Exploring the Pacifist Campaign in Starfield: How the Speech Challenge Allows Players to Avoid Conflict

Recently, fans of the game “Starfield” received news that may not be very encouraging for players who like to avoid conflicts during the game.

This is about the pacifist campaign. But, after all, what does that mean? A pacifist campaign in a game generally refers to a mode of play or choice allowed in the game, in which the player chooses to avoid violent conflict whenever possible.

That is, instead of solving problems through combat, the player can look for other alternatives, such as strategies to go unnoticed by a place, or who knows, even carry out diplomacy or explore other non-violent alternatives.

This option is most often linked to games that are not necessarily focused on combat or war, but still have the option to prevent violence. In each style of play, the approach can be different. As is the case with RPGs, in which players have the option of resolving confrontations through diplomacy or stealth.

Everything is done for the sole purpose of preventing bloodshed. In strategy games, it is possible to conquer the enemy through alliances.

It seems that, during a chat on the Discord platform, Will Shen and Emil Pagliarulo, game designers, shared some information about it. Many people were curious and asked many questions.

One of the points that drew attention was when someone asked about the possibility of the game having an option to avoid conflicts or fights, that is, the pacifist mode.

On this, the designers replied that, although they tried to add this option in many parts of the game, they cannot promise that all missions will have this option.

However, they came up with something called the Speech Challenge. This feature allows the player to try to convince other characters to act in a certain way, for example convincing them not to fight.

However, it’s important to note that this persuasion feature will be available in some parts of the game, not all. This left some fans a little disappointed, as they expected the game to offer more options.
