gave me about it.
**SPOILERS** I used the implant to force them to agree with me. In the UC questline: I went for bringing back the predator and not using the virus. This choice was controversial with all my team. In the ending, you see that it was actually a great choice. @@cod_fallout_queen8859
@@cod_fallout_queen8859in the unity it’ll explain the consequences of the choices you made in the story and if you go with the aceles instead of the virus against the terrormorhps it’ll tell you that was overall the right decision as spreading them across the settled systems forced cooperation between the powers that be. I’m not sure what it tells you if you go with the virus tho
So basically doesn't really mather which one you choose or non of them... you will be sended to a new parallel universe and you only keep your powers and skills and level...
Do I need to defeat/perusade both Emissary and Hunter at least one time to get their artifact and therefore their powers? Or should i do it always and get both their artifacts at least 10 times to level up the powers to lv10 coming from their artifacts?
Once u reach new game plus u can skip and just collect artifacts and also skip end boss with persuade to save time on runs on my 7th run ship stops being upgraded once u hit 6 armor gets stronger .
@prosperbeatsbeats some people like replayable like me and some people just want a stronger armour each ng+ For me I like to replay resident evil games and speedrun through for fastest time
@@saber7271 honestly i respect that people play like this, i've always thought that playing a singeplayer game once was enough but now i might re do it again
If there's only 1 set of Artifacts in every universe... How do the Emmisary and the Hunter seem to know each other across multiple universes. There's no way, realistically speaking, that one of them jumps to a new universe and finds the other again who just so happens to remember everything abour their interactions in the universe that they got stuck in??? Is this some kind of hole in the plot? I know they keep their memories when they pass through Unity, but only ONE of them can get through. Idk. It doesn't make much sense. Anyway I guess I'm going to do a second playthrough acting as Kang the Conqueror lmao.
Yes and no. There are few things you need to consider. Going through the Unity changes stuff up. Remember you can meet yourself sometimes, or have Sarah as a plant. Canonically, every Hunter/Emissary you meet (especially in the 1st playthrough) have gone through the Unity so many times, albeit the Hunter more (due to him having max armor). They know through going into it that most times, the Hunter wins, but sometimes the Emissary wins. In your playthrough, the Hunter has never lost AND the Emissary have never lost. Because they come from infinite timelines. That version is Hunter after coming off a 100+ win streak and the Emissary coming off a 20+ win streak. Knowing of the unity mechanic, it is implied that they know that rules because they've done this so many times. Everytime you find a Starborn, that is their version of coming off a winstreak. But a winstreak isn't as impressive in the context of infinite. There are infinite winners, but even more infinite losers.
It just so happens in this playthrough, the Rook (player character) survives. This is the 1st iteration that the Hunter/Emissary has seen it. Normally, the rook goes through the game, gets powers, and dies when the hunter attacks. Various iterations of who gets extra pissy about it. Also it is to be given, that your surviving companion(s) all come with you into Unity. So you *could* think that all the Starborn you fight in this game are just various versions of Sam, Cora, Barrett, Sarah, Andreja, and Keeper. The rook never really became one, until now.
Keep in mind, you can become Starborn by choosing any of these endings. Besides the one where you walk away of course.
So even tho I can go back into the unity after walking away I won’t
Be able to start NG+ n become star born?
@@Donlugo11 no you'll become starborn if you go back in and walk through the unity even after walking away
A pity you didn't romance. Adds something to the ending story.
Looking at your ships cockpit, your ship sucks. I got the Star Eagle early on in the game by becoming a Free Star Ranger and completing the missions. The Star Eagle may not be the best ship in the game, but it can be given to you early in the game, and it can be upgraded as you Add skill points to the right skills. But anyone at level 26 that doesn't have the Star Eagle is a sitting duck against other ships. The Shields are over 800!! You also increase shields by adding skill points to increase them. The Cargo capacity is over 2200. Add skill points to Starship Engineering and you can upgrade the Grave Drive, Reactor, fuel capacity, etc.. The Star Eagle, as it comes from the Star Rangers is WAY more powerful than the ship you used to fight the Starborn.
@@johnspartan98 does it really matter lol
There's a secret ending that if you completed all your tasks and refuse both Hunter and Emissary, you continue to walk into the unity and it cuts to black.
And your character wakes up in a carriage and you see a blond guy in bounds ane he tells you "hey, you. You're finally awake."
This will make top comment.
Here before this gets pinned 😂
Lol it would fit since the dragonborne is always looking to the constellations in the sky for new perks
Damn this one got me 😂😂

friendly reminder that 2 cosmic demi-god just got killed by an angry miner.

yup, and never in the whole game did any of the bartenders say... "Hey! We don't serve miners here! Get out or we'll be raided by the cops!" because 'this guy' is just too damn badass and intimidating! ;>

I encountered him walking between the Spaceport landing àrea and The Viewport in my current playthrough, but before I went through the Unity. We had an interesting conversation. I tried to talk to him after going through it, but he didn't respond to me.
