Starfield Fallen Footsteps guide – How to deal with the Phantomhttps://dotesports.com/starfield/news/starfield-fallen-footsteps-guidehttps://dotesports.com/starfield/news/starfield-fallen-footsteps-guide#respondThu, 03 Oct 2024 14:40:04 +0000https://dotesports.com/?p=1355470Phantom of the Opera.]]>

Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC has new adventures waiting around every corner. While the main story will take up a large chunk of your time, there are other side quests to complete, including the Fallen Footsteps quest that channels your inner ghost hunter.

This Shattered Space quest is received at the House of Healing from Vassilis Voria, though it is only unlocked if you complete his previous quest, Lost and Found, and starts relatively simple enough. You’re tasked with dealing with a Vortex Phantom at an Orphanage, with the location marked on your map.

How to dock a ship in Starfieldhttps://dotesports.com/starfield/news/how-to-dock-a-ship-in-starfieldWed, 02 Oct 2024 21:18:01 +0000https://dotesports.com/?p=950981Docking ships in Starfield is an easy process, but one that isn't thoroughly explained in-game]]>

Starfield is all about deep space exploration, so you can be sure there will be plenty of traveling around the galaxy in your spaceship. Eventually, you’ll need to dock your ship to resupply, turn in quests, and explore every nook and cranny the galaxy has to offer.

Docking in Starfield refers to when you want to connect your ship to a staryard, space station, or other ships, which you’ll need to do if you want to engage in some hijacking. It can be a tricky process, though, and while there’s a brief tutorial on how to do so, you might come across a side quest that requires you to dock another ship before you’ve learned the ropes. Or, if you’re like me, you simply forgot what the game taught you and need a bit of a refresher.

Starfield Exhuming the Past guide – Should you remove the remaining interlock or exit the dam?https://dotesports.com/starfield/news/starfield-exhuming-the-past-guide-should-you-remove-the-remaining-interlock-or-exit-the-damhttps://dotesports.com/starfield/news/starfield-exhuming-the-past-guide-should-you-remove-the-remaining-interlock-or-exit-the-dam#respondTue, 01 Oct 2024 21:22:14 +0000https://dotesports.com/?p=1354214You can leave the facility alone, or bring ruin to a nearby farm for science.]]>

You have to make multiple decisions as you play through Starfield‘s Shattered Space DLC and make your way to House Va’ruun’s homeworld. One of the main quests, Exhuming the Past, requires you to decide either to take a final interlock or leave a dam.

The choice could seem minor in the moment at the end of Exhuming the Past’s quest story, but it’s critical to characters within the larger story. You’ll have a chance to grab the final piece from this location, or you can choose to leave peacefully, allowing those to remain inside the dam while also preventing any further consequences for a nearby farm. Here’s what you need to know about if you should grab the final interlock, or if you should exit the dam for Exhuming the Past in Starfield.

Starfield Shattered Space patch notes: All of the biggest changeshttps://dotesports.com/starfield/news/starfield-shattered-space-patch-notes-all-of-the-biggest-changeshttps://dotesports.com/starfield/news/starfield-shattered-space-patch-notes-all-of-the-biggest-changes#respondMon, 30 Sep 2024 20:49:13 +0000https://dotesports.com/?p=1353205Shattered Space was followed by a substantial update addressing the game's many issues. ]]>

Starfield‘s first expansion Shattered Space is out, and alongside it came a new massive patch that addressed the game’s many issues. Here are the most important changes the Shattered Space patch introduced to Bethesda’s flagship title.

Biggest changes in Starfield’s Shattered Space patch

Performance should get a bit better

Right off the bat the patch notes, shared on Steam, give us a glimpse into what’s probably the most important part of any Bethesda game’s update: performance changes. While Bethesda didn’t clarify much as to what precisely they changed performance-wise, we know the developers made “general” improvements to the game’s technical side, focused on numerous visual bugs, enhanced lighting, and made the game more stable. Bethesda titles are known for poor performance and technical problems, so it’s always welcome to see the company work hard to make its games as stable and well-running as possible.
