Hard to believe the freestar defeated the uc, just by looking at their cities and military
The more I hear about the uc the more i understand it must be destroyed for its crimes. To bad that won't be possible.
Man Id love a DLC for the Colony Wars
Explains as well my mech parts are contraband
Now I know why mech parts are contraband. Neat!
Huh who would have thought… a big self important government sees a union of free people with little in the way of big government and decides that's a threat to the government then invades. Even in fiction big government hates free people just living their lives.
for how "diverse" this universe trys to be with its goofy pronouns and populations made up of folks with every skin and hair color of the rainbow its weird that its 2 major factions are just 2 different flavors of space americans. You have the space new york and space texas and thats it. So much for diversity lol
I still remeber i was walkng through the UC museum and then stopped and wa slike i will wait for a youtube lore video…… and here i am
I would love a Mech DLC, where you can build one on your own.
I dunno some heavy alien attack happened and because of that they need to reactivate mechs to destroy it. Maybe some rare alien species or whatever.
Would be so dang cool. And it would make planetary exploration better too, because you're faster.
Man space cowboy just kept getting mollywhoped
The BattleTech nerd in me almost squee'd when I first entered the mech factory. I almost feel robbed of an experience by mechs not being actively in the game. Oh well. At least I still have the ship builder.
5:38 😢😢😢Shame we can't buy, create, or drive one of the mech
Here for more SF content! Thanks friend!
I've seen a lot of people get butthurt about the UC declaring war over a 'silly farm'.
Guys, that's not just a farm. You need people to work it, infrastructure to support it, ships to supply it. If its flying Freestar colors, that's a colony, AKA a violation of the Treaty. The UC tried to resolve it diplomatically. The Collective pushed them away without even trying to compromise.
That's war.
Your channels about to explode.
Nice video! I'd love to be able to experience the Colony War like we were able to simulate Operation Anchorage in Fallout 3
I loving Starfield but the world building is a bit weak first why are mechs outlawed but autonomous robot are not. Why would any of these factions give up there military secrets and put them in new Atlantas that’s like the US putting there nuclear launch codes in Moscow. Lastly why would any of these factions go to war when all these planets have one city and nothing but untamed wilderness
would love to see more starfield lore vids!❤
I would not be surprised if one of the dlcs we get in the future is a mech dlc
Yea man great vid. Without giving too much away in terms of story. I married Sarah Morgan. I had to take her to the memorial to..mourn. was one of the coolest video game experiences i have had.
My new favorite headcannon is that Terrormorphs are a new Genestealer Variant, and it is only some unknown, yet impending amount of time before the first tendrils of the Hive Mind arrive to consume the Settled Systems.
Thank you! while i picked up some and there in the game and read the time line they gave us, it's still overwelming (for me then) So im verry greatfull that you made this. Its a lot easier to remember when someone talks about it i found out. So again thanks 💜
More starfield lore please!!
I hope a new war pops off in a DLC. Same with a house Varuun story
The lore makes it seem like millions died in these wars. But I go to the UC war memorial I see like 20 names of the dead 😑
I may be the only one with this opinion, but I kinda wish we WEREN'T able to join every faction in the game. Doesn't really make sense to that you're able to join the Vanguard and the Freestar Rangers seeing how they're opposing military factions, or join the Rangers and the Crimson Fleet because i feel like someone would recognize me as part of those factions, I understand that it's nice not being tied down, but I personally like role playing lol
Awesome vid, I love more indepth looks into the lore or past of games or shows.
Bethesda still remain the kings at making new lore.
Yes like make audio books
Lmao UC makes the ultimate killing machines, so the fair agreement is to also ban walking tanks.
They missed a trick not putting a customisable mech in the game for traversing wide open areas.
Can you visit the city that the terramorphs attacked?
I really enjoyed this type of lore on the game. As someone who has not been able to purchase the game yet, this is exactly what I'm looking for. An understanding without spoilers.
I feel like battle mechs are far less nefarious than genetically engineering brainwashed killer aliens that will later go and reproduce wildly years after the war ends. Kinda like self-replicating landmines that seek people out
