      Did this during the first few hours when doing the first vanguard/UC quest. You later might see the captain on her ship when she, the private, and her marines got transferred to set backwater place when jumping around different star systems.

    I completed this mission around level 10 or so as a UC Vanguard like you Ox. I finished it and told my wife that it was one of the best Bethesda missions that I have ever experienced. The writing was top notch, the voice acting was excellent, and the combat and mission flow were superb. I highly recommend everyone that plays this game to do this mission. You won't regret it.

      This is going to be an issue with nearly every Starfield lore video. Why is there such a rush to get these pumped out before the game has been completed and all lore points actually understood and experienced? This has been hoofed out and he has never experienced what you just mentioned and it ruins the quality of the video. I say this as a big fan of his Fallout lore videos, I am a big fan because they are so thorough. The Starfield ones are the opposite of thorough

      @@xIRzxMeRk I’m a youtube creator under an anonymous account and can say that the real reason he is probably “rushing to pump these videos out” is because the algorithm demands it or else it will show his videos less and less. It’s sad really but it’s true, I was doing music content and posting once a week and my channel died cuz it wasn’t consistent enough.
      You know how hard it is to make new music every day? It’s basically impossible unless you’re just rushing out trash and that is the same predicament I found myself in. In the end I decided to take my time and not rush out content but in order to do that I pretty much had to accept my channel will never make money or go anywhere, Which sucks but hey at least I have a solid job IRL.
      For Ox, This is his full time job so it’s more important that he stays consistent to prevent his channel from going to the youtube catacombs lol

    This was absolutely my favorite quests so far. Two soldiers from not exactly current enemies but still rival factions on uncertain relations that had warred before just helping each other out of humanity and honor. Instant favorite.
    Bonus point for two things: after listening to a few sentences I recognized Torres' VA, and Cpt Myeong appears to be a Korean descendant and I'm from Korea too.

  • @mikeyunovapix7181
    @mikeyunovapix7181 9 месяцев назад +5

    A mission like this makes the starfield universe more full of hope in contrast to fallout. Instead of a near-terminal illness to society in Fallout with it full of uncertainty everywhere, starfield feels more like a relatively new interstellar civilization simply going through growing pains, and has a chance further down the line to evolve and become something even grander in the far future.

    i remember getting in to this quest by accident as i was just exploring a suitable planet to plant an outpost on. i thought it was gonna be a short quest to clear some spacers or pirates out. little did i know it would be one of the best side quests. i was also pleasantly surprised to see the myeong and her ship much later after this quest when i was in a random asteroid belt destroying them for resources/minerals and we had a quick chat over coms and we had a short convo and she thanked me again over what we did for her and her crew. i haven't beaten the game yet so i hope to see her again in a future mission or dlc.

    So you can approach this quest from the Free Star Rangers if you’ve joined them. Each of the companions have different dialogue, and there is also a random encounter with Myeong later on depending on choices. That’s just what I’ve discovered so far.

  • @kikiseo3595
    @kikiseo3595 9 месяцев назад +8

    The good thing about this game is both factions have layers, UC isn't as "evil villains" as freestar tries to portray them, nor is Freestar the innocent victims they like to portray, infact during the armistice quest you can catch the freestar ambassador plotting to get rid of one of the UC sitting council members by killing them

  • @bartholemeowthefirst
    @bartholemeowthefirst 9 месяцев назад +8

    Arguably one of the greater storylines, especially if youre freestar ranger responding to it.
    In fact, because of this mission, I roleplayed my Ranger character working with the UC vanguard as a sort of olive branch aproach from the Freestar Collective, to further the bonds made on this mission. And of course those of you who played that storyline must know how that went.

  • @KnightShadowsong
    @KnightShadowsong 9 месяцев назад +3

    There is an expression I think this mission brings great truth too: "War brings out the worst in humanity, but the Best, in a Few exceptional individuals" at the end of the day no matter what flag you stand under, or what uniform you wear, we are all human, letting yourself dehumanize someone else just because of a uniform or a flag is perhaps the worst thing a person can do. Even in the darkest of times, Humanity is stronger when we band together. I think no story brings more truth to the example that this mission sets then this, in WW2 a B17 bomber had become separated from it's flight group and a single German plane was sent to destroy it, when the German pilot (I cant remember his name) saw the badly mauled Bomber he couldn't believe that it was even still flying, he could see the crew inside watching him, totally out of ammo and at his mercy, he was in the perfect position to shoot the plane down, but in that moment he couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger, he pulled up on the side of the bomber and lead it safely back to allied lines, giving the bomber pilot a salute before he broke off and returned for home, when he got back he informed his commander the bomber had succumbed to it's wounds and crashed into the sea. he kept that secret for the whole of the rest of the war and about 10 years after that, it was only when he decided to start reaching out that word reached the Bombers pilot that a German fighter pilot was searching for the captain of a B17 that he'd escorted back to allied lines. The two met for the second time in Germany, not as enemies but as soldiers. The two became friends, with the German Pilot even being best man at the Bomber Captains wedding. The two remained close friends until they both passed away in 1998.
    I think you can see the similarities to this story. but it's stories like this or moments in games that restore my faith in humanity a little bit.

There was no corrupt asshole that understaffed, or a lack of weapons due to budget cuts, or an inepr defense commander that did silly tactics. This was just a group of people that got over run. Normal scientist just doing normal world style research got killed because spacers like shooting guns. It's a lot heavier in Starfield cause there's no "karmic justice" feeling
