With an accompanying 44-page document to boot
One eagle-eyedStarfieldfan has apparently spent around 200 hours stitching together what could be thegame’s entire skill treeusing previously released footage of Bethesda’s epic spaceRPG. I’m not actually sure whether you can be a “Starfieldfan” before the game releases, but this budding detective is at least a fan of the trailers, featurettes, and theStarfield Direct. Come and see what they’ve come up with.
Over on the Starfield subreddit, sleuth user asd8dhdposteda patchwork image of what they think might be every single skill in the game. That’s a level of dedication that I can only dream about, because anyone capable of such a feat has to have maxed-out organisation stats. That’s clearly on show, as they alsopublishedan accompanying 44-page document that outlines their evidence, explaining how levelling up works, and detailing every ability.
The Google document even places over 60 skills into different branches such as physical, social, combat, science, and tech. There are apparently also four tiers for every skill, as you upgrade them from the low Novice level, going up to the final Master tier.
Just imagine how many times they replayed every single clip to compile this. Imagine the hours spent fast-forwarding over a Todd Howard monologue. Imagine the sleepless nights spent frantically scribbling notes andmaking connectionslike something out of a coffee-fuelled detective mystery. I’m not even sure that I’ve spent 200 hours actually playing any Bethesda RPG (sorry, Todd), let alone looking at adverts for them. But I admire their commitment, at least.
One commenter pointed out that another online detective has compiled aStarfield planet navigator, which is essentially an in-progress map showing every explorable planet. God, I love and hate the internet.
Starfield launches very soon on September 6th on PC, Xbox, and Game Pass, so we’ll get an official look at the skills, and menus, and more very soon. We already have details on the game’scompanions,pillow talk,cursed spacecraft building, andthe returning fan from Oblivion, just in case you were still thirsty for more details. Otherwise, feel free to spend weeks compiling every single rock variant shown so far.