Apparently doing multiple NG+ alters your armor time after time, with the 10th playthrough essentially making you The Hunter. Also, there are apparently permutations that alter Constellation.
I've seen one where Sarah was (obviously spoilers)
A potted plant.
@@quantras2673l just on the second time through everyone is gone and all that remains are different versions of my character.
So is it just the constellation group that changes every ng+, or are their more random events outside of it that change with the other factions?
Also if we prefer one version of the armor over another can you get that version back or buy it somewhere? (Or is it a skin option?)
@@skaternutxOriginal I am still pacing myself, my buddy got the NG+. That said, the guys on the discord did mentioning some other aspects changing.
You actually have to reach new game plus 10 to complete the cycle. Universe's change with every new start
The coolest factor of these endings is that when you become a Starborn, you truly become no better than The Hunter. Because the whole premise of NG+ is to play the game through a different lens, doing other quests, making more evil decisions, etc. So after NG+ 10 when you obtain The Hunters armor.. it makes so much sense.
not only that, but the ONLY benefit to ng+ aside from getting more levels, is that you can only get 24 Powers/Upgrades PER LOOP, so you literally become the hunter by entering new universes and getting stronger Starborn powers. pretty trippy tbh
Well it really depends on how you leave that universe. You can either be a trailblazer or prevent anyone from following.
What if you play evil teh fridt playtrhough?
Most of my playthroughs wil be good one time i wil side with the crimson Fleetwood and the Hunter for the rest i wil very between beeing nice and more of a neutral mercenary depending on the mood
wdym, the main point of NG+ is to clean other universes of Hunters and Emissaries scum
if you complete main storyline quest and all factions questlines, there are even more events shown inside unity (than the 2 shown on this video) - so, dont rush to get there!

This is literally a nod to not only New Game +, but the people who play Bethesda RPGs in general. The protagonist is literally you, in an alternate universe 300 years in the future where humanity has spread throughout the stars. Have you become a ruthless pirate who won’t think twice about killing innocent civilians to get what you want, or are you a movie hero fighting to make this universe a better place? Do you see the artifacts as a “game”, where whoever collects them all and ascends first wins, or do you feel like the Creators had intended for the Starborn to become keepers who help humanity find their way?
I also liked how the Starborn are sort of their own RPG protagonists, they're almost like other player characters you're competing against.

Props to Bethesda for actually making a lore reason for our character’s ability to teleport at random anywhere
You’re a starborn, just go wherever you feel
You can only fast travel places you've already been, just like every Bethesda game ever.
@@oROBBIEo Wrong. Oblivion let you travel to the major cities of Cyrodiil even if you didn't discover them yet. Weynon Priory was also able to be fast travelled to without discovery.
We have one in the Elder Scrolls games too. CHIM. It's deep lore in the game but it's basically a lore explanation for console commands.
Well to be fair, Skyrim and Fallout would pass the amount of in-game time it'd take to travel that far so it was more... simulating the walk rather than teleporting lol
I wish I could fast travel to the purchase screen and wait another year.
The thing is the 'what you accomplished' shown at the unity won't change with additional faction quests completed. What also sucks is there's so little content to keep playing, so if our character decides to become starborn they are basically in a ground hog day crazy loop where you relive the same few months over and over.

I just finished this today, amazing game. I kinda wish there was a secret path you could take to not become Starborn and stay behind with whoever you romanced, would have been cool to have the option. Kinda a sad ending that everyone forgets the past except for you and you gotta leave everyone in your OG universe behind lol
You are given that option. You just turn around at the space orb and walk away from it
Sarah was talking about our wedding ceremony right before I went into the Unity. I went back to Constellation and I was a stranger to her, it was like the end of No Way Home 💔
Your spouse can follow you. In my original universe I took Sarah with me and my other me even told me Sarah also became a Starborn. But you don't end up in the same universe.
@@zacharylong1954 I did that, but that doesnt really “end” the game. It would have been nice to have a separate ending of staying behind
@@Lialexen if that's the case they want too much out of life
I honestly really like how this story ended, reminds me a lot of the ending to No Man's Sky; you follow the path of the ancient force to find some answers to the galaxy and in the end you find yourself in a whole new galaxy, leaving behind everything you built there to start all over, except in starfield the consequences of your actions are a lot stronger and weigh on you more, Bethesda nailed it with this ending, felt a lot of feelings throughout the ending.
Ending of No Man's Sky. Good ending. Pick one.
I got depressed when andreja who i romanced started talking abt if we would recognized each other after going into the unity. The emotion and way they talk just gets to me. Like there are some things to think abt irl? Stay with the people u love and everything u worked for or leave everything behind
I didn’t like any of the main story until the funeral
I didn’t like any of the main story until the funeral
I didn’t want my Sarah to die 😭
I finished the main story the other day. Funny enough I found myself starting to become more like the Hunter as I passed through each NG+ to get the armor and new ship upgrades. Not to mention more power. Became rude and hostile in conversations with NPCs and killed to get what I wanted. Just to get more power. Pretty interesting. I really love how Bethesda added NG+ to the story rather than just starting the game again like other NG+. One thing I would of liked to see is for the Artifacts to be in other places around the game world. Like in peoples private collections or maybe onboard a space ship and so on. Shooting my way through Neon or something would of been fun. More verity of changes would of been nice too. Like maybe Vlad was in charge of the Pirates or Sarah never left the military stuff like that. It would of been a lot of work for Bethesda but that would of been cool.

