Starfield continues, as we finally get round to investigating the Starborn and the Unity, starting off with a jaunt around the churches of New Atlantis, and ending up on a ship that I will do anything to obtain…

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned the magsniper requires you to hold to charge to do max damage. If it feels like it isn’t doing as much as it says it does that’s why. I didn’t know that until far too long ago
Ok in general I liked Starfield but the main story for me was terrible. I figured out the multiverse thing way before this point and to me the entire story seems like it is there solely as a way for the new game plus to make sense. Am I really the only one who didn't care for it but liked the rest of the game?
Keep an eye open on the moon. There are NASA mugs to be found.
That’s a bad ass little sniper rifle
I really appreciate Jon actively avoiding spoilers so we can see his honest reactions and theory crafting mid story. Goodness knows I come up with wild theories before I spoil myself because I can't help myself!
Leave it up to a giant media conglomerate to push hokey pseudo science. Sigh.
Im kinda glad Starfield didn’t make ancient precursor aliens the main antagonists, it would’ve been all too easy to just pull the “you’re not enlightened enough to understand our fancy artifacts” every encounter.
Here it’s just alternate versions of characters we’d know fighting over scraps of an ancient precursor race.
Strange. My landing spot was on the little Scorpion island. I didn't have to cross the water.
Four degrees North, 120 degrees East 0r West. No, you're right, that's not actually enough, we didn't get the North or the West!
Why is anyone still pretending to play this garbage
This Pilgrim sounds an awful lot like a Time Lord.
Day 27/1230 of requesting Jon play a game nobody will remember, like Majesty: A Fantasy Kingdom Sim. Was gonna throw in a Portal 2 for space, but Jon's already done that. So….. What about a Space RTS game like Conquest: Frontier Wars?
Could always cheese the ship kills requirement by going back to Sarah's funeral and while you're at the UC headquarters doing the combat simulator.
Hey Jon , thank you for always posting videos that brighten my day. You are always such a positive YouTube, and i know that must be draining. This is truly a series i will always stop to watch when i see it, so thank you for bringing us along on your adventures.
Skyrim had broader mortality of their companions than this game, which is sad.
So! Fun fact!
If you get to talk to The Emmisary before any of your companions die, as in you made it to the puzzles and did them (which is unlikely but not impossible as you can stumble upon the puzzles because they are not locked behind anything) then the dead companion is a standard NPC.
I find this hilarious and a big oversight for the people who did stumble upon this mission.
Entry 28 command and conquer Jon
The Dagger was a very nice ship that you decided to not take :p
Man, Daft Punk got edgy when they went to space.
if the locaction is exactly at a main longtitude and latitude two numbers would be enough.
Btw, you walked past him but the Hunter stands in the bar in New Atlantis very early in the game and you can have a very cryptic little chat with him.
Oooh, the moon mission and what follows was one of the highlights of this quest chain, I cant wait to see Jon witness it 🙂
The Unity is just a New Game Plus plot contrivance. But honestly, screw playing through the game again, once was enough for me. Plus i didn't spend hundreds of hours collecting credits, gear and building ships, just to lose it all.
45:39 – Wait, does that mean that this universe's Keeper Aquilus is the damn pilgrim?! Never noticed that before!
That pilgrim riddle reminds me of the riddles from the 60s Batman. Like. Blind luck and stupidity are the solution for some reason.
"[…] a ship that I will do anything to obtain."
Funny you should say that.
the church quest might be some of the worst designed quests in BGS history. You dont actually find out anything and the "priest" could have solved it himself
The Starborn are indeed a satire or lampoon of the players of a massiveley multiplayer game. I wonder how much the experience of fallout 76 and the antics of players in that game influenced their characterisation. That meta commentary is intriguing, but still the main story of Starfield does not seem that great.
so what happens when a non-starborn enters the unity?
does the starborn just get stuck and die off?
Just a thought, how long before Jon realizes he might of missed Sarah's funeral, while talking to multiverse Sarah..
Another multiverse, shocking..
Is the emissary just Jason Bright? Those were some good rockets Repconn made
On Earth, the coordinates 4 and 120 would put you in the Celebes Sea outside of Indonesia. At a quick bit of head math, it represents an area 100×100 km. Depending on how good your scanners are, that's a much smaller area to search for something artificial than a whole planet.
The big problem is that the 120 means 120 degrees east of Greenwich, UK. There's no Greenwich on Indum II, so how did you decide where to put the prime meridian? And does the modern interstellar civilization use the same one as the ancient wanderer at the founding of the old religions.
now that you have Barrett, you should go back tot he sulfur mine to see what he has to say about it
I love how the episode starts with Jon being really careful about having just 5 days before a thing he has to do, and ends with him having forgotten all about it.
So it's basically an in-universe way to explain NG+ keeping your upgrades when restarting the game, I guess.
15:29 – sure sounds like even Jon is getting fed up with the poor writing in this game.
How have you got so much out of this game? I got bored of it really fast after my first playthrough
I don’t even pay that much attention to this series and I recognized that was Keeper Aquilus.Weird because I’m not the best with human faces, let alone NPC’s.
This one of the most interesting stories of this game so far. Mostly I find it boring and watch because Jon is just entertaining regardless.
28:30 I literally clapped
TL;DR: Plot scrutiny and confusion
48:00 – 48:49
So the main plot of Starfield, is the Meta of the player being the protagonist, winning, and starting a new game or "new game+", in order to see different dialogue options or story branches?
48:50 – 49:14
But wait! If you die in some of the universes, do you mean that universes version of "you" died, and you-you arrived after that? Or do you (*as a starperson) become that universes version of "you" when you-you enter that universe? -and do you (as a starperson) just respawn in a new universe if/when you die?
How can he have experienced universes where he died, and still be here? Unless he is his own original universe's protagonist, who won, and started new game+, and when he dies he reloads a save, or starts an entirely new game with his player/protagonist powers.
Jon, you needed the star map not just the constellation because the scorpius constellation is based on a view of the stars from earth, where no one has been for a couple centuries. so while your character might have recognized 'this is a constellation that looks like a scorpion' the stars that made up that constellation probably aren't as well known anymore since the constellation can only be seen from a planet that is no longer inhabited
Your reaction to Sarah made me laugh so hard
I LOVE the writing in this game when it comes to the individual people and their small stories
But the various ways one story leads into another story is so damn flimsy and straight up suspends my belief at times
I still really really like this game and think most of the hate is silly, but it's wild how the writing can be AMAZING at times for quests and then make little sense on the way there.
I’ve always found it weird how the ideal way of leveling up by “exploration” is to poach the local wildlife. Not only is it like at least 50 xp a go, it also scans them as they die.
@ManyATrueNerd
Assuming that 4 & 120 are considered to be Latitude and Longitude, with no decimal places; then that puts you within 111km to 43.5km of accuracy (depending on how far from the equator it is). With the kind of advanced tech they have here in the game world, that's more than enough to put you in the ballpark to do a local scan of the area to pinpoint what you want once there.
Is it just me or does the Keeper look like Walter, right down to the enormous, creepy as fuck smile.
15:30 Jon, you are 100% percent right. Since I kinda doubt you stumble upon it…
Keeper is full of shit. He knew EXACTLY where the "grave" was. He just send you on a wild goose chase.
