* During the "No Sudden Moves" mission, you have the option of peacefully boarding a ship belonging to a CollectorOfTheStrange called Captain Petrov. If you bribe his security detail, you learn that Petrov "went through a phase" and keeps a variety of ticked-off alien wildlife in cages on board the ship. Apparently the cage technician had a row with Petrov, and before leaving set the cage password to "Idiot Captain". If you choose to double-cross Petrov and steal his Artifact, you can absolutely use this information to create havoc to cover your escape.

** '''Starter Home''': ''You own a small house on a peaceful little moon, but it comes with a 50,000 credit mortgage with [=GalBank=].''
*** In the full game proper it's even worse. The mortage is 125,000 credits! That's 1.5 times more than what your starting ship is worth! [[FelonyMisdemeanor And it's not even furnished.]]
* One of the available traits is '''Hero Worshipped'''... which gets you an [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Adoring Fan]] that joins your crew. He's back, and this time, he's much worse, to the point he may very well be a {{Yandere}} by this point. Thankfully, you can get rid of him if you get fed up.

* As said above, the The Kid Stuff Perk means your parents are still around. And around -- while the entirety of the trait is incredibly heartwarming, there are some funny moments along the way:
** The
devs really nailed the writing of having proud, yet slightly overbearing parents.



** While the entirety of the Kid Stuff trait is incredibly heartwarming, it can take an absolutely ''hilarious'' turn when you head to Neon and ''see your parents in the Astral Lounge''. Your parents say they got a special vacation gift to Neon, so they figured they'd stop by the Astral Lounge. To say it's an awkward situation should you approach them is an understatement, and you can absolutely choose to do some teasing at their expense.
* Inside the mines at Cydonia, you'll run into [[XDaysSince an "X hours without incident" ticker]] that updates in real time. A curious (and ''[[BloodKnight sufficiently murdery]]'') player can then [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/168gvzg/35_hours_without_incident/ gun down the nearest denizen,]] [[DevelopersForesight immediately causing the ticker to go down to zero.]] Whoever's manning that ticker must be paid ''very well''.
** Hell, just the fact that [[DangerousWorkplace the ticker counts by hours and not days]] can be [[BlackComedy darkly hilarious.]]

* Continuing from the above, once you arrive at Constellation, you have the option of either redoing all the story missions, or just telling Sarah and Constellation about the entire plot and skipping them. However, there's a random chance with every new "cycle" that you'll get a unique start. Some of the more amusing ones are:

Meta moment; stealth complaining about Fallout 4. See the cleanup thread.


* In a meta moment, one of the more vocal complaints about ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' was that the main character was voiced, as some people didn't like the way their avatar sounded. ''Starfield'' devs pointed out that the player character wouldn't be voiced, and they were truthful about that. If you finish the game without siding with the Hunter or the Arbiter, you'll meet ''another version'' of yourself in the Union, in other words, not the ''player'' character, but a character that ''looks'' like the player character. One of the first things you can do is point out that ''you don't sound like that''.

* One of the [=GalBank=] loan collection missions. The mission itself is a standard "kill the enemies and rescue the NPC" objective, but the fact of the matter is that you're a loan officer, someone sent around to get loans paid on time, [[AlmightyJanitor and you just massacred a mine full of Ecliptic mercs just to get payments resumed.]] The NPC you rescue even says "I have never been so happy to see a bank official."

This becomes even funnier if you are a member of the Crimson Fleet and they are the enemies spawned. You can literally just walk through their base and wander off with their captive without a hitch.

* One of the quests you can pick up in [[SpaceAmish New Homestead]] on Titan is given by the colony's doctor, who's one of the homesteaders with something of a beef with the tourists that come to visit the colony's museum. Her solution? Hand you a hilariously non-scary monster costume and send you out to give a random group of tourists a good scare, hoping they'll spread the word about monsters living on Titan and thus put a damper on tourism. Aside from the entire plan being both hysterical ''and successful'', she's just so damn cheerful about her own idea, especially when she tells you that the costume used to be a highschool sports team mascot and was later slightly modified for an indie movie before she got it for cheap after the film bombed.
