Okay silly mistake, it’s the CITY of Londinion not planet. Slip of the tongue from me I think! Anyways enjoy!
I like the Fallout quote at the beginning. It is fitting as Starfield recycled music from at least Fallout 4 and New Vegas.
Here’s a fun fact…. The colony war is the most interesting thing in Starfield … and you will never see it …the only things you will see in Starfield are thing that are not interesting …thats great game design for you
It’s ace-les not Achilles
I know it’s not the best game, but the lore seems good. Does anyone know if there will be any more videos?
“We don’t mastebate because it is easy… but because it is hard.” RFK 2025
United Colonies = Ultra California, Freestar Collective = Mega Texas
Heyyyy. Guys. Does any one else. Have the MANTIS. SHIP , AND ARMOUR. apart from me. , 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
How did they explore space if they’re loading screens everywhere you go.🤔
This game should be online
So happy to see an actual lore video. Definitely watching more
Electric Boogaloo?! Lol. You just dated yourself friend. Lol
I think it would’ve been cool if there was a storyline that involved the idea of a 2nd Colony War.
With the option of siding with the UC and defeating both the FreeStar Collective along with the Kryx Pirates.
Siding with the FreeStar Collective and defeating both the UC and Kryx Pirates.
Siding with the Kryx Pirates to wipe out both the FreeStar Collective and the UC.
Along with an option for both the UC and FreeStar collective working together against the Kryx Pirates.
Or avoiding a total 2nd Colony War entirely.
Definitely should be a DLC for Starfield and should be completely Free of course.
Other DLC Ideas such as:
A Bioshock underwater city of Rapture type of DLC, including a new city that needs to be cleared and rebuilt before making a brand new major city, along with having new ideas such as adding more Alien Marine Life and more.
A DLC involving the the search for other intelligent Alien civilization within the galaxy, but also maybe doing some multiverse, dimension bending adventure involving maybe Aliens from other universes.
A DLC involving discovering and creating advanced bioengineering technology to terraform moons and other planets into more earth like new homes.
A DLC involving the search of answers to how Humanity was born, created, more like a Prometheus type of storyline and adventure with mystery and discovering the origins of not just Humanity but life itself.
A DLC involving how to save colonies from an incoming Blackhole and exploring the catastrophic event of a Black Hole.
A DLC involving the main character attempting to return back into the original universe throughout the Multiverse, to reunite with his or her original friends, love interests, and much more, but also doing more Multiverse stuff.
Thank you for the video
More Starfield pls
I love this game and it’s great to see a Starfield community beginning to emerge after all the negativity.
This video makes me miss starfield. I never actually beat the game but I’m OP as hell. I tend to get bored of games when they cease to be difficult, I of course play on the absolute maximum difficulty even using mods to make it harder, cyberpunk man that’s just where the combat is at, but I would like to wrap up the starfield legacy, never even did a new game plus
I played systems until i found cyberpunk. I’m shocked at how short this video actually is. I kindly request a deeper dive into starfield lore.
I tried to play a Freestar native named Freeman cyberneticist but it is very hard. The game is designed for exploration not role play.
Cheyenne is pronounced as SHY-AN. Gotta love our weird American English huh?
Dude made 1 starfield video and was like “aight, never touching this garbage again”
The reason given for the UC losing the Colony War was clearly out of touch with reality. I het that its a game, but damn… No captain or commander is going to sit idley by and let his people die just because a few civilians decided that they wanted to be human shield. Get better writers.
im here for a colony war dlc
House Va’runn are geniuses… crippling their enemies and restricting them both. All while Va’runn continues to gather strength….. What fools the UC and FC are
It’s been said by many, but had the game taken place around during the war and if the game was actually focused around it, it probably would have been a much funner experience.
…You butchered the pronunciation of Cheyenne, and I refuse to get over it.
Man, House Va’ruun got a good deal being part of the Armistice agreement. Xenowarfare from UC banned, Mech warfare from the Freestar Collective banned, and House Va’ruun… Nothing lost and they must be informed of anyone trying to access info about both 😂. Maybe the United Colonies should have considered banning snakes too 🤔
That was the most abysmal pronunciation of Cheyenne I’ve ever heard ☠️
Shame that bethesda didn’t create aliens to enrich the lore more. Yet…
Pretty much every proper pronoun is mispronounced. Gotta love AI voices.
This is intended to be constructive criticism, please don’t take it as anything other than that. Your information is mostly correct, but I must ask did you just do reading about the lore or have you played through the game to obtain it? You’ve somehow managed to mispronounce nearly every major location name, despite them being properly pronounced throughout the entirety of the game. Other than your interpretation of pronunciation giving the impression of someone trying to speak a language they’ve only read about, similarity to the way we Americans mispronounce zebra since you don’t get to name something you don’t have, you’re well on your way to accurate and entertaining content. In short, your video is mostly accurate and informative. Keep up the good work.
More starfield lore! ❤️❤️❤️
Interesting , Thank You .
