Enjoy this special music-less version of this episode thanks to the TH-cam encoder which continues to act in strange ways. We'll have a correction out shortly.
Oooh that's what was weird.
How can it be music-less when epic orchestra music starts to play around 60 to 90 seconds into this video?
Rogue Traders
Alright templin institute🤨 ya sussies. You impastas. What about the state of your mom? Cover that next.
I hear music also could you do a set of videos on Gaslands on its lore and factions
Note to self: When releasing information regarding epic world give said info to Templen institute.
Holy crap... seems like Templin had some exclusive inside info from Bethesda.
Guess the channel has really made it big now!
Possibly, however I have to point out that some enterprising hacker managed to decrypt their preload and some other goober had the balls to steal a copy and then stream it all over the internet. Information from those leaks aren't hard to find
Yeah, a couple of those videos have me concerned but still moderately optimistic
Ha. No planets! Flat maps. You land on a flat map, like skyrim or fallout. Todd did it again. He is a lying peace of shit.
@@Iymarra What kind of concerns?
To be fair, maps taking 45 minutes to walk across before hitting and invisible wall and then needing to load onto the neighbouring ‘grid’ is an improvement on Fallout 4 considering how Bethesda’s still using CreationEngine.
I just want to thank you for this video, my YT feed as of late has been full of absolute trash clickbait Starfield drama videos or ones that claim to have secret info reveals and its 2 month old news repackaged etc. This is the first Starfield content, REAL CONTENT, i've encountered since the damn demo months ago. And its really well done too. Thank you!
The Freestar Collective sounds like what the Browncoats of Firefly would have been if they had won their independence.
I 100% guarantee they were at least one of the inspirations for the FreeStar collective. Bethesda have said Serenity/Firefly was one of their many references
@@alexlyster3459i think it is Firefly and the Belters from the expanse, personally.
I was getting similar vibes
well then, I know where I'm going when when it's finally active.
@@alexlyster3459 20 bucks says one outfit looks similar or inspired by the NCR ranger armor lol. I would wear it tho
Turns out Captain Jaime Mallory of the HMS Platypus conquered the galaxy and stole everyone’s sandwiches.
@@glue6143 unless
PLATYPUS!!!!!!
My clubhouse will be avenged
Where’s doctor doof when you need him!
Then their sister Sydney, Captain of The Norway, had to kill them so everyone could get their sammiches back.
And so it begins, another war... 😮💨
Project Orion was a research project persued by the US Government in the 1950s and 60s into Nuclear Pulse Propulsion for Spacecraft. In short, you'd built a Spaceship on top of a giant shock absorber on top of a massive steel plate. Small atomic bombs would be shot out the backside of this craft and would detonate behind the pusher plate, accelerating the ship forward. The benefit of this system was that it would require a lot less fuel to get a payload into orbit than with a chemical rocket. The downside is that it involve setting off hundreds of small nukes to get a payload into orbit. It was cancelled due to Salt, which was probably for the better.
While mostly correct, that part of Project Orion was quickly abandoned and most of the focus was on use in space but that was nixed by the 1963 Test Ban treaty which prohibited using nukes in space.
Thank you spacedock
Spacedock released a video on project Orion a few hours ago if you want to check it out in detail.
What could possibly go wrong? lol
Too bad we can't make clean nukes.
Starfield is looking like the successor to Freelancer that I’ve been hoping for.
Don't get my hopes so high...
Freelancer might be my favorite game of all time, and nothing has ever scratched the same way.
@@GuardianComplex really? Star Citizen didn’t do it for you?
It's not. The politics and faction tensions in this video are just not how the game plays out. It's more like Skyrim except there's no civil war or war plot between freestar and colonies.
@@renaldoawesomesauce1654 Skyrim...in space?
this is such a great dramatic telling of all the lore we know so far about the game. felt like I was watching history channel.
2:04 As long as there’s no Reavers, everything will be shiny.
Well I was looking forward to choosing my faction, but since there is a mysterious cult, my decision was made for me.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE...
Oh. Wait. Wrong franchise.
The second I saw the “Serpents Embrace” trait, and managed to pause quick enough to read the description, I knew I was gonna pick it for my first character.
