All the Starfield companions and abilities confirmed so far-Radina Koutsafti-Entertainment – Metro

There’s a range of companions to choose from (Picture: Bethesda/Metro.co.uk)

Confirmed Starfield companions include a utility robot and a space cowboy, meaning you won’t be short for help on your ship.

Set to be one of Bethesda’s biggest releases ever, Starfield will allow you to bring along a diverse crew of companions, just like previous games such as Skyrim and Fallout.

Picking the right companions can be a game-changer, whether you need their expertise in exploring distant planets or their combat skills, but with the game not out until September you have plenty of time to prepare.

Right now, there are only a few confirmed companions in Starfield, although Bethesda has teased some other candidates. So, let’s take a look at the initial batch of potential buddies in Starfield, as well as their unique skills, roles, and everything else you can expect.

Kicking off with the primary quartet of Constellation companions, these individuals offer complete questlines and even the possibility of romance.

Although the fourth Constellation companion has yet to be officially confirmed, Bethesda’s statements seem to indicate that this group will boast more intricate storylines and a wider range of interaction options compared to others.

Confirmed companions

Sarah Morgan

Astrodynamics: ★★★★

Lasers: ★★★

Leadership: ★★

Botany: ★

Sarah Morgan, the leader of Constellation – the game’s main space exploration organisation – has a background as both a former soldier and daring adventurer. Equipped with a diverse skill-set, Sarah’s expertise in astrodynamics will maximise the potential of your grav drive, whereas her leadership skills will accelerate the bonding process within your crew.

Sam Coe

Piloting: ★★★★

Rifle Certification: ★★★

Payloads: ★★

Geology: ★

Sam Coe seemingly hails from the Freestar Collective, a frontier faction that operates akin to the untamed space frontier. Embodying the spirit of the space wild west, Sam has specialised skills in payload management and piloting. He does seem to take the whole space cowboy thing a bit too literally though.

Barrett

Starship engineering: ★★★★

Particle Beam Weapon Systems: ★★★

Robotics: ★★

Gastronomy: ★

Barrett, another member of Constellation, is someone you meet early on in your adventure, as he’s the one who gives you the watch that acts as your status bar. Always seen wearing his spacesuit, Barrett seems like an engineer at heart, with a specialisation in particle beam weapon systems.

Other crew members

The Adoring Fan

Weight lifting: ★★

Concealment: ★

Scavenging: ★

The Adoring Fan from Oblivion has indeed found his way into Starfield, not merely as a fleeting joke but as a full-fledged member of your crew. Interestingly, his inclusion seems to be connected to the optional ‘Hero Worshipped’ trait available during character creation. You’ll have the option to add him to your crew and he comes with a few buffs – just as long as you can put up with him.  

Vasco

Robots and space go well together (Picture: Bethesda)

Vasco, a robot linked to Constellation, is an upgraded version of an early Lunar Robotic model. Primarily built for Constellation’s mission, Vasco is described as a tough and versatile heavy duty machine designed to withstand the challenges of space travel. Information about the robot’s skill set is sparse currently, though it wouldn’t be surprising if it’s related to laser weapons.

Marika Boros

Marika’s strong point is ballistics (Picture: Bethesda)

Ballistics: ★★

Shotgun Certification: ★

Particle Beam Weapon Systems: ★

Marika is among the crew members available for recruitment at space ports, ready to assist in managing your ship or outposts. While specific details about her background remain undisclosed, her skills heavily revolve around combat proficiency.

Heller

Outpost Engineering: ★★★

Geology: ★

There’s not much known about Heller either, although it’s possible that you will encounter him out in the wild, as previously hinted during Starfield Direct. He appears to be stuck on a barren planet, donning a spacesuit and exclaiming, ‘I’ve gotta escape this desolate rock!’ when you interact with him.

Although these are most of the key companions and crew members in Starfield, the roster is likely to extend far beyond this selection.

Other notable candidates who might accompany you throughout the game include scientist Noel, theologian Mateo, and a mysterious former space pirate called Vlad.
