Whatever the case, it certainly seems like Constellation will play a major role in Starfield and that our own adventure in the game will in some way revolve around our decision to join them. More importantly, Howard tells us that there are “many factions in the game” and that Constellation is the “main one.” His choice of wording would seem to suggest that Starfield‘s faction system may be less like the one in Fallout: New Vegas (where you would sometimes be forced to choose between the interests of factions that often battled each other) and more like Skyrim‘s where there is a “campaign” faction and several optional factions to join along the way. The latter explanation feels more likely at the moment, but again, the word “last” feels very telling when trying to understand what Constellation is and what its purpose tells us about the larger Starfield universe. While the game will obviously answer that question eventually, or best guess for the moment is that there was either some event that prevented more humans from being able to continue to explore space (despite apparently being able to do so) or that Constellation is the last group of people willing to explore areas of space considered to be uncharted, dangerous, and inhospitable. Why is that the case? Humanity seemingly has the ability to explore the furthest reaches of space, so why wouldn’t more groups be doing just that? Not only does Howard reveal that Constellation is a group of explorers, but he uses the word “last” in two separate descriptions of the faction. It’s kind of like Skyrim in terms of the structure of the game, where you’re going to be who you want to be, and then there’s different factions that you can join, and really carve your own path.”
There are a lot of factions in the game but that’s the main one that you’ll become a part of. “It’s like NASA meets Indiana Jones meets the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a group of people that are still searching for answers. And Constellation is this kind of last group of space explorers,” Howard says. “Well, the game is set about 300 plus years in our own future.
