During an appearance on [URL='https://twitter.com/TheRealDfea/status/1694764247492792683']Bethesda Mainstream at Gamescom 2023[/URL], Hines explained he had sunk roughly 80 hours into Starfield’s faction-based questlines and other side activities before being prompted by Bethesda head Todd Howard to get started on the main story. “We intentionally don’t talk about the main quest a lot because truthfully it is super spoilery,” said Hines. “But I’m here to tell you that this game doesn’t even really get going until you finish the main quest.” Hines noted the main quest took him around 50 hours to complete, which means that, by his own reckoning, Starfield didn’t “really get going” for the Bethesda veteran until he had sunk 130 hours into the game. “That story, it’s my favourite Bethesda Game Studios story,” said Hines. “It’s my favourite Bethesda Games Studios’ ending to a story, and I hope people enjoy it as much as I have.” It isn’t clear exactly what content will become available to players once they reach the conclusion of Starfield’s main quest but it’s possible Hines was referring to [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/starfield-has-new-game-plus']Starfield’s recently revealed New Game+ mode[/URL], which, according to Todd Howard, will feature “a unique and exciting twist”, that will “incentivise continued and repeat play”.