Sounds like "The Worm" from Stellaris. What is was. What was will be...
If you can find a way to officially join House Va'Ruun, be sure to let me know. Their weapons are simply amazing.
Well done, excellent writing done by your team, the lore of Starfield is something I'm really looking forward to learning in my travels through the Settled System and beyond.
That's one thing I really love about such games, the lore, figuring out the story and politics behind the factions and places, what shaped them into what they are.
Fx. in Skyrim I think i've read every book, just to see if there's something useful in them, but mainly to get some more lore info.
For role playing as a Bounty hunter in starfield the trackers alliance peaks my interest. I will be looking to do work for them and hopefully join as soon as possible. Great info!
Any good space story is really a western at heart.
Spoken like a true Western
@@Chawk282 What can I say, I am to misbehave.
@@DamienDrake2940shiny let's be bad guys
@@MonsterShewolf The best part is being Bethesda and their open mod support we'll probably get the Firefly and it's crew modded in.
@@DamienDrake2940 omg I soo want a Firefly
Great presentation of the lore in Starfield, well done. Just what I needed to watch as I preload Starfield today.
A blessing from the lord.
I really love the channel and the amount of care the team puts into the content, thank you.
welcome to the universe of firefly
Wow, not going to lie this hyped me for this game ALOT. I dont even know which side to choose. So good.
Just two more days if you got gamepass.
@@aayushdas19fr? Lesgo
Freestar all the way! Down with the tyranny of the UC
@@DaviLagoOrder will be maintained in the galaxy long live the UC
@@ara8692 I’m sorry, I was wrong, it’s only for the premium edition owners.
Love. You can learn all the math in The ‘Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don’t love, she’ll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down, tells you she’s hurting before she keels. Makes her a home.
- Captain Malcom Reynolds.
This was brilliantly done. I loved it!
Great video. I can't wait for you guys to cover this massive universe.
Can’t wait to see more Starfield
This video has been incredibly helpful!
The best lore video I have seen of Starfield. Great work and thanks for this video.
Yoooo didnt expect a starfield video, sick guys!!
Nice work.
Such a fantastic video
This was great, I'm so hyped
Love that they’re giving us the Cowboy frontiersman experience, modernist corpo-politics, and the “Sin City” of Neon as options to explore, rather than sticking to one and making the whole game about it
Great writing ! 💛
I’ve heard all of this before but I just had to hear it from the templin institute
Cool. It reminds me a number of precedent sci-fi space-based games like Alien, Freelancer , Killzone, Starlancer, etc...
The plot remains the same, graphics and internal mechanics as well as new technological concepts are improved.
Ahm... "old but gold". 👍
Great video :) loved it, it explains factions and a lot of things about the game, this is top content (not like other clickbaiters). Great Video overall, loved it !
Holy Galaxy Templin I. 😮 This video is fantastic 👏👏
awesome outro
Gods... the day of release can't come fast enough.
September 1st for early access
@@FazeParticles 31st for est
Looks like Starfield is going to be amazing. Hope you’ll do more videos on the world of Starfield soon.
like this Starfield lore video
I can't wait to see you tackle some of the ships in Starfield
MOAR!!!
Starfield is the culmination of aspects from my favorite space sci-fis. Overall it feels like The Expanse story wise but has elements of Starwars and Star Trek in its lore, characters, places, and things.
I wonder if you can go to Earth and try to set up a colony or something reclaim the true home world of humanity
I'll do you one better. we use the advanced technology we encounter with Constellation to undo the damage that has been wrought on Earth. Bring Earth back to the garden world it once was. To borrow a phrase from Mass Effect.
They clearly nuked Earth so as to avoid having to make any real content for it, because that's a whole Pandora's box and they evidently had no mandate to produce such content. It's the lazy approach to world building a space colonial near-future, honestly, but I can't blame them. Other games have gotten around it by treating Earth as a background set piece and sticking you on stations or entirely different planets, they obviously felt the best approach was to just literally nuke Earth so as to render all questions about Earth-content null and void: it's a radioactive wasteland, or whatever, you have no reason to go there, and we have no reason to make content that includes Earth in any meaningful way, because Earth's death is in the distant past so it doesn't need to be relevant to the current story or narrative at all either.