Native American names seem to be difficult for others to say
I wouldn’t waste your time
✌
I’d be pissed if I was Paxton too
The Lore is Amazing
just a correction, francois sanon was also present during the battle of cheyenne. he even ordered firing against attacking civilian ships, which also landed him into hot water.
Its interesting how the UC in both peace conferences seems to take point.
In the first one they limit the number of system’s each group can colonise( more beneficial to the UC since Akila and Neon are still essentially city states)
2nd peace treaty: x-warfare and mechs outlawed, yet keeps all the data and even brilliant war criminals in their capital city.
Limit to fleet sizes, mainly to attempt to counter freestar fleet militias, while also keeping secret shipyards if i am interpreting the lore correctly
The DLC should be about a further escalation about the factions learning about the Starborn
The colony war that we barely see the effects of in the game.
you know if the colony war was what the main story instead of the garbage starborn fetch quest this game would have been so much better. the lore is so much more interesting that the boring uneventful game we got.
This is where the game should have started.
An advance huma civilization that has colonize planets. Yet have zero vehicles.
So ridiculous and just I’m done.
13:33 in my story I made him class one citizen
Oh boy, more reasons to dislike the governments in starfield
I must be an unusual player. I have always ambled around Bethesda games, essentially sidestepping the main quest for an indefinite period. I’ve concluded Bethesda’s games – including Starfield – suit players who “make their own game”. I can redesign both the UC and Freestar navies, truck Europium to Alpha Centauri or stare out the porthole at something wandering past. Are there elements I wish they’d included? Hell yes.
Are there aspects that annoy me? Again, yes.
But overall, I’m enjoying Starfield. I don’t need a plethora of missions, and I’ve played Bethesda games since Morrowind, so I expect bugs.
Your lore videos have been an interesting adjunct to the game. Thankyou.
Ok, nobody else is saying this so I have to. Cheyenne is pronounced “shy-ann” like a shy person named Anne. It’s the capital of Wyoming and the name of a Native American tribe. Great video though! Very informative of the lore.
Yes. Please more lore!!!!!!
Imma say it. Starfield’s lore is boring. I really had to force myself to stay interested. Felt like a been there done that vibe, it’s underwhelming at the least. Good video tho :>
I would love a colony war prequel I know it would never happen but it would be brilliant
You do a great job of storytelling and presenting all of this information, but as a passerby on starfield lore with no real experience with the game at all, this lore just sounds so…bland. It seems like there’s so little reason for any of these conflicts to be happening, and the moves that each faction makes don’t really seem to make any sense. Why did the UC decide to just occupy a system without thinking about the people already there? Why did the FSC decide to accept the plea of the Narrion colonists for help? How did negotiations even break down? It seems like both factions support some form of democracy; how did they get to a point where they were so willing to go to war with a faction for TWO DECADES so philosophically similar to their own? If it’s territory, it’s space; there’s plenty of it out there. Why did the FSC decide to violate the Treaty in order to colonize Vesta? It all feels so.. full of holes and without reason.
I don’t know who you are or how you did this, but I LOVE this video. I’m an historian and Starfield is my new obsession. I look forward to your next video! 👏
Tbh the limitations on colonization dont make logical sense for either nation.
Mech warfare versus Zeno warfare. 😮 this is a no-brainer Xeno warfare is biological.🦠 compared to Mach⚙️ they can use it to move around cargo or use it for farming and things of that nature. There is no comparison! I think UC is wrong. Because bio weapons are much more inhumane.
Been playing the campaign and side missions, as well. I gotta say, I have bin connecting the dots. There’s a lot going on. Don’t want to give any spoilers up, but I cannot wait for the DLC. Lots to come on one of the religions that are in the game. Give you a hint.🐍
My biggest surprise ia that when fleeing earth no one decided to take earths animals. Theres a planet with clones of historical figures somehow but they couldnt clones at least the most famous of animals. Tigers, lions, elephants? Hell id even take a dog or cat. They let them all die.
Also Sanon wasnt “executed” for londinion. It was for the final battle at akila when he killed civilians because they joined the fight.
Your story of how Freestar became a thing is just not true, the UC offered people to go and create alternative governments it’s literally in documents you find, if you ask me, you did a quick run through the game to make this cheap ass video for some views
Plot holes everywhere.
One important fact that I didn’t see you mention: The UC lost the Colony War because they stood down when the Freestar Collective used a fleet of civilians as a ‘human shield’ to their advances.
That’s hilarious that Vic swapped jerseys with cp
It would’ve been dope if your reckless actions during the faction missions touched off another war
Great video! Im in love with starfield, the colony war is one of the most interesting things lore wise, especially xeno warfare and all that, thanks for the vid.
It wouldnhave made better content then 99.9 pf the missionss. THIS GAME IS EMPTY EMPTY i love it buts its empty
Thank you for making this. I love Starfield and love to hear and see more about it when I can’t be playing it.
Bethesda at it again with awesome world building but falling flat in integration
It is pronounced Shy Ann
I don’t know how to feel about starfield. I guess it’s a good thing that bethesda has finally proved that they are capable of performing more than two tricks(Fallout and elder scrolls) in total, but the time invested into a near flop that will almost certainly never see a sequel much less any sort of follow up… Should have been used instead for retconning their previous fuckups.
