Missions | Starfield Wiki


Missions in Starfield are the various quests and tasks the player can acquire throughout the game. Some Missions—Main Missions— are compulsory quests that must be completed in order to finish the game, and others are secondary quests that explore the Locations, NPCs, Enemies, and Bosses not present in the main storyline, but build on the game's environment and lore. Most Missions can be unlocked by interacting with NPCs or witnessing certain events unfold, and some are unlocked sequentially, only being available after completing the previous Mission.

Does Starfield Mission Progression Carry Over in NG+

When you start a New Game Plus, any Mission and Faction progression you have will be reset. However, you can choose to fast forward the Main Mission by revealing all your experiences in the previous run to Sarah at the start of One Small Step.

Rather than a change in Missions, there is a small chance in each NG+ that there will be a slight difference in Constellation and it's members. If you want a different Constellation and Lodge in your New Game Plus, you can manipulate the RNG by quick saving just before entering the Unity at the end of One Giant Leap and reloading the save if you get the default Constellation. Though you may encounter a different Constellation, your goal for each NG+ remains the same - collect all the Artifacts. For a list of possible Constellation variations, visit the New Game Plus page.
