Do Constellation NPCs (e.g. the four you can romance) still turn on you if you kill the leader of a crew holding a hostage or attacking your ship?
So there’s been this bug since launch, and it’s been reported to Bethesda several times through official channels, and they never cared about it for like a year (up to Shattered Space) and they just did not seem to care. You would get a misc. quest (e.g. through the Akila City bounty board, or you could happen upon it in space) and there would be a crew of pirates (or sometimes the snake guys, or spacers, or any other enemy faction) and you would have to rescue the ship’s crew. You could kill all the bad guys, but if you killed their leader — which was the trigger to complete the side quest — every member of Constellation would turn on you, saying you disappointed them and you had to go apologise to each one of them. And then if you did it a second time, they would not forgive you.
I did all 240 temples to maximise all 24 Starborn powers. I must have done Vanguard 7-8 times, pirates 5-6 times (mostly for the pirates but sometimes for the other faction), rangers 4-5 times, and the Deus Ex inspired shit show faction twice. I forget their name. They’re on Neon City, but passing by any advertisement booth will trigger the quest line to start. Best gun is obviously the one at the end of the pirate quest, but even the standard, unnamed one is nearly as good, and my first stop was always to Neon to steal it out of the shop, because why pay for it when you can go invisible and take it off the wall? Then they nerfed invisibility but still refused to fix the Constellation faction bug. That sucked.
One comment says Starfield is Todd Howard’s baby, but the impression I got was that the game existed to sell paid mods and that Bethesda really did not give two shits about the game. Meanwhile, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition came out like a decade prior, goes on sale for six bucks all the time, and is a far better story, and game. I am a sucker for the shooting in Bethesda games, and Starfield is no exception. I own Shattered Space on Xbox, but not the base game (I played it on GamePass). Still might pick it up if it goes on sale low enough. I don’t even really hate Starfield, I just wish Bethesda cared about it as much as some of the fans. And not even the crazy ones saying you’re a fool (or something else bad) if you don’t see the genius… I just mean people who enjoy Starfield. I wish they liked it that much. I wish they cared about those fans.
