Starfield tips: 5 essential ideas to help you get started
If you're jumping into Starfield with help from the early access period, you might be wondering what you're actually meant to do in the game.
After all, once you've picked up your spaceship, there's nothing much to stop you from flying off and having random adventures away from the main story.
Wondering what to do first in Starfield? We'd recommend hanging out on New Atlantis for a bit to learn the ropes, picking up a few side missions and getting to grips with all the controls.
You'll probably start getting itchy feet after an hour or two, at which point we'd recommend picking any random off-world mission and just throwing yourself into it.
The Vanguard storyline that you pick up at MAST on New Atlantis is quite a good first thing to do.
And don't forget to loop back around to the main story missions at some point, which you can find in a separate tab of your mission menu at any time.

Once you've installed the game, you'll probably want to rush in and start loads of exciting adventures. But we'd encourage you to take your time and actually read every single different option on the character creation menu.
This is your first chance to really put your stamp on your character. We chose to have an Industrialist background because that was the one that came with perks that would allow us to persuade better in conversations (and, in a lot of cases, avoid combat altogether).
But if you're the kind of person that loves combat, or any other particular part of what Starfield is offering, look for a background and traits that will kind of beef you up in those ways.
