New Starfield Pilgrimage Mod Brings Massive Skill Tree Overhaul & More
Starfield has bestowed players everywhere with the best space exploration gameplay in many years, and despite its technical flaws it’s definitely made a cosmic impact for the sci-fi gaming genre as a whole.
Bethesda has been working tirelessly to fix and further polish the immersive experience of Starfield, and the players are also certainly doing their part to help contribute to that.
In fact, a new mod known as “Pilgrimage” has hit the scene and brings with it an incredibly tempting and well-conceived revamp to arguably the game’s most pivotal feature — the Skill Tree. If you’re curious to try and wondering what all it entails, here is our guide to thenew Starfield Pilgrimage Mod.
What is the Starfield Pilgrimage Mod & What Does It Change
On the heels of Bethesda’slatest official patchforStarfieldthat has brought a number of improvements to the game (including watching your character actually eat food), the player community is continuing to pitch in and provide their ownmodded alterationswith probably the biggest and best one yet for the most avid of space adventurers.
Thanks to the brilliant minds of DragonField Team and Vollmetal Dragon for bringing it to the masses, the mod known simply as“Pilgrimage”isnow availableon NexusMods for anyone who plays Starfield on PC. It brings by and far the most monumental and likely the most desired changes to the game’sSkill Tree system, which has received some pretty justified criticism since the game’s launch.
Some players have complained that leveling certain skills feels too disconnected, that they don’t complement or interweave together well enough, or that they’re simply not beneficial enough to the overall gameplay. Others have felt that locking particularly basic abilities in the Skill Tree hinders the experience overall, especially at the start of the game. One especially notable criticism is how crafting is leveled and subsequently locked inside the Skill Tree as well, making it all the more difficult to remember to unlock it, along with the frustration of not being able to upgrade a suit or complete aResearch Projectsimply because of a Skill lock.
All of that makes the introduction of this mod all the more welcoming, and it’s already garnering very positive feedback from those who have downloaded it so far.
Straight from DragonField Team, here are some of the most noteworthy changes that the Pilgrimage mod package brings to Starfield’s Skill Tree system, and their subsequent effects on overall gameplay:
In their words,“the main goal of this mod is to improve consistency of skills and make each skill mean more to the player. Most skills have been either moved around in the categories or reworked to make them more interesting or balanced with the other skills.”
Being able to use boost packs from the get-go, having the basic functions of your ship, and especially streamlining the crafting experience all makes for probably the best modStarfieldhas seen so far.
