Bethesda’s Pete Hines has offered some advice for people who will soon dive into Starfield. Speaking at Gamescom, Hines said players should be sure to be mindful of their activity log, because what might look like “throwaway” stuff could lead players to some interesting places.

“My one piece of advice to folks is do not ignore your activities. It feels like throwaway stuff that the game is giving you, but there’s some amazing stuff in there that doesn’t even feel like a real quest but will take you to some amazing places and some amazing stories,” Hines said during an Xbox Gamescom livestream. “We encourage you to play this like any BGS game, which is like do what you want, go where you want, test the game, be the kind of player, the kind of person you want to be in this world and see what happens.”
