Does Starfield have a prison system? In Starfield, players will have the freedom to explore a vast universe, engaging in various activities such as trading, combat, and exploration. However, with freedom comes the potential for both good and malicious actions.
Engaging in illicit activities, such as pickpocketing, smuggling, or inciting violence, may see players crossing paths with the long arm of the law. If you want to avoid the guards knocking on your door, here’s everything you need to know about the Starfield prison system.
How Starfield Prison System Works
If you’ve played Bethesda games such as Skyrim and Fallout, chances are you’re no stranger when it comes to facing the consequences of your actions. Well, turns out Starfield is no different, according to a recent Discord Q&A with the devs. You may end up in jail if you step on the wrong foot.
The way the prison system works in Starfield is similar to Skyrim. If you get caught committing a crime, you will be presented with a few options to make up for your actions, such as surrendering, going to jail, or paying a fine. It’s also likely that you can bribe whoever caught you to get out of your unfortunate situation.
That being said, you can attempt to resist arrest by fleeing, with one important note you need to keep in mind. If you somehow fail to escape, you can get a more severe punishment than you normally would, which is honestly justified in a role-playing game.
It’s unclear what exactly happens once you end up in jail. You may be required to do some work or find a way out yourself. You may also want to keep in mind that the law across the cities in Starfield may differ from one to another, meaning that some may be more lenient, and others may be more strict. Either way, if you plan to break the law, just be prepared for what might happen.
