Starfield begins with a short tutorial section, during which, players will be introduced to some of the more basic game mechanics such as movement and armed combat. They'll also get a chance to create their own character here, which not only means choosing what they'll look like, but also their skills, traits, and background; all of which can have an impact on how exactly their playthrough will unfold.
Not every in-game mechanic is explained during this section though, with players left to figure a lot of things out for themselves. Many of these are fairly intuitive and should come naturally to most players, but for those who are new to the genre, getting started in Starfield may at first seem a little daunting. This section of the guide will help to ease players in, with how-to guides, beginner tips, and answers to some of the more frequently asked questions.