I just finished the game today. One thing I'd've LOVED to be part of NG+? A chance to redo certain character aspects. Imagine not choosing a trait you didn't like, or adding one you're curious about. (In my case, I'd want the dream house trait. I blew A LOT of money on Neon's Sky Suite, and I doubt I'll ever buy THAT thing again. Meanwhile I've heard the Dream House is cheaper, AND better!)
Man, the Kid Stuff trait with your parents gets really rough with the dialogue that you can say with Starborn after being reborn. Very emotional moment.
@@bismarck4872I was also about to bring up Kid Stuff but I haven't reached NG+ yet and I was fully expecting my parents to no longer exist in a different universe? Like, if this world is different then maybe they're dead or we never got along or they gave us up for adoption or something in this other universes... idk how I feel about them still being there on NG+ but I'm excited to see it regardless
@@GrimmNastyythere'll be an option for you being grateful
Yeah, I might give up adoring fan as that gets old. Or give up wanted, but that can be useful. I wanted the dream house but someone said you can build a better house. I never had the patience to do that.
@tomm1109 Honestly, Dream House is pretty cool, but the apartment you get for free for finishing the terrormorph quest line is pretty close to it. Dream Home costs $125,000, or you can rent it for a week for $500 until you get the $125,000. Is it worth starting a fresh game over starting a new game through NG+? Probably not, but it depends on if you are ok with regrinding your skills and challenges again.
09:42 Not really. What you (your character) sees in this space before the Unity is based on all your life choices. If you did not rush the main quest but play the whole game you'll see some more little scenes there.
Here is a thought I had.
The Unity is actually an Eldritch horror outside of space-time and use's the artifacts to bring people to it and if they accept it eats a part of their soul in exchange for power.
So each time a Starborn goes through the Unity the more of their soul and humanity is lost.
I have my own term for this kind of entity, Soul-Amalgam.
In one way or another two or more souls get combined/merged/eaten, etc.
Needless to say these things are not mentally stable but they all have one thing in common... they want more souls so they can grow.
I hope you enjoy the nightmare fuel I have left you with.
I kinda hate the fact that walking away isnt really its own ending
I debated walking away, but in the end, when I stopped thinking, I went through. I didn't know you could essentially come back at any time. So honestly it seems to me the devs basically set it u that the point is to go through the unity one way or the other, sooner or later.
I don't regret it, I was ok leaving everything behind from that universe, even though I spent 100 hours in it, had a nice ship, outpost, etc.
@@ravenheartwraith yeah but I like the idea of being satisfied with what you have.
@@christiangibson2733 They did it to keep the option open in case the player changes their mind and isn't soft locked out of the unity. I agree that they should've made walking away it's own ending but i get why they kept the option open just in case.
Idk why but I had a hilarious thought, imagine Bethesda does the ending where you as a starborn travel into the elder scroll universe and you start the elder scrolls 6 LOOL
wooooooooooooooow, imagine that
I really wanted to marry Sarah, but instead I didn't think properly and went into the unity, when I came back to the lodge as a starborn, obviously she didn't recognized me and sincerely, even if it's just a game, that kind of hurted me a bit
You can marry her again ;)

@@Janice_19 You keep all the skills, level, and research you've done. The only thing that resets is your credits which are easy to get, your weapons which are also easy to get, and you start off with good armor and a good ship. Kinda the whole point of the game is to reset multiple times.
Yeah, I'll think about it; thanks :)@@Zivin
I hope there is an option to join both. Or they both Hunter and Emissary choose to co-operate with you in this one.
closest thing is neutral ending and persuading them to fuck off at the ending
There isn't, there is only the three choices each play through
you can.
I think you can go against them at the beginning and then in the final battle at the buried temple you can convince them to give up without a fight so that universe gets a neutral ending where you all live. Pretty sure it’s way harder to convince both of them than just one tho and the hunter is overall harder to convince than the emissary either way
Id like to think that your character splits, part stays behind and carries on (that part that fuses with the universe) and part of you moves on (the part that leaves the universe forever) so really you dont leave your universe, only your conscious splits and you just play through the perspective of the part that moved on
Pretty sure that is what happens because you meet other versions of yourself in the story including the already starborn you at the unity
@@Steamaroon that's purely because parallel universes usually have the same people

they should have added a ending when you return, kinda something about you letting the unity open or something, or endings like in the dlc for fallout 3 where you send a companion to be starborn
There is an ending where you return and the unity is open for you to go back to when you feel like it
@relaxedclaw yeah but the final mission quest remains incomplete
@SparkleBurst if it's incomplete, then it's not an "ending." *nuh* 🤓👍
You missed one possible ending:
True Ending NG+
You can use "I already won once, so why fight me" as an arguement.
