Best Traits for Explorer in Starfield
Traits in Starfield help gain special access or get new dialogue options for the characters. These are optional for players to equip during character creation and up to three traits can be selected but players can also drop them entirely, however Having a few traits makes a character special but it also comes with disadvantages. The best traits for explorers are:
- Alien DNA: Players volunteer for an experiment that involves combining human and alien DNA and as a result, players will start with higher health and greater endurance, however, healing items would be a little less effective.
- Raised Universal: With this trait, players get access to a unique chest full of items in the Sanctum Universum in the city of New Atlantis but lose access to the House of the Enlightened chest and players will also not be able to combine it with any religion traits.
- Spaced: With this trait, the health and endurance of players will be increased when they are in space but will be decreased when they are on the surface.
The Spaced trait will increase players’ health and endurance as they are likely to be in space most time and a religion-based trait such as Raised Universal will give players access to special items and dialogue to help with their exploration.