@@RosscoAW I don't see it as lazy tbh. Especially considering they are probably pushing these consoles to the limit (and the creation engine) I think it was a good idea to "blank slate" Earth and focus on the frontier. Otherwise you'd have to toss in tons of resources to create 300 years in the future advanced earth. Now they can just dump in some wrecked landmarks and call it a day. Although the thought of a terraforming quest is cool especially considering Earth by the lore video sits relatively in the middle of Human space still.
@@RosscoAWIt's not lazy ... what choice do they really have? You think they can simulate the entire Earth in this game?
@@RosscoAW I feel like they already put so much into the lore and 300yr future-history of Starfield, that adding in guesswork for the future politics of Earth, Moon, and Mars for that same period is largely pointless. Not to mention that there's a lot of societal and political baggage that comes with involving Earth, which IMO from a creative POV kinda drags the fictitious lore down unnecessarily to reality. I've had a couple story ideas myself and I do find myself wanting to avoid making it about our Earth as it doesn't give me the blank slate I want to tell the story that I want. They probably already felt that other works like The Expanse have done that area of space and time and don't want to accidentally intrude nor copy.
Remember when all of this would have been covered by the game's manual? I miss those days.
Tbf nowadays a lot of this information is found in game.
I can't wait for Thursday night early access. Bring on the sleepless nights, I can't wait.
Hey Templin Institute, watched your video on the Tyranic War. Do more that! I want to hear about the war for Armageddon!
This place sounds awesome
I can’t wait learn and discover all the lore for this new universe, only 2 more days!
Hell yeah!!!
I can't wait for this game.
Constellation seems like the best choice for me.
Thank you for all the effort you put into making this video! I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Okay, so let me say this up front. The video actually got me a bit excited for starfield although I think that might be because of the Templin institute masterful video making. And I really hope this game is good and it is a big success.
But after I finished the video and started really thinking about the setting and factions described I started to feel like they were all kind of familiar and generic. Like there was so much more room for creativity but they basically went with safe options ripped straight out of popular scifi.
Am I the only one that felt like that?
Great stuff on the lore. Glad to see this instead of all the clickbait "sTaRfIeLd bAd"
I have a feeling that the new game plus they are talking about "new surprising things" would be aliens Civilization. Cuz we don't see them here except monsters
You should do a set of videos on Gaslands on its factions it’s timeline all it’s lore that would be awesome to watch
This game universe seems fascinating.
You had me at "Starfield"
Unexpected honestly but nice video
I’m pretty convinced that 95% of the players just chose to be pirates instead of heroes
Good to get the lore
The Crimson Fleet sound interesting, wonder if Bethesda will let me take it over.
I’m guessing that it is this universe’s equivalent of the Dark Brotherhood.
Hail Sithis.
Guys, there's no music until 1:58?? I love your videos by the way, just wondering if this an editing oversight or something?
Pinned comment 👀
Your narration gave me Rod Serling from The Twilight Zone vibes... good sh*t!
Would you guys ever consider covering the Domination of the Draka? They’re an interesting(if unsettling)civilization from an alternate timeline where the British captured the dutch cape colony during the Revolutionary War, leading to it being renamed “Drakia” after Sir Francis Drake. It becomes a hotbed of slavery, hedonism, and wanton cruelty where men are used like cattle. It’s a dark timeline, but as said before, an interesting one.
Any timeline with more british people is a dark one
@@bonelesssnek4883 oh my friend; _the British are the least of your worries_
Why would the brits make something like that 😂
@@bonelesssnek4883Cringe in Prejudice.
@@hulking_presence It’s explained that they took the Cape in a “Operation nearly cancelled” and just gave it to their loyalist elements as payment for their part in the war. Over time, more losers from histories various wars and conflicts flocked to Drakia, giving rise to an ideology that is at once simple and infinitely complex: Service to the State, Glory to the Race. You serve the domination, and as a citizen and master of slaves, you are granted a small portion of the states wealth to do with as you please. Everything you do, however, must be for the Glory of the Race; the Draka race.