Bruh I did a NG+3 today and when I went to the lodge a evil version of me betrayed and killed all the constellation members and Sarah thought it was me and when I tried to explain to her it wasn’t me the evil version of me shot her but before he did Sarah asked me what was going through my mind as I chocked Barrett to death and then boom evil version kills her and replies to me * what was going through my mind was him finally not talking anymore*
The universes actually change for each new game? That's awesome. I wonder how many variants they added.
There is only a 15% you get a "weird" next universe, like the one with Evil You. There are 10 weird universes, but you could happen to never get them.
😂😂😂 I was on ng+5 and I wanted to make it my last one but Cora was evil killed all the consolation members I was passed lol I had to do another ng+ don't get me wrong the ng+ is awesome but for me doing it 10x is just to much 6 is my final one for me I just wanna explore and create my life here😊

I wish there was an ending that didn't feel so unsatisfying, abandoning your whole life and all of your loved ones for the pursuit of power.... Poopy ending in my opinion, where's the cutesy moment me and my crew reunite as thousand year old star born like the hunter and the emissary. it seems odd from writing point of view anyways. If you romance Sarah and save her she'll tell you she fears entering the unity because we might never see each other again only for that to be confirmed by the emissary lady, then suddenly later on she 180's and basically says nah one of us will eventually lets just do it.... Like I was all for settling down on a quaint little planet and having little homesteading farmer babies but hey.... Endless search for power and understanding it is I guess.... I feel like a lot of this would’ve been rectified by simply making the walk away option an ending itself, with its own achievement. If you really wanted to excel in your RPG making abilities you might even have romance options have a custom voice line where they explain how they chose not to enter as well, missed opportunity….
100% agree. I couldn’t explain it better. I absolutely despise the ending. It’s like, if you watch Star Wars, joining the dark side in the pursuit of power.
Game is a game at the end of the day. None of these characters matter, it’s all pixels. So might as well get more out of the game that you paid for. That’s just me though.

@@Joeseph_Mamamoa Useless input adding nothing of value, ironically an unpopular opinion too lmao, perhaps you just have shitty taste in writing? XD
this plot never ends.
each universe allows you to choose a different ending.
I was hoping killing the Hunter had more importance for the fact that he killed your friend, after you take revenge no one mentions it if you decide to come back. All you get is a dialogue of the people saying heyy you are back 😮
yes that would have been a good addition; I gave him a few pithy words of my own instead
I persuaded him to leave. Then Sarah says that was an amazing bit of persuasion and that she will be out of a job at Constillation.
He killed my wife. Of course I killed him
I really do not like the ending. It forces you to “ascend” so to speak. Also your lover essentially says that no matter what, both of you will eventually leave. I find that stupid. I think that you should be able to totally reject the idea of leaving all your friends and universe behind, while also having a middle ground and really loving the unity. You should also be able to just leave the Unity and have it give you the choice of completing the main story there. I don’t know, man. Also we kind of learn to despise the Starborn because they are a massive antagonist, yet we are basically forced to join their cause…
What could make it better is that you could get emotional at times when you talk to your friends I guess. Also, what the hell is the story add-on going to be about?? I sure hope it allows you to return to your old universe. Tell me what y’all think, I thought it was kind of cool at first, but once I realized you couldn’t return, I hated the idea of it completely.
By the way, I REALLY like Starfield, I didn’t have amazing expectations, but whatever they once were, they have been surpassed. This is the only game that has made me motivated to 100% complete. Unfortunately that requires ascending a ton.
Not sure if you fully listened to your character speaking to you, but they say you can turn around and leave the unity. You DONT have to be Starborn. If you don't enter the portal, neither will your companions. So just turn around and walk into the void. Boom back to original universe.
@@nolen_ix That's what I chose and I'm completely satisfied with it. Best choice ever!
You can leave the unity, just walk away instead of walking into it and they didn’t make the story end after walking away so that you can come back and aren’t locked out just cause you didn’t fully commit the first time, especially since you go to it the first time not knowing exactly what will happen so after learning you can’t come back to that universe people might want to walk away and keep exploring it or finish up some quest lines before fully moving on
Oh, so the starborn inadvertently destroyed earth. Makes sense.
The part priorto where you pick a side has you go to a NASA launch site on earth. You find out that they were messing with one of the artifacts there which was used to create the first grav drive. However in doing so ruined the magnetosphere and giving earth about 50 years left until the atmosphere would dissipate.
Humans themselves created a way to explore the cosmos in real time at the cost of our home planet.
Yes. Much like the Great Serpent and the Va'hrunn. Except it spun out of control. "Hey bro, you need to gather everyone to get into Unity. Anybody that doesn't will get left behind."
