It is quite easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of things to do in Starfield. You can be walking through the plaza in New Atlantis, pass a pair of NPCs talking about something and the next thing you know you have a new mission to complete. As with most video games, there is a hierarchy of importance when it comes to the various tasks you are asked to undertake. Players may feel obliged to focus upon the main story during their initial first six hours or so. Such a strategy usually provides players with an overview of the game’s mechanics as well as providing some essential items such as gear. But it can feel a little smothering to have content continuously added to your mission journal. Especially if you’re the sort of player that likes to impose structure upon your gaming and likes to undertake tasks in an orderly and methodical fashion.
