Starfield (2023): Sam Coe ♡

[poor-ciceros-voring-again]

How melancholy must it be to see the face of your lover countless times in countless realities, falling in love more and more each time, but each time it's your lovers first time falling in love with you. To have memories you've shared with past versions that future versions will never see happen.

How many times, then, before you stop yourself from pursuing them? How long before the heartbreak gets too much for you to bear once more? How long before falling in love is replaced with overwhelming sadness?

i made this visual representation of constellation membership over the years using info from the game, bethesda's site, and the wiki, and i think it reveals some interesting things about the explorers group that weren’t otherwise obvious. ofc it’s incomplete because there is a lot we don’t know, but going off this alone we can tell that:

1. constellation membership has always been quite small. there’s a huge gap in the middle there only because we’re lacking for info, but it seems constellation in 2330 is probably the largest it’s been.

2. aja mamasa was chair for a longer period than any other chair. for most of the group’s existence, aja mamasa was the face of constellation.

3. the search for the artifacts only really kicks off after sarah becomes chair. understandably, aja mamasa may not have wanted to begin a pursuit of this mystery during wartime, but she then had plenty of time as chair after the war to dig that artifact back up if she wanted to. putting all other potential reasons for not pursuing the artifacts aside, i think this could speak to the differences in character between sarah and aja: the unrelenting sense of adventure at the core of one chair vs possibly the more cautious, admin-focused nature of the other. now obviously barrett finding that archived artifact in 2326 probably just occurred by chance, but c'mon are you telling me they don't keep a recorded inventory of all their odds and ends?

4. andreja’s joining the group coincides with barrett finding the second artifact. in-game, if you take Barrett to the ka’zaal sulfur mine where he found that second artifact, he mentions that constellation gained another member the day he found it, but he doesn’t say who. the only member who joined the same year (let alone same day) that Barrett found the artifact is andreja. it's also worth noting that va'ruun "zealots" attacked the miners during the initial dig in 2328, and still guard the mine when you and barrett return in 2330. correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think we ever learn any specifics about how/when/why andreja joined other than that she initially joined as a spy for house va'ruun. it seems house va'ruun was after the artifacts as well and andreja had a role in their pursuit of the ka'zaal artifact before joining constellation.

take all this with a grain of salt because there's a good chance i missed some things. but i'd like to hear y'all's thoughts cuz i only made that andreja connection after making this :)

"I love you. And later, maybe I'll show you just how much"

Why is this the hottest line ever written in a video game

Sam assuming you are also a nepo baby will never not be funny to me. Like really the only valid reaction to someone with as much main character syndrome as the spacefarer is to assume they're a nepo baby.

I think one of the best traits of Bethesda games is that at surface level they seem pretty neutered in terms of mature themes. But then a character will say something like this and if you stop to think about the implications for just a minute you realize these worlds are dark as fuck.

I HATE Todd Howard for making a space game and then putting an irresistible little space cowboy dilf in there as if I wouldn’t change my whole play through (or multiple play throughs, as it were) just to romance that motherfucker

I so wish you could speak your mind about Lillian Hart to Sam, without him 'disliking' those options.

Sam, I know you"ve put that woman on some sort of pedastal because she saved your life and you think you owe her. But you don't.

She's a terrible mother. An absentee mother who cares more about her job than her own fucking daughter. A hypocrite who thinks having Cora with her dad is dangerous, because of his line of work, yet won't step up and be a parent.

I bet deep down she wishes she never had Cora. Then she'd have kept Sam hanging on a hook. Cora was the best thing to happen to Sam and the worst thing to happen to Lillian.

One day she's going to find Cora isn't interested in trying to spend time with her because the person Sam's fallen in love with cares more about Cora than Lillian ever did.

Next playthrough I'm going to be honest and choose those options, even if it takes longer to build affinity with Sam over it.

Found a reference I really liked and was struck with an idea. No story connected, simply a "what would Doc do if Sam got hurt?"

This has occupied my every thought, literally.

Bonus: Alternative Universe where everyone ends up in the new universe together, but no one knows it. Not until someone makes a comment about their old world, then everyone points at everyone else.