"Got it. Everyone who doesn't join is going against me, and something is going to eat the world when they don't, except for us"
As the Starborn fades out he is going "Noooooooooooo!"
I hate how she says theres something familiar about you and thats it nothing else, we dont even get the option to mention anything about our time together.
I wanna watch it so bad but I don’t wanna spoil it for myself
We’re in the same boat
You become Star born 😂
You’re not missing anything
Not spoiling anything, but the game is trash.
So why click on it
the entire time i played, i was looking forward to the moment when aliens inevitably made themselves known and i was so surprised at the first encounter with Helix after buying the artifact in Neon that the thought of them being anything *other than aliens* didn't really occur to me. i jus finished the game today and realized that, even after getting the full story, these "Starborn" could very easily jus be regular human beings and there quite possibly isn't any sentient alien life afterall or at the very least, there's life even more powerful than the Hunter or Emissary. it only occurred to me whenever i did that one mission that makes you board their ship to talk with them that they could easily jus be projecting the appearance of people we know as a way of manipulating us into trusting them to do their bidding

That's why when you get to new game 10 you get the hunter armor. You realize nothing matters if there's infinite universes of the same people, knowing this, your primary goal is to enter new universes and gain power, growing cynical and uncaring of the people and relationships, just like the hunter.
@@Joe-bs6hd got to respect the storytelling
Im hoping any DLC will be aimed at the home universe
Oh we will get answers. At one point the hunter says "whoever created the artifact is playing a game on us" which makes it clear that even the starborn have no clue where the artifacts came from or how the unity is even possible, or who created the whole system in the first place. Maybe the shattered space dlc will answer that.
Here’s a tip.. manual save in the unity, grab your achievement/trophy then reload your last save and continue your progress.. or just reload* your latest save
Yeah I learned that the hard way, I did a quick save thinking it’d do a Skyrim and just add another save one, but sadly that’s not the case, almost 30+ hours gone because of saving and my goofy ass
exactly what I did
I think the good ending is you not siding with the hunter the first time, coming back and then not siding with either and returning back to your instance . This way you stay, grow and live a normal life and your insurance will never have starborns attack it. And life will go on. Mind you, Sarah chooses to stay as well
I have a question: i just beat the game, sided with the hunter and talked to all of the constellation members before becoming starborn. The 3 main ones, being Sarah, Barrett and Andreja all said they were eager to go to the Unity and become starborn. Is it possible to meet them as starborn in the newgame plus? Or have they simply “reset” back to their normal selves? Im eager to know, as I want to do constellations quests if I meet them again as starborns, But if I dont, I will just do other quests instead
I’ve not seen them yet after 10 hours in ng+ but it’s always a possibility
Seems not but it is possible. All things and outcomes are possible due to the infinite multiverse. Rp aside its crazy how the game changes and the amount of replay ability every ng+.
Yeah idk cuz on my play through Barett died who was ur Emissary?
Well my starborn self told me that Sarah would eventually join me as a starborn so the one you meet in the new universe is not the same person
@@terencebok yeah I think it’s different every time, so far I’ve seen Sam, Sarah, Barrett and Andrea

That's like saying the end of GroundHog day was waking up the same day.
Actually the ending is quite good if you believe this could actually happen in our own galaxy,who knows…

@@plus_sign that's because you're not hearing millions of cry baby sony pony fans telling you to hate starfield. You have to over come their illusion magic against you. Then you can enjoy starfield.
Everyone forgets this is NG+. You are rssentially restarting the game, Bethesda just gave you a better reason to do it and a sense of continuity. The real ending is having found everything and the answers
the timecode scripts are misleading its not necessarily 'bad' to side with the hunter, nor is it really the 'true' ending to do it 'alone'(i had crew on my ship that should also be starborn but i digress), its a choice, tehre are no bad endings, it is just THE 'ending'
Wait, the Emissary can be Sam Coe? I thought it was either Morgan or Barrett depending on whether you went to the space station when the Hunter attacked.
It can be Sam, Sarah, Barrett or Andreja, it’s decided by whoever dies in that universe when the hunter attacks and who dies is decided by your affinity with them and whether you go to the eye or stay at the lodge. Your highest affinity character is injured on the eye and you can save them by leaving the lodge however your second highest affinity character will die at the lodge if you do. The only way to save them all is in a new universe where you have prior knowledge of the hunters attack and the hunter will even commend you for stopping his attack before it even happens however if you let him attack the lodge and do enough damage to him in the process he’ll actually give you his gun as a reward for fighting well but you can get his gun from killing him at the end and it’s pretty trash anyway. The emissaries gun is way better and you can get that the same way at the end. Also the emissary will drop his armor but the hunter won’t so killing the emissary is both the only way to get starborn armor without new game plus and it’s the only way to get a second starborn armor for a companion after getting yours from going through the unity
depending on if you are currently in a standard or rare universe and combined with what other non main quest items you do there is roughly 10ish major decisions in each playthrough times ten playthroughs so thechnically there is near 100 different endings... yes they are largely grouped into those three over arching choices ,however you are truly missing the subtle undertones of the story as a whole calling them good,bad,true i believe that most players will miss what the devs were attempting to convey with this game because it takes an incredible amount of work to really grasp it how they intended and everyone on youtube is rushing to get videos out while it is a hot topic, and that is just sad
Seeing only 2 dioramas in the unity was so sad. I saw so many things I felt a personal connection with. It was totally different.
