Don't Make The Wrong Choice Early In Starfield (Starfield Traits Explained)

a very important choice you will make early on in Star field is regarding your traits they can have a huge impact on your playthrough but you can only pick them during character creation which happens about 20 minutes into the game in case you didn't know you can pick up the three of these and each trade gives you a benefit that also comes with the downside after testing all of them I found that some just have huge bonuses that easily outweigh the negatives which really makes them worth picking over others but I still want to go over most of them in the spoiler-free video so you can still pick according to your preference but I will also share the best trades in my experience and at the top of my list of recommendations is the dream home trade while it does start you off with a hundred and twenty five thousand credit mortgage with gel bag that has to be paid weekly that is not the full picture if you pick this trade you get a unique Quest called dream home as soon as you leave the lodge for the first time so basically after completing your first main quest this will give you both directions for your house which is in the Olympus system very close to Alpha Centauri and new Atlantis and the galbank representative who you can talk to about your mortgage we'll come back to him later because first let's check on our house it's located in a beautiful spot of peace and quiet has two floors and a lot of space for you to do some decorating because when you get it the place is mostly empty but by opening your scanner and then pressing the decorate button you can place a ton of different items to make the place your own provided you have the required materials and it's not just furniture too as you can build things like research stations weapon racks and Mission terminals in your house as well so pretty much from the start you have a place where you can store your stuff come to rest and do any kind of research or crafting all conveniently Under One Roof and you have a parking spot in the front yard the big downside is of course that mortgage of 125 000 credits looming over your head so let's explain how that works rather than taking a sum of money from your funds every week you pay mortgage at the door 4. for 500 credits you get to stay in the house for a week and if you try and enter after that period has ended you'll be asked to pay the sum again if you don't you're not able to enter your house but everything inside Remains the Same until you pay up and are able to enter again and while I expected the price to rise by 500 every week turns out that's actually not the case effectively you can rent your own house for a week and then after that you need to pay up 500 credits again but you can choose when you do so and nothing inside your house changes while you're not paying rent and there are even two permanent solutions to get rid of this problem as by talking to the galbank representative in new Atlantis you can either pay off your mortgage or foreclose it paying mortgage makes the house yours no need for those weekly payments and while 125 000 credits is quite a sum it's also a pretty nice house and I haven't found another way to buy that specific one alternatively if you pick Dream Home in character creation and don't like it anymore you can foreclose the house and be done with it you'll of course lose access to the house but also everything inside it so make sure you clear it out if you're considering this option before we move on to more special traits that I definitely recommend you try out if you've enjoyed the video so far it would be awesome if you could leave a like And subscribe if you don't want to miss out on more of our spoiler-free star field content so while having a dream home is really nice it's not the only trade that gives you access to a unique house although this next trade also introduces some new characters Into The Fray namely your mom and dad if you pick the kid stuff trade during character creation you get to visit your parents over in new Atlantis this one pops up as an activity again after leaving the lodge in new Atlantis for the first time so just set it as active and follow the quest markers to your parents house they're of course very happy to see you and they'll also happily let you use your old bedroom to rest you actually find a nice little surprise here as your mom patched up your old backpack for you so you can still use it equipping this bag gives you 10 extra carrying capacity which is nice early on but you'll probably want to keep something on that gives you boost capabilities you can also grab anything in the room or in the house if you want to which you can then sell for a bit of early credits plus there are some food items and crafting materials in the kitchen but it turns out your parents won't just spoil you when you're at home they also came to visit me at constellation not just to look around the place but also to help me this very nice pistol as a reward it has really high base damage plus it comes with large magazine and high velocity modes so you have a Max size of 15 and a pistol accurate and has more range you can you can further mold it at a weapon workbench to make it even more powerful but even without any additional molding this is a pretty nice weapon to have early on in the game the only downside is that the ammo type 0.45 caliber does not drop that often from enemies so make sure you stock up at any weapons vendor to keep using it and there might be even more gifts down the line if you keep playing although you do need to keep in mind that as long as you have the kid stuff trade you're paying two percent of your total credits to your parents each week if at any point you don't want to do this anymore you can talk to your dad and tell him that you want to stop paying this means they'll have to move out of the apartment so you can't visit them anymore and unfortunately I did not receive an update on their location either so seems like you don't get to visit your parents anymore after of course if you tried this and were able to find them again let us know but either way it's up to you if you want to keep them in your life or if you cut your support after you receive that pistol or you could go with hero worshiped a feature that is back from Oblivion although instead of completing an entire request line for it you can get it right from the start they also show this trade in the direct before launch so when you choose this a yellow haired fan will randomly show up while exploring the Galaxy asking for your attention and sure he might be a bit annoying at first but if you go along and have him join your ship he can actually be pretty useful he namely has the weightlifting skill at level 2 which means he can carry 165 kilograms worth of stuff when you trade with him so he is now basically my personal piggy bank that stays on my ship through this menu you can also equip different outfits for him and he can also join you on Many Adventures Starfield is overall pretty serious in its storytelling so I actually like the fact that this fan is the comedic relief as he says some very bad but also kind of funny one-liners every so often it's also noted that he gives you gifts but I didn't get anything yet so of course if you also decide to take him with you let us know what you get in the comments but even without the gifts I can recommend this trade for sure now it's also important to know what the other traits do as some are kind of similar to one another there are a couple of faction related ones that I recommend saving for a second playthrough since at the start you have no idea what these factions are and why you'd want to join one of them same goes for the religious traits you can pick like race Universal or enlightened which allow you access to a special faction chest that has some map packs an outfit and other items but can also be used to store your own gear luckily you can also remove your allegiance to these factions and lose benefits from this trade by talking to your faction leader both the chest infection leader for the sanctum universum are located close to the mast in new Atlantis take the tram exit the station and head left towards the giant Freestar Collective Embassy to the left of that is the building we're looking for if you picked raised enlightened instead you want to take the elevator down to the Well from the most Ram station keep heading straight out of the elevator until you run into a security office then take the stairs behind you and turn left around the corner to enter the house of the enlightened and there is one final religion-based trait you can pick serpent Embrace that works a bit different instead of a faction chest you get a buff whenever you graph jump to a different system this buff gives you 25 health and stamina which is pretty good and lost for four in-game hours meaning that if you don't use the weight feature to speed up time you don't even have to graph jump all that often to permanently increase two major stats by a significant amount now I haven't found the faction representative for house Varun yet which you Ally yourself with as part of this trade like I try checking their Embassy in New Atlantis but it's unfortunately close but if you did find them please let us know in the comments and more trades are actually removable if you don't want them anymore like empath or alien DNA you just need to find a doctor and pay them 10 000 credits which isn't all that much later down the line there's one in new Atlantis that you can find by going to the Mars tram station exit the station and go right towards the residential district and you'll soon come across a Reliant Medical Clinic enter the clinic and go to the doctor's office and if there's a dialogue option that lists one of your trades pick it so you can ask the doctor to remove it I also quickly wanted to touch on wanted a trade that can give you some unique dialogue options which is actually true for some other traits as well but apart from that the being hunted part didn't trigger that often for me at least while focusing on the main story you also get a damage boost when you're at low Health but you don't really want to be at low Health as that means you can easily die from a stray bullet and then you have to restart from your lost save so so far it's kind of hard to recommend this one of course let us know which traits you will end up picking And subscribe for way more
