Game Log | Starfield – 006 🎮🚀
I have held off on publishing this game log entry for a long time, because I couldn't write it in a spoiler free manner. This entry deals with a major story-line spoiler. I can redact some details and hide them behind a link, but I cannot remove most of the content, because otherwise this game log would not make any sense. So, readers be warned. This post contains major plot-line spoilers.
Character Name: Edgewater Class: Soldier Playthrough: 1st
Uhm… we just got attacked by the Starborn. <See spoiler...> is dead. The Starborn Hunter attacked The Eye first, then came into The Lodge. We had to run away with the artifacts. The Hunter actually decided to let us go. We used the opportunity to try and help everyone at The Eye. Everyone survived except <See spoiler...>. I kinda feel like its my fault.
I should have stopped going on all those missions to get those artifacts. At first, I could get the artifacts with no opposition. But eventually, a Starborn would show up right in front of an artifact to try and fight us. A Starborn also started showing up after getting powers from those temples. I started feeling uneasy about going after more artifacts, but I also believe that was the only way to draw them out. Well, we did draw them out, and they hit us hard and now <See spoiler...> is dead.
I wonder if me deciding to defend The Lodge and the artifacts, instead of flying to The Eye to help them, is what got <See spoiler...> killed. I should have decided to defend The Eye isntead. We didn't do much defending of The Lodge anyway. All we did was run away and get people killed. And now a part of New Atlantis is destroyed in the process.
Flying to The Eye after the attack on New Atlantis...
On my next playthrough, I'm definitely going to The Eye to try and save <See spoiler...>
This has actually affected me more than I thought it would. I was trying to distance myself from <See spoiler...> because things were getting a little too cozy, and that character was starting to rely on me heavily. Turns out, that was the game developer's way of foreshadowing; something was going to happen to that companion, which explains the behavior. Anyway, now I definitely need to know what the Starborn are, what they are after, why they are doing what they are doing, and how to fight back. Can't lose any more people to them.
I went to the UC Security Office to talk to the Va'ruun prisoner to help find out more about this Unity thing. I ended up talking to Sergeant Yumi. Not sure if I wasn't supposed to, but this guy pretty much gave me no choice but to go with him.
Then I get interrogated by this Commander Ikande because “I committed some crimes”. This guy wants me to go undercover in the Crimson Fleet. Why? They didn't even tell me what crimes I've committed. I'm trying to find out more about the Starborn and Unity to stop other people in Constellation from getting killed, and here comes this commander who can't get his job done on his own, tries to blackmail me into going undercover so he can take the Crimson Fleet down. I refused because I was being coerced, as opposed to being asked for help. And I still don't know what crimes I committed to justify them blackmailing me like that.
So refusing this commander's offer got me sent to a prison in Cydonia. Apparently I spent 5 days in prison and lost 500XP. I also am now an enemy of UC SysDef?! Like what the eff! I refused the offer because I didn't want to do it. How did that instantly make me an enemy of the UC SysDef department? It's crazy. If that's the case, I might as well join the Crimson Fleet if the UC SysDef is going to hunt me down.
So after getting out of jail, I go back to New Atlantis to talk to the Va'ruun prisoner. Sergeant Yumi is still there. I talk to him to ask if I can talk to the prisoner, but no such option exists. And the guy acts like he's never seen me at all. Freaking forgot he made me follow him without giving me any choice. This part of the game is broken.
Then I try to see how to talk to prisoner. There is a hallway that says “Security Staff Only”. Since no one was talking to me about the prisoner, I thought I'd walk in there, but I was fully expecting the security personel to get mad, because I am not “Security Staff”. But no, no one pays attention and I was able to walk by myself into the prison without anyone batting an eye. This part of the game seems broken too.
