That\u2019s right, you have to choose more than just your background<\/a> before you can start the game. Or not. You can choose to have no traits if you like \u2013 it\u2019s entirely optional.<\/p>\n Your chosen traits will have an effect on dialogue and interactions, as well as in combat, so you want to make the right choice for how you want to play the game.<\/p>\n We can see why this might prove confusing, as you don\u2019t want to get it wrong. Luckily for you, we know what all of the traits do and which are best.<\/p>\n Read on for our picks of the best Starfield traits and to see the full list of traits and their perks.<\/p> The best Starfield traits will give you an advantage in certain situations, with our pick here at RadioTimes.com<\/a> being Alien DNA<\/b>, which gives you increased health and oxygen at the cost of less effective healing and food items.<\/p>\n Dream Home<\/b> is a neat trait as it gives you a fancy house right at the start of the game. It does come at a cost of 125,000 credits, though, which is a lot to be down on at the beginning of your quest. You should make those credits back and them some before too long, mind.<\/p>\n Hero Worshipped<\/b> is definitely worth it to gain the Adoring Fan companion and add him to your crew. He is annoying and a little overeager, but this Easter egg crew member is worth adding to your team of intrepid space explorers, for sure.<\/p>\n Finally, we recommend the Taskmaster<\/b> trait. Applying this trait to your character essentially gives you a free automatic ship repair back up to 100% health every time it is damaged below 50%.<\/p>\n The only downside with this one is that all crew members will cost twice as much to hire \u2013 you can get around this with increases in persuasion skills.<\/p>\n Ultimately, though, the choice of what trait or traits to pick is entirely up to you. If you don\u2019t like one of your traits, too, you can always remove it by completing its specific mission\/activity.<\/p>\n Read more on Starfield:<\/strong><\/p>\n There are 17 Starfield traits in total, coming with their own strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n Here is the full list of Starfield traits and their perks:What are the best Starfield traits?<\/b><\/h2>\n
