Starfield Has a “Lot of Factions”, “Kind of Like Skyrim” in Structure – Todd Howard

Regarding Constellation, the group that players join from the outset, Howard said, “The game is set about 300 plus years in our own future. And Constellation is this kind of last group of space explorers. It’s like NASA meets Indiana Jones meets the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a group of people that are still searching for answers.”

Of course, this is a Bethesda title so Constellation isn’t the only faction kicking around in space. “There are a lot of factions in the game but that’s the main one that you’ll become a part of. It’s kind of like Skyrim in terms of the structure of the game, where you’re going to be who you want to be, and then there’s different factions that you can join, and really carve your own path,” said Howard.
