5. Sure Bet

For players journeying through the Alpha Centauri system, there's an additional location to the more hyped-up New Atlantis that's worth exploring. On the planet of Gagarin, for example, one of Starfield's most colourful fetch quests is just waiting to be discovered.

Upon arriving in Gagarin Landing, players get the chance to help a local bar secure some top-tier booze for an upcoming executives meeting. The caveat, of course, is that this particular liquor is not on the planets, and it's up to the player character to journey off into the stars to pick it up.

While this side quest has garnered some flak for a few frustrating glitches, it's well worth persevering with. Sporting intricate gameplay thanks to its clever emphasis on the peaks and pitfalls of anti-gravity, ensuring players must remain alert as they sift through a litany of dangerous, explosives-stuffed barrels to get their hands on the prize. Securing the liquor guarantees the player character a healthy dose of credits for their efforts.

Between its thoughtful, grounded world-building and exhilarating closing stretch, Sure Bet is an excellent showcase of Starfield's often off-beat storytelling style and imaginative set-ups.
