Starfield:Companions

Overview

In the expansive universe of Starfield, companions play an integral role, serving not just as allies in combat but also enriching the storyline, enhancing interactions, and providing additional layers to the game's narrative.

Companions in Starfield are more than just supporting characters; they are potential crew members that can accompany players on quests, offering unique abilities, insights, and sometimes even unlocking hidden parts of the narrative. With the introduction of various companions throughout the game, players can look forward to a rich tapestry of interactions, an expansive range of locations to uncover, and additional quests or missions that might otherwise remain hidden.

Companion Recruitment

The process of companion recruitment in Starfield comes with its nuances. Only members of the esteemed Constellation organization have the privilege to accompany players on their interstellar quests. This detail was highlighted in the Starfield Direct, emphasizing that while many may be part of Constellation, only a select few are destined to share in the player's journey.

While every companion brings their unique charm to the table, they are not created equal in terms of narrative depth. Todd Howard, in an interview (with Kinda Funny), shed light on this. He earmarked Sarah Morgan, Barrett, Sam Coe, and one yet-to-be-named character as the "main" companions. These characters stand apart as they:

• Support full questlines, potentially altering the course of the player's journey.
• Can be romanced, paving the way for intricate personal narratives interwoven with the main storyline.

As Starfield continues to unveil its secrets, players worldwide eagerly await the stories, adventures, and memories they will forge with these companions among the stars.

All Companions in Starfield

Starfield offers a choice of six diverse companions, each bringing their unique skills and abilities.

Each of these companions is not just a supporting character but shape the way Starfield is played.

Some companions also boast unique abilities that can turn the tide in challenging situations, making the choice of companion as much a strategic decision as a narrative one.
