Ending Explained
In Starfield, players are on a quest to gather artifacts to build a machine called the Armillary. This machine can transport them to a parallel universe known as "The Infinity," where they are "reborn" as a "Starborn." The game involves interactions with other Starborn, specifically "The Hunter" and "The Emissary," who are also searching for the artifacts with the hope of eventually reaching the "center" of all universes and meeting their creators.
In the end, after collecting all the artifacts, players build the Armillary and use it to teleport to "The Infinity." Here, they encounter a clone of themselves from a different universe. Stepping through a gate of light, they are reborn in a new universe and start anew in a New Game+ mode, retaining only their level and skills. In this new cycle, the locations of the artifacts are randomized, and the quest to rebuild the Armillary begins again.
Throughout the game, players make choices that are reflected in the ending illustrations. These choices involve aligning with either the Hunter or the Emissary, or choosing to go it alone, among other decisions related to faction questlines.
The game leaves several mysteries unresolved. Players never meet the "Creators" of the artifacts or learn the origin of the Armillary. There is also no known "end point" to the cycles of rebirth, leaving players in an infinite loop of gathering artifacts and transitioning to new universes. Overall, the game ends with more questions than answers, suggesting a universe filled with endless possibilities and mysteries.
