In the story, gamers will have to fight a lot, get involved in gunfights and get involved in the illegal activities of various groups.

Starfield's combat system is described as dynamic and brutal. Characters may lose limbs, be covered in blood, scream in pain, use foul language and the like.

A lot of space in Starfield will be occupied by drugs, one of them is called "Aurora" (Aurora) and it can be used by the main character. You can get the drug by purchasing, stealing or even making it yourself.