Oh good, a primer for probably the next major time sink game lol
Cool vid, entertaining and fun, thx!
As for my perspective, i really dislike UC for what they did on Vesta and as such will avoid helping them or even try to sabotage them when possible :D
Even made my character's lore around it. Hype and excitement for every lore piece can do wonders for curing boredom^^
Almost… there😮💨
I'm soooo effing excited!!! Been playing the immaculate Diablo 4 all morning and having a blast on HC with my homegirl, so that's making the excruciating wait more bareablelol. Just under 33 hour left baby!!!!!!! Who's as xcited as I am?
Sounds similar to Frontier Elite from the 1980s and 1990s and Freelancer. My Dad would love to play this Game.
Anyone else feeling like this is weird without any music?
*at the beginning
@@jebusfox I don't hear any music at all, it's like they forgot to include it :(
@@maelstromeous it's there, though it is quiet
This miiiiight be a TH-cam encoding error? As it seems loud enough in the raw edit.
@@maelstromeous it seems like the music starts later around 2:30-ish. Idk why that happened
Independent charter captain. The new and unique profession, that happens to be the most common in open world space games. A tempting job though. 😅
Hold.. tf.. Up.. Templin... Talking Starfield??? Only 16mins.. Idc lemme put the kids to sleep I need ALL PARTS of this 💯...
this was perfect, thx for the background
Might actually get it now lol
Ill play it after i finish my first playthrough of TES6
Wow great frkn video man. + 1 sub!
Welcome to the Institute
This sounds like it could be a good fire fly game if done right lol
Do a video on Gi joe and cobra and the arashikage
Now we are getting Starfield lore before the game comes out??? Let's goooooo!
Freedom for the Collective!
I wanna play as a weird mechanist who has more robot friends then human ones.
Considering the fact that historically the robot/A.I companions in Bethesda/Obsidian games are always more likable then the fleshy ones, thats probably what I'll be doing that as well. I just hope they release an Automatron inspired DLC with custom robot companions.
@@Slavesforsale1 Yeah I loved Codsworth, he was a SAVAGE with that buzzsaw!
Really hope we can build bigger ships. As much as i like playing Han Solo in my little freightliner, i want to put togther my own little frigate or destroyer and fly around dunking on pilots and making deep range exploration runs
Does anyone know if any specimens of the flora and fauna of Erath were evacuated also?
Started thinking about how a planet hopper would look like in EVE-O, and now I'm sad they never expanded (successfully) in that universe story wise.
Non of the old good stories are left with the ruthless pod pilots going awol and amok in the universe.
Didn’t take the institute long for you guys to make a video of Starfield so quickly 😁 the game hasn’t been released yet. Love your amazing videos.
But is there a space U.S.S.R?
Thanks for the video guys, the Institute standard for quality has yet to falter!
Do the system lords and guals in general from Star gate
So Firefly if The Brown Coats won.
Damn pirates stole the music.
Did someone forget to add music? 😕
I started reading the comments because I thought the same thing... 😅
You don’t touch on Earth until the end, I think you should’ve covered the history of Starfield first to add context. It was a bit confusing.
The wealth of a thousand world awaits!
thank you !"
course, excuse us for not knowing what faction is what, when making a character , beside some flavor text - gives a overview video like this O_o .-
Didn't know there is already enough lore known to make a video
Please do CWCville from the Sonichu comics.
Can’t stop the signal
i want this, but 40k where you play as an inquisitor
Im hoping the game is great im already in love with the merch and getting the new xbox star field headphones 🎧 which look amazing and been hearing great reviews about it while i wont get the game yet i am a sci fi lover and im simply getting them because they look so cool plus my headset is kinda old plus I always wanted a higher quality and a wireless headset anyway I'll keep the one I have but have this one as well when I'm playing sci fi games like this
Will there be storms and sever wind and weather, I want to walk by torch light throu the storm and sit in my ship cockpit and feel immersed in the storm.
I’m so hyped for this game….the new and continuing voyages of the starship…eh I don’t have a name yet or I do and I don’t want someone else to steal it 🤪
