Starfield’s Aceles May Be a Franchise Identity Key

by

Starfield, initially launched a year ago, finds itself in a challenging position regarding its long-term plans. So far, the creators, Bethesda, have yet to disclose any additional post-release strategies for their space odyssey. The initial idea was for Starfield to receive annual updates, but following the mixed reviews of the first DLC, Shattered Space, it remains uncertain if Bethesda will adjust their approach or not.

Despite receiving negative pre-release critiques and initial underperformance compared to previous Bethesda games, Starfield has not yet drawn players in as expected. Some critics have labeled the game’s world as sterile, which has left it grappling with its own identity. While there are numerous appealing aspects within Starfield, it still lacks a feature that entices players to return for more gaming sessions. As of now, it remains unknown how Bethesda intends to boost replayability; however, the enigmatic Aceles species may hold the key to Starfield‘s success.

Starfield’s ‘A Legacy Forged’ Quest Could Hold Untapped Potential

Dealing With the Galaxy’s Terramorph Threat

  • “A Legacy Forged” is the final mission players complete in the UC Vanguard questline.
  • The mission requires players to choose between two methods of dealing with Terramorphs.

The unique mission for UC Vanguard captivates players as they face a critical decision concerning the galaxy’s wildlife. They must decide whether to employ genetically-engineered Aceles, an endangered and large species, or unleash experimental Microbes that will exterminate Terramorphs. The Aceles are natural predators of Terramorphs, but their endangered state necessitates breeding interventions by UC Vanguard to prevent them from posing a threat. Regardless of the choice made by players, the objective remains eradicating the Terramorphs; however, using Aceles is considered a more natural approach to achieving this goal.

In the game “A Legacy Forged”, selecting the Aceles could pose an initial challenge due to its slower approach in handling the Terramorph menace. Yet, an unexpected advantage arises as the Aceles population multiplies rapidly, thereby speeding up the process more than initially estimated.

Bringing More Conservation and Wildlife Science to Starfield

As a dedicated gamer exploring the vast universe of Starfield, I strongly believe that the enigmatic Aceles could play a pivotal role in shaping its distinctive narrative. In the future, Starfield might delve deep into the profound implications and enticing aspects of space colonization – a tale that balances the devastating consequences with the promising rewards.

Historically, humans have contributed significantly to the endangerment of the Aceles, but the game “A Legacy Forged” underscores the potential value of reviving species on the verge of extinction to reestablish harmony within an ecosystem.

In the future, Bethesda might explore environmental themes in their games by incorporating missions where players protect and restore ecosystems, or alter wildlife for personal benefit based on their character’s ethical values, whether that involves expansion packs or a new installment of the Starfield series.

In Starfield, players might witness firsthand how everyday decisions can significantly alter environments. These seemingly trivial choices could carry significant, unseen consequences. Exploring this concept through environmental changes could prove to be a captivating journey for the player. This approach not only adds intrigue but also potentially extends the game’s lifespan. Engaging with Starfield for extended periods might become even more engaging when realizing that in-game choices lead to positive or negative outcomes over time.

Finishing the game titled “A Legacy Forged” grants players multiple perks: First-Class Citizenship, a luxurious penthouse in New Atlantis, 15,000 credits, and discounts on Colonial goods purchases.

Starfield News Could Be Around the Corner

As the Xbox Games Showcase is scheduled for June 8, it’s possible that Bethesda is preparing to unveil their future strategies regarding the game. There’s buzz about potential announcements concerning a Starfield PS5 port and its second expansion, but we’ll have to wait and see. Meanwhile, the Aceles-based mission in the UC Vanguard questline could offer some intriguing insights.