Any known differences after you do new game plus/ starborn playthrough? (true ending)? In relationships or quests?
I just finished it and basically you just restart with a starborn space suit and ship. Low-key cool but sadly you have to restart all relationships and so forth.
@@coltonelliott5903bro they could of done something more then Star born that’s super original it took them 7 years to come up with that 😂
@@coltonelliott5903do it again…it gets crazier
@@steveo0127I wish God of war was good
@@AgentFearXIt's really good to be honest, I recommend both of the new games.
Personally I enjoyed the faction missions and side missions more than the main story, so my question is: If I start an NG+ do I need to repeat the faction and side missions again?
Im pretty sure you do, because it's supposed to be a new universe
I finish 1 faction mission 2 day and 3 faction to go in ng+ 🫡
Yup. You lose everything but your level, unlocked powers, and whatever skills from magazines but not the actual magazine (you can collect them again but the skills may be different), and all faction progress. So if you had done all the freeside ranger quest to get the ship you gotta do it again.
"never gotten this far before". That makes no sense when you are greeted with another version of yourself in the starfield. At least 1 of you must've entered the unity.
Out of 25 jumps through the Unity, I’ve always sided with the Hunter, except one time. I let the Emissary sway me only because it was Andreja.
Bugger becoming starborn i cant be bothered to lose all my items in a Bethesda game.
I basically got the true ending but walked away
so the hunter is basicaly our character after he has become jaded from beating the game so many times?
the real end game character explaining everything to you was nuts... that shit made me cry hearing that voice for the first time.
Im level 20.......The Hunter RANDOMLY jumped out of a garden beside "The View Port" when i was running back to my ship last night in New Atlantis, scared the $#@+ out of me!!!
I was able to talk to him until he just walked away and said he was waiting for something.
Then when i was fighting some Ecliptics and a Terrormorph about 20 minutes later I suddenly had greenish smoke around my character, vision was in and out of focus like a concussion grenade had been used on me and was hearing kids and people screaming and crying saying stuff like "he's ciming to get us" "we're all going to die" "this is the end its all over"....was so weird!! It all stopped when I killed the Terrormorph and when I inspected it it had its normal black skin but with purple markings all over it.
in my first playthrough, I didn't side with either, then persuaded both of them to just piss off without a final battle. I only had the first perk for persuasion. Couldn't believe it was that easy
Why does that sound like the guy from DOOM 2016
if you beat both, and play main quest again, will still see hunter and emmisary. how different it is to repeat main quest
The Emissary and the Hunter are both You, but just two different sides of you. You have always chosen one of two paths. Both of your own selves exist in your own mind (encoder/decoder of multiple universes), which they have to share. So each represents two different paths you always take in the end. Your choice becomes the universe your own mind has to encode and decode (and live in and with).
Therefore, if you defeat them or persuade them, you can meld both halves of yourself together with the power given to you to chose to be one new unified being, and thus you become a Starborn!
Just guessing!😁
Everything/everyone is connected
It’s literally shows in the story that the hunter is a version of keeper aquilus and the emissary can actually chance people depending on what universe you’re in. It’ll be whoever dies in that universe at the beginning of the story and who dies is decided by who you have the most affinity with and whether you go to the eye or stay at the lodge. After becoming starborn you can save them all in the other universes and in that case the emissary would just be who would have died. In my first playthrough it was Sam coe, for my friend it was Barrett and by the time I was on new game 5 or 6 it kept being andreja. To me I think that means that there’s multiple emissaries in the multiverse but only one hunter and that’s because the hunter actually hunts other versions of himself so that the only one that exists is the strongest, he even tells you to kill keeper aquilus in your universe if you side with him but you can convince the keeper to just run away and then lie to the hunter
In the next universe, when Sarah says, "I hope your Sarah knows you're okay", ngl it made me kinda sad. 😭
All 3 endings has practically the same outcome besides different final speech. There are no real consequences of those 3 choices in further playing.
It was sad when I have returned in NG and nobody recognized me
Apparently my ending of my first play through was to be stuck forever in the end credits.
Hunter is the same guy as the Daedric follower in Skyrim and I absolutely love the guy.
It's the most beautiful ending I've ever seen in my lifetime of playing games the music compliments the background quite well😊😊😊
I think while execution could have been a lot better the idea is amazingly unique. And game awards should have at least given ONE creative award at least for concept.
"His" weapon? Who was the Emissary for you? Mine was Sarah... I think it's whoever died in either your current playthrough, or the most recent where you didn't skip the plot. Or maybe you're locked in with your first Emissary on a particular character. Either way, I suspect it's not necessarily the same person for everyone.
