A trio of animated shorts just released “offer a glimpse into three of the major cities in the Settled Systems” in Starfield.
Follow a delivery pilot in New Atlantis seeking the exciting life of the elite; a stranded orphan looking for a way out of Akila City; and two street rats struggling to survive in the underbelly of Neon.
SUPRA ET ULTRA
In the city of New Atlantis, capital of the United Colonies, Kent, a courier pilot, aspires to live in the most desirable part of the settled systems. After joining the UC Vanguard and working his way up to the Capital’s elite, Kent quickly realizes the adventures waiting for him off-planet are what he truly longed for.
WHERE HOPE IS BUILT
Vanna—an Akila City orphan of the famous Colony Wars—desperately wants to explore the stars and only one thing stands in her way: a broken ship. Her search for repair parts leads her throughout the city, and into some unexpected danger, as she closes in on her dream.
THE HAND THAT FEEDS
Two Neon street rats, Ada and Harper, are partners in crime eking out a living stealing from the wealthy partygoers that come to the “pleasure city” to let loose. When Ada is forced into a moral dilemma, she quickly catches the attention of the all-seeing Ryujin Industries, bringing her an exciting new opportunity. But at what cost?
Really like the storyboard-esque art style and the amazing characterisations in all three of these. And I can see them being expanded, together with others, into a proper animated anthology series. I reckon Netflix would love Starfield Stories: An Animated Anthology.
Now I want to see some of these animated scenes replicated using in-game assets and locations.

Is anyone here who is going to play it on PC steam and is willing to help me get a copy if I pay you for a memory stick and postnet it to me? Downloading this will take me over a week.

Willing to help in any way, but I won’t be getting it on Steam.

Same as Beo - would be more than happy to help, but it’s going to be a Game Pass install for me. And with the weird protect folder/hidden file way that Xbox game installs have, I doubt even trying to use them and doing the Verify Files thing in Steam will work.

I’m getting day 1. My internet is poo poo though.
Maybe set pc to autostart in bios, and windows to autologin, the steam to auto startup, and downloads uncapped, and let it run free?
Or day trip with pc to friend with gigabits interwebs

Didn’t they change their weird protected installation folder story to a more traditional installation? I think I saw an article on it somewhere and if I look at my PC, on the F Drive I have a XboxGames folder with the last games that I installed (not protected or anything).

Now that you mention it, you’re 100% correct - it has been changed. I wonder if it’ll work? Will have a look for something small on Game Pass that I own on Steam and give it a try.

Starfield will be released as a Play Anywhere title.
So those fortunate to have an Xbox X|S console can continue playing their game save on PC, and vice versa.

Nice combat footage

I hate aesthetic blur in games. That graphics setting needs to die. Combat looks decent. 
I mean, are we really going to expect Bethesda to make a game, that has on good combat?

The marketing ramp up continues… Nice lore timeline released on the Starfield site yesterday:
Full Starfield backstory timeline
| Starfield Timeline | |
|---|---|
| 2050 A.D. | Humans first arrive on Mars. By 2100, humans are living in space. |
| 2156 A.D. | Humans arrive in Alpha Centauri (4.37 light year years away from Earth). |
| 2159 A.D. | The United Colonies are established. |
| 2160 A.D. | New Atlantis is founded and becomes the official capital of the United Colonies in 2161. |
| 2167 A.D. | Cheyenne is settle by Solomon Coe, who founds its first settlement, Akila City. |
| 2188 A.D. | Coe invites Volii to join Cheyenne in a new alliance - The Freestar Collective. The Freestar Collective is officially formed in 2189. |
| 2194 A.D. | The United Colonies position the star station called the Clinic in orbit around Deepla in the Narion system. The unaffiliated peoples of the Narion system see this as a UC attempt to expand their borders and demand the UC remove the Clinic. When the UC refuses, the people of Narion vote to join the Freestar Collective, who mobilize to protect the system in 2195. |
| 2196 A.D. | In response to Freestar mobilization, the UC moves a fleet into the Narion system and Freestar responds in kind. The Narion War begins. |
| 2216 A.D. | The Narion War drags on as public sentiment sours. Finally, the Treaty of Narion is signed by the UC and Freestar Collective in 2216, ending the conflict. The term “Settled Systems” is formalized in the treaty. |
| 2221 A.D. | The Freestar Rangers are founded as an elite protective and investigative force dedicated to serving all citizens of the Freestar Collective. |
| 2275 A.D. | Constellation is formed by Sebastian Banks. Original members include Chloe Bao, accomplished physicist; Aja Mamasa, the youngest member and Sebastian’s protégé; Darius Andris, botanist and specialist in the xeno-flora; Bernadette Laurent, wealthy heiress and adventurer; Everado Gil, former smuggler; and Kadri Toma, biologist and physician. The Lodge is built in New Atlantis to serve the needs and people of Constellation for generations to come. |
| 2305 A.D. | Barrett joins Constellation. |
| 2307 A.D. | The Freestar Collective begins farming on the planet of Vesta in the Lunara system. By 2308 the United Colonies claims that by establishing a colony in a fourth system, the Freestar Collective has violated the Treaty of Narion. Diplomatic talks break down and the UC lays siege to Vesta, killing anyone who stayed behind (or was brought in) to defend it. The Colony War officially begins. |
| 2310 A.D. | Constellation comes into possession of their first Artifact and tucks it away in the Constellation archives. |
| 2311 A.D. | After several years of conflict, the Colony War effectively comes to an end with the Battle of Cheyenne as a flotilla of civilian and military Freestar Collective ships takes down the major ships of the UC Navy using hit-and-run tactics. |
| 2315 A.D. | The UC Vanguard is founded as part of a UC response to the Freestar Collective’s use of civilian ships during the Colony War. The Vanguard is the UC’s own civilian navy, relying on civilians using their own ships, who pledged to protect the United Colonies and its interests. The ultimate reward for this service: citizenship in the United Colonies. |
| 2319 A.D. | Sarah Morgan becomes the youngest head of the UC Navigator Corps, though it’s a short-lived position as the division is shut down in 2320. Cast adrift, but still eager to put her training to good use, Morgan joins Constellation. |
| 2321 A.D. | Walter Stroud — co-owner of Stroud-Ecklund, one of the Settled Systems’ premier starship manufacturers — joins Constellation and becomes its primary financial backer. |
| 2322 A.D. | Former Crimson Fleet pirate Vladimir Sall joins Constellation. |
| 2325 A.D. | Sarah Morgan becomes acting Chair of Constellation. |
| 2325 A.D. | Theologian Matteo Khatri joins Constellation. |
| 2326 A.D. | Barrett finds the original Artifact in the Constellation archives and knows it must be special. |
| 2327 A.D. | Freestar Ranger Sam Coe and his daughter Cora join Constellation. |
| 2328 A.D. | Andreja joins Constellation. |
| 2328 A.D. | Barrett convinces Constellation to purchase Starstation L-868 and modify it to become a deep space scanner, nicknamed “The Eye.” |
| 2330 A.D. | Starfield begins. |
(I genuinely started typing this all out before thinking I should check if someone hadn’t already done so. Thanks Windows Central.)
Still no indication of what happened to drive humans to abandon Earth yet. My money is still on climate catastrophe creating a World Water War which leads to global thermonuclear war. I would love to see some Great War / Fallout related easter eggs in the game.

Maybe it was a dragon break that forced them to leave the planet
