As a modern RPG with combat as a core mechanic, Starfield features a considerable amount of killing. Players making their way through the Settled Systems will come across countless hostile factions that are not exactly interested in taking the peaceful approach. Starfield's opening hour features a significant gunfight, which does not include any route other than combat.