Barrett was my Emissary
It is the person who died after hunter attacked, if you go in the eye to save ur companions none of them should die, but I think barret will
Mine was also Sarah even tho I didn't marry her or spent any time with her but in my ng1 she seems to like me. Through out the whole first play she was nothing but an nag lol
My initial run, Barrett was my Emissary. Second run was never revealed, but the voice was Sarah.
Nobody died in my 2nd run
@@jovan9519 In your initial run one of them will die, no matter what. If you go to the Eye to save the one with the highest affinity, the one with the next-highest will have been killed by the time you come back. None of them die in NG+ runs if you skip the main plot. I haven't got to that point in an NG+ run where I actually play the main plot yet.
What I find interesting is that other galaxies have that same, weird mechanical construct look as the Milky Way when you pass through Unity. Do we assume that other species in other galaxies have reached the Unity?
This must’ve been a speed run for the endings because there were way more people/events when I went through the Unity!!
The 11th play threw takes you to winterhold where you live out the rest of your days
How is The Emissary Sam for you but Sarah for me?
Too bad we couldn’t customize the starborne ship, because of the 360 view of the outside, and the unique perfect sphere that would help in making cool custom ships designs, lol.
I wish I could have experienced this ending as it was intended. Instead the final battles totally raped my PC ☹️
Starfield only has 1 ending. You might see different scenarios like a romance partner or whether you sided with UC SYSDEF or not, but the game (no matter how many times you go through it) always ends the exact same way. The game always ends with you going through the "Unity," and then you begin your NG+. Whatever you did in the previous game has not bearing on what happens in the next.
Siding with the self-appointed gate keepers to immortality was never really an option for me.
14:34 what happens if you skip the main quest? any new missions? or do you just repeat everything while being "starborn"
You just skip the main story missions and can get straight into collecting all the artifacts which can be done pretty quickly
If you don't skip all starborn interactions do change a bit, so if you want a "full" run, redo the story. Skipping it feels unsatisfying as hell unless you're speedrunning.
Skip the main mission until you max out your powers. After that, redo the missions and you'll have interesting dialogue and mission actions, due to your Starborn status.
This is so sad the endings this game made me cry for a main Bethesda game story
Maybe someone posted something like this but if you have a companion, I had vasco, he/she/Vasco will be next to you before you walk past yourself. How does that work really?! I think it’s is wrong to have the companion with you after you throttle up your gravdrive. Also, what happens if you start shooting at the emissary or the hunter after you meet them outside next to your ship before you enter the base/temple? Do the emissary and hunter fire back or do they act like they have been shot and stand on all four on the ground?
In the bestest ending Todd comes to our home in real life and forces you to buy the special edition of starfield
Am I the only one who noticed that I heard Sarah’s voice under the emissary’s mask when you talk to the emissary and the hunter in their ship?
Because that's indeed Sarah from a parallel universe, who discovered the Unity.
If that's the case then maybe the Hunter is you, atleast older you
@@BanishedSilentShadow3318 nope :) at least not for your first time. Hunter is actually an NPC you get to know towards the late game ;)
@@kzar99 yeah found that out the other day, I admit I was wrong
So what happens if you Repeat the Main Quest or Skip the Main Quest? I'm not sure if repeating the main quest, immediately sends you back to that mine from the first playthrough. And in the case of Skip Main Quest, I really don't have idea what could possibly happen.
I skipped, landed in the lodge and i showed them where all the artifacts are. You are basically skipping everything you already done, and only go to collect the artifacts which are already discovered for you to walk to and collect. At that point you basically go to do the end fight scene again. Only real difference is that you will be higher level and have collected more points for your skill tree(s) and temples.
IF you choose to repeat main story (in NG+) you will notice some differences in dialogues and occasionally you get some new answers (labeled Starborn) due to your knowledge of how things will end. This applies to 99% of NG+. But in case you land on one of the ~10 possible alternates starts (example: all constellation members are you or are children) then you get a totally different game (but some of these starts are bugged). The most brutal one is the one where you are not allowed to save or use any items- meaning you rely only in your powers). these starts are the most funny for me to explore.
IF you choose to skip main story, you tell constellation the locations of all artifacts and temples, you get to gather them, then go directly to the 2 ending missions (choose side and fight). Something like speed-running you can complete in 2-4 hours more or less. You get no companions, no faction quests, no nothing. Only artifacts and temples.
@@kzar99last part isn’t true. You can still get them as companions/crew, you can still start up faction quests or side quests like they start normally and you can still explore everything. It’s just the main story line that gets skipped
Any tips ok fighting both of them my ship doesn’t do no damage whatsoever and I don’t wanna go back like 5 hours so I can change the ending
Just do the ranger mission and get that ship it’ll be easy then
Missiles, lots of missiles
There's an extremely powerful class C ship for sale in Paradiso.
Well whadya know...i got the true ending first time around.
