Starfield is a huge, dense game that – for better and worse – does not inundate you with tutorials in the beginning. Here are some things that will be helpful to know before starting.

While I personally enjoy finding all this naturally on my own, there are some items on this list I wish I knew about a little earlier compared to when I found out. Like Hot-keying weapons and aid took me a little bit to realize on Xbox, I also haven’t gotten as far in the main mission as they suggest, so who knows, everyone has different styles on how they play.
