Starfield has a plethora of skills and upgrades that can be a real game-changer in certain situations. You might notice early on a locked door with a skill check higher than a novice or a bigger and better ship that you can’t get without investing a few points into piloting.
With how big of a game Starfield is, you might find yourself encountering these situations all too often, especially in the early game. In those moments, you may wish to reinvest your skill points into something timelier. This article will tell you everything you need to know about respecing in Starfield.
Can You Respec in Starfield?
Unfortunately, there is no way to respec skill points in Starfield. This may come as no surprise to fans of previous Bethesda titles, as while you can’t usually respec, you can unlock every skill in the game. The same can be said for Starfield.
If you feel you’ve made some poor choices in the early game regarding skills (believe us, it happens), you won’t be able to swap those unlocked skills out for new ones. The beauty of Starfield is that every skill has its uses, so if you find yourself lacking a certain perk in the moment, such as the lockpicking skill upgrades or the ability to talk your way out of rough situations, then keep a mental note and invest some time into those skill points as you progress.
Starfield can be overwhelming with the amount of options, customisation and freedom you get from the early hours onwards, so understand that if you don’t have the accurate skills, it’s okay. There are moments throughout Starfield that are tailored to every skill type. In those moments, you may wish you had a specific skill, but you will feel the same way when another skill check pops up that you haven’t unlocked yet.
It’s this careful decision-making and planning that can make or break a mission, but that’s part of the fun. The chaos of not knowing what’s around every corner could lead you down a different path. One filled with adventure, interesting characters, and maybe a little carnage along the way.
Starfield is available on PC and Xbox.
