Todd Howard, Starfield Game Director; He has offered information on what we can expect from the more than a thousand planets that we will be able to visit in this space adventure. Those who expected that there would be life on all planets seem to have expected too much because it has confirmed that the experience will be quite lonely at many points.
Howard states that "around the 10%» of the more than 1000 planets in the game will have life. This is because Bethesda «try to capture the magnificent desolation of the universe«.
There will be no life on the vast majority of Starfield planets
This statement happened in a recent episode of today's Espaitec's Kinda Funny Xcastm when the question of the game's many, many procedurally generated planets came up. When asked how much crafting content there would be on those planets and if players would have much to do, Howard replied: "No way are we creating an entire planet by hand«.
Instead, Bethesda «has created individual locations and some of them are placed specifically"Regarding cities and locations associated with missions, he continued that they have a set of them that are generated or placed when you land depending on that planet. Howard points out that the fact that 10% of the planets in Starfield harbor life makes the game quite busy scientifically. "About 10% of those planets have life. We're pushing the limits of what people think about, which planets are in that Goldilocks Zone (a zone that's just the right point so it's not too cold or too hot for life) versus planets that have resources.
They're going to spawn certain things for us to find on barren planets, but if you look at a planet, we're going to see that it's desolate. Howard thinks it will be beautiful when we get there and feel like we're the only ones alive there, something that was represented in many No Man's Sky plans.