I swear some of yall can’t be happy with anything. There’s 20 custom cities and the rest is what space is, unexplored land free for claiming. If you don’t understand space travel, don’t complain 💀
A Space Casino DLC would be nice also a Earth Arena Battleground DLC would be cool too.
It is pronounced SHY-anne
This game has so much potential. So many features that could’ve been included but weren’t. E.G It ruffles my jammies oh so much that you can’t build/pilot mechs. It’s like many of the features are there but in their most basic form or not at all.
There is no lore in Starfield. Just mindlessly generated and uninspired mouth diarrhea. This game is absolutely dog shit.
Топчик
I love this video.
Respect and keep up the epic work.
I always look forward to your vids. Keep up the great work!
More starfield lore, please. I love this game also great video as always
Always some rich lore to discover in Bethesda games, it seems. Great work with this vid! Well played.
Awesome video! A note on the treaty of Narion, though: the treaty seems to consider binary systems as one systems, even though they’re labeled separately on the in-game starmap. Hence, the U.C. also controls Toliman adjacent to Alpha Centauri and the FC has Valo adjacent to the Narion system.
can you make some armored core content? it would be a godsend
How the Freestar collective, in leather vests and using the absolutely terrible Laredo weapons, managed to fight the UC, who have proper body armor and ACTUAL GUNS, to a standstill is beyond me
One of my favorite overthought aspects of human curiosity is that the vast majority of our existence has been spent looking up at the night sky and asking, “What tf even IS that?”
When the lore is more interesting to watch than actually playing the game.
I hope this isnt a “one off” like skyrim 🙁
the massive, boring world of starfield
I remember listening to Sarah when she talked about this battle in the Cassiopia system in the Colony War. I believe she said she could hear her crew dying in their escape shuttle (on the radio) because it had taken structural damage, and thus spiraled down onto the planet. Either burning them all to death in planetary re-entry or from the impact on the planet itself. So.. the UC didn’t need to check for other survivors, because there were none but Sarah & perhaps some critically injured crew she may or may not have found and brought with in her escape shuttle.
Do want more.
Fantastic lore video!
centralized power structures are vary vulnerable to mantles.
starfield lore suck it nerds.
18:06 Yeah, that’s gonna be a source of problems in the future…
Although it may not be the best game, you certainly make it sound far more interesting than it probably is lol. Great narration as always.
Quility video! More field of stars!
So funny to think that factions would actualy punish their own officers for warcrimes.
What a fantasy land this game is.
So anyway, we started blastin’.
A wisefish vid to get me through Friday ‼️
I hope you will look into the Stygian Set cultists in spehss, House Va’Ruun. 🐍🐍🐍
I admit that the Children of the Great Serpent are quite not as twisted as the devotees of Set, as depicted in the setting of the Hyborian Age, in the Conan novels. Nonetheless, they have a foreign policy and society that are quite antithetical to both the UC and Freestar.
I do love their aesthetics.
More starfield
If you care about Star Field lore. There’s no saving you.
Waste of an upload don’t post this trash.
The next colony War is gonna be lit.😺
Snoozefield.
I don’t care what the United Colonies say, I’m gonna keep hoarding all the illegal xeno-weapons and mech parts I can find! (I am a war criminal)
Boy I could not give less cares on game’s lore than starfield lol
Nice video but I’m going to watch when I get the game don’t want any spoilers but nice job of getting 127k subscribers nice to see how much you have grown
Wooh new WiseFish
Ill like it but ehhhh not really interested in Starfield.
WiseFish I would love for you to explore more of the Star Field game. Either way if you don’t, I will still enjoy your content.😊
Next video idea: i think we should start with how earth became like this next time and maybe the other planets in our solar system 🙂
Hmm i dont mind this tbh. more starfield stuff Great!
Excellent stuff sir, starfield doesnt compare i think in lore as a game like cyberpunk or even other Bethesda games but ive found that you get what you were wanting to find when you play. If you expect to be disappointed you will be but there is alot to explore and get up to if you’re willing to chill and have a good time you will find that as well.
starfield is hands down the best game I’ve played this year despite the bugs and crashes it’s still fun to explore planets and with so much to do no bethesda game has had that much content i could say it rivals fallout 3 and new vegas in greatness but a lot bigger and futuristic
I really hope that the dlcs expand this story more or that we even have a first contact type dlc with aliens, I mean I hope they don’t apply the same thing they did with fallout 4 dlcs…
Let’s go!
oooo yes, the other game I’m playing rn, good stuff!
Some of the background events sound interesting, too bad the rest of Starfield is bland and feels low stakes.
Brilliant video as usual
Looking forward to more lore videos of this series from you!
Your videos are amazing!
It was so brutal every veteran developed that thousand yard stare! It was so spooky!
If only the main quest was as interesting as the back story, oh well.. hopefully the Elder Scrolls 6 will be fun.
This game has so little going for it but the colony wars are genuinely interesting. I rather would have played that then the regarded space magic rock story we got.