Also passed the speech check at the final fight so didn't have to fight them. First time too
Bro i did that accidentally and was like "of course i can speech my way out of the end fight. Thanks bethesda."
It almost felt wrong but I live that it was an option because it really lived up to my characters diplomat background.
in the unity you also get a look at what happens to hope tech if you kill the boss
In my unity I've seen a lot of things, what happens to the UC, Free star collective and the crimson fleet. Because I finished all the factions missions before I entered it.
Sooooooooooooooooo who made the artifacts then lol, doesn't seem to answer that other than power hungry dude trying to collect them all and another dude who pursues being a peace keeper
If you go back to toe lodge after walking away from unity do ppl acknowledge you went to unity? 🤔
Did anyone else get attacked by the hunter after you get the last artifact? Or was that just me lol
I always wanted to join one of the other, but always assumed it would be a bad choice. Thanks for this
For me the true ending is not going through unity, cherishing things you've accomplished, relationships you've made and remembering people you've lost.
If you go through unity, you trade your humanity and everything you were before, for power.
Bethesda games don't really end, they are endless. You the player decide when to end it.
Totally different location for the same interaction. Anyone else?
Thanks to my Jedi kind powers implant, I quickly talked them both down and went in for the true ending. I was most happy to learn I was right about the Terramophs choice I made despite the shit my crew gave me about it.
what do you mean?
**SPOILERS** I used the implant to force them to agree with me.
In the UC questline: I went for bringing back the predator and not using the virus. This choice was controversial with all my team. In the ending, you see that it was actually a great choice. @@cod_fallout_queen8859
@@cod_fallout_queen8859in the unity it’ll explain the consequences of the choices you made in the story and if you go with the aceles instead of the virus against the terrormorhps it’ll tell you that was overall the right decision as spreading them across the settled systems forced cooperation between the powers that be. I’m not sure what it tells you if you go with the virus tho
I wish the NG+ got more weirder with every new game (I know they do, but it feels the changes aren't that spectacular.)
So basically doesn't really mather which one you choose or non of them... you will be sended to a new parallel universe and you only keep your powers and skills and level...
Question. I have an Auto Persuade saved. can i use that to succeed the persuasion check before the potential boss battle?
Do I need to defeat/perusade both Emissary and Hunter at least one time to get their artifact and therefore their powers? Or should i do it always and get both their artifacts at least 10 times to level up the powers to lv10 coming from their artifacts?
At 32:30 why is Sarah missing? Same in my game even though she survived.
The Hunter’s logic is hard to ignore. The Emissary is hypocritical in many ways, especially in the concept of becoming Starborn itself
Once u reach new game plus u can skip and just collect artifacts and also skip end boss with persuade to save time on runs on my 7th run ship stops being upgraded once u hit 6 armor gets stronger .
You can persuade on the first runthrough
And also the ship continjes getting upgraded after 6 it just doesnt have a new number
How tf do mfs have time or fun playing the same game 7 times
@prosperbeatsbeats some people like replayable like me and some people just want a stronger armour each ng+
For me I like to replay resident evil games and speedrun through for fastest time
@@saber7271 honestly i respect that people play like this, i've always thought that playing a singeplayer game once was enough but now i might re do it again
If there's only 1 set of Artifacts in every universe... How do the Emmisary and the Hunter seem to know each other across multiple universes. There's no way, realistically speaking, that one of them jumps to a new universe and finds the other again who just so happens to remember everything abour their interactions in the universe that they got stuck in??? Is this some kind of hole in the plot? I know they keep their memories when they pass through Unity, but only ONE of them can get through. Idk. It doesn't make much sense. Anyway I guess I'm going to do a second playthrough acting as Kang the Conqueror lmao.
Yes and no.
There are few things you need to consider.
Going through the Unity changes stuff up. Remember you can meet yourself sometimes, or have Sarah as a plant. Canonically, every Hunter/Emissary you meet (especially in the 1st playthrough) have gone through the Unity so many times, albeit the Hunter more (due to him having max armor). They know through going into it that most times, the Hunter wins, but sometimes the Emissary wins. In your playthrough, the Hunter has never lost AND the Emissary have never lost. Because they come from infinite timelines. That version is Hunter after coming off a 100+ win streak and the Emissary coming off a 20+ win streak. Knowing of the unity mechanic, it is implied that they know that rules because they've done this so many times.
Everytime you find a Starborn, that is their version of coming off a winstreak. But a winstreak isn't as impressive in the context of infinite. There are infinite winners, but even more infinite losers.
It just so happens in this playthrough, the Rook (player character) survives. This is the 1st iteration that the Hunter/Emissary has seen it. Normally, the rook goes through the game, gets powers, and dies when the hunter attacks. Various iterations of who gets extra pissy about it.
Also it is to be given, that your surviving companion(s) all come with you into Unity.
So you *could* think that all the Starborn you fight in this game are just various versions of Sam, Cora, Barrett, Sarah, Andreja, and Keeper. The rook never really became one, until now.
Anyone else here the start of the fallout 4 score as we enter the new universe?
