Starfield: 10 Best Side Missions You Must Find

1. First Contact

In an absorbing side plot worthy of the Fallout series, Starfield's players can discover a closed-off community looking to finally settle and a rather dodgy colony who just aren't feeling it.

What sets First Contact apart is the dark look at the perils and pitfalls of morality. Should players opt for the more noble choice, it comes at a rather infuriating cost, with a great big tumble in credit whereas doing the wrong thing comes with a worthwhile reward.

Players are introduced to a large starship mysteriously circling Porrima 2. In what proves to be a fascinating development, the ship hosts a community of Earthlings that have been living in seclusion for over 200 years. With a rich backstory behind them, the inhabitants of the ECS Constant attempt to get the player characters to help them diplomatically settle on the planet and begin anew.

Needless to say, the colony of Porrima 2 isn't quite what it seems, as players unearth a seedy underbelly in the area. With a selection of tough calls to make and an array of interesting characters and developments, First Contact is a fine example of rewarding world-building.
