Starfield - Best Traits to Choose

Best Traits to Choose for Starfield

Pick the traits that interest you the most.

Upon starting Starfield and reaching the character creation screen, you must choose three (3) special character traits. These unique characteristics should match your playstyle or how you want to role-play in the game.

Each trait has advantages and disadvantages that your character will affect your character throughout the game. Note that it is possible to start the game without selecting any traits, especially if you think they have drawbacks that will severely limit your enjoyment while exploring.

Traits cannot be changed even after going to New Game Plus (NG+).

After picking your preferred traits, you will not be able to change even when you beat the game and begin a New Game Plus (NG+) playthrough. Because of this, try to select traits carefully at the character creation screen.

For a first playthrough, you can try going for Kid Stuff, Hero Worshipped, Wanted, or Empath.
