The Next Mass Effect Has a Valuable Lesson to Learn from Starfield

Main quests aren’t often the primary draw of a Bethesda RPG, with many fans finding most of their playtime in each game’s sandbox defined by the side content and moment-to-moment gameplay. That said, Starfield has a great main story questline that kills two birds with one stone by acclimating players to each of the game’s many systems while serving an engaging and rewarding tale surrounding the discovery and analysis of some mysterious artifacts. Not only does Constellation’s mission to track down the artifacts help Starfield shine as a contender for the Bethesda game with the best main storyline, it’s also a fitting template for the next Mass Effect to use.
