Early on in Starfield you begin turning into a galactic superhero, unlocking stellar talents like suspending gravity, slowing down time, and peering into the long run (although there isn’t one to make Chunks tastier, sadly). Much less cool, sadly, is that the repetitive strategy of gathering all of your superpowers can shortly put on out its welcome.
See, to get every energy (or improve an present energy in New Recreation+) you must drag your self to a temple on some distant, far-flung planet. However first you must go go to Vladimir at The Eye so he can inform you the place the subsequent temple even is.

A loud 20-second video performs and solely then are you granted your new means, at which level it’s time to move again to Vladimir. If you wish to max out each superpower to degree 10, you’ll have to do all this a complete of 240 occasions throughout 10 playthroughs. Dang!
