As someone that avoided watching your original run due to wanting to explore the game myself, you doing a second run is music to my ears Allows me, who did not buy into E.A, to watch and know the odds of spoilers is minimal, while still being able to learn from your previous experiences Loving the game so far, and excited for the playthrough!
I was watching along but kept having to stop because he got too far in the main story. I'm glad he's going to let his urges take over and do what he wants. Because we all know how sidetracked he gets.
yeah I did the same thing, Thankfully I only started the main story like 30 hours into the game so I already did a good amount of quests before getting to the end. END SPOLIERS........................................ Pretty much I have two save files now. One where my character went through the unity and is on journey of travelling through universes gaining more power, There's even fun secret content in this as well like random events and alternate universe stuff if you keep travelling between universes. And another save where my character decided to not walk into the unity and returned to his universe where I'm finishing off the side stuff. So two timelines one where he left his universe behind and one where he stayed. Hopefully with DLC they actually explore this multiverse stuff for example being able to return to your original universe only to find it damaged. Meeting alternate versions of your character to extremally different universes and timelines. You could go crazy with a multiverse focused DLC on the same level as Dragonborn.
Same here dad of 2 one 6 year old and one 9 week old played about 1hour a night since the 1st ,but I am loving the game and always love cohhs content @@Optimal_E
Absolutely, I was so shocked when I heard he was speed running it to NG+ because of someone's suggestion, just not what I'd come to expect from Cohh and his long and girthy LPs. Then again, he has started to "speed run" through content a lot more lately... or maybe speed run is the wrong term for it, "playing like his pants are on fire" might be more accurate. His recent BG1 and BG2 LPs were, for me personally, the biggest disappointments in that regard, when he was just cutting through and cheesing the content just to get to the end. Mainly because I had been waiting for his revisit of those games ever since the announcement of BG3
I am so glad cohh is restarting the game again! And finally playing it the way he wants it. I personally enjoy cohh more when he does his 100% runs as opposed to rushing, which unfortunately happened with this game. This is a shame since he was so hyped for this game and got ruined due to the advice he got.
@@moralsnope9352 "Gene Park is a social media editor for Opinions, Outlook and PostEverything, and is a member of The Washington Post's audience development and social media team" He listened to *that* guy? Holy hell...
@@ravelhidersunk4458If you're still wondering, and avoiding spoilers, he was told to rush the main quest because something happens at the end that some people want to do first. He didn't know the game well because it was a blind play-through and took other people's word for it. He found it narratively unsatisfying because he hadn't gotten to explore and do other faction quest lines.
@@Owl90 To his defense, it was a very widely accepted thing in the game's community. Even people going so far as to rush to NG+10 before they would let themselves actually play the game normally. Sounded absurd to me then, and it still does. Lol
that seed you are referring to on restarting ALWAYS happens to me on most games. glad you've decided to start over, Cohh, if it's better for you, i'm positive it's better for your audience, since your fun and enjoyment is contagious!
@@IsilionNELE This is super late so you probably know already but for anyone in the future: Cohh was misinformed about the nature of this game and rushed the main quest line and went into New Game + and once there he made a choice to skip the main story the second time around. So it was really messy and all over the place so he just felt a clean restart would be a good way to fit all the content into one clean playthrough.
At beginning in the mine, when Linn tells you to go on your own "where you discover the new mineral" you can go left and down to find rarer mineral deposits. You have to break a wall to find some of them...
I'm honestly so happy to hear you're doing a fresh run. I was bummed to hear - while watching several episodes into your first run - that you rushed through the storyline to get to NG+ and wish you hadn't. Can't wait to watch this new run play out!
So happy to see this. Excellent decision Cohh, was really looking forward to watching your playthrough but the way you did it meant too many spoilers to watch alongside doing my own playthrough so for me this is great, can fully enjoy this and fair play to you for going back and doing things the way you wanted to, mad respect
Love the idea of restarting, I'm on my third playthrough and I'm going to start again today too. I did 1 rush, 2nd skip main rush, and started playing for good on the 3rd but starting at a high level already just isn't the same. Look forward to watching the playthrough while restarting mine!
Thank you for making this friendly for first time viewers!! I was worried about spoilers. Also, thank you for the critical advice that I caught just in time before I started rushing the main story. I slowed it down per your suggestion and I’m loving it!
Glad youre doing this, its probably what you would have done if you weren't streaming so its nice that you chose this way its honestly more fun for everyone feels like a breath of fresh air
03:50 I love seeing that reference now, because later in the game you can find a mining outpost Lin & Co had to abandon due to House Varuun invading it.
Cohh this is great news to see that you are gonna play Starfield again, and this time the way you want to and like the first time you ever played it. Starfield is awesome, and I like it alot and it really is a lot of fun to play.
The Kid Stuff perk's 2% credit loss is minimal when compared to what you get. Your Mom, voiced by Nana Visitor, gives you a repaired backpack from your childhood. Later she gives you your Great-Grandmother's UC Marine Spacesuit and helmet. Your Father, voiced by Tim Russ (STV Tuvok), gives you a pistol with ties to Constellation and later a free spaceship! (Oh and your skin tone determines whether your Dad looks White, Asian or Black.)
I'm doing the same thing, like you, I rushed the main quest line and it just didn't feel right. Also, after MANY hours of play, I've learned a few things and I wanted to start over with those things in mind.
24:30 - "Rare mineral Contract" - Is there a method of actually creating those? It would be nice if we could ask some organization to dig up minerals for us.
So glad to see Cohh restart the game. I feel that rushing the story is normally bad for BGS game. I love to dive deep into everything to game has to offer before completing the main story. But hey, that's just my opinion. Let others play how they like.
I can't afford to buy Starfield currently and I'm glad that Cohh is doing a second run and making it friendly for first time viewers. It's going to be great to see not only the story but also tips such as using right click whilst mining. Great job Cohh!
i respect this approach, and I hope it works out. this is the way to do it. i'm taking it slow, after a long process of overthinking on the 'right' background for my enjoyment.
I'm really glad you did a rerun so you can enjoy the game how you want too! I haven't gotten too far in your other run, so looking forward to watching you explore and build!
I appreciate you took a second go at it. I tried that too, and ended up super frustrated by the lack of leveling progress. I don't understand what I'm supposed to do between levels because some quests can't be completed without higher skillsets(unlocks). I am hoping watching your playthrough will give me some clues about how to play this game right, because at this point I'm super frustrated.
I avoided your first playthrough because I didn't want any spoilers. But now that I've got 30 hours into the game, I am sooooooo stoked to watch this new playthrough!
Thank you for your constant warnings about not rushing the main story. I was considering rushing the story myself, but after seeing how frustrated you were with that decision, I started to play it on my own pace and I'm having an absolute blast. Didn't even finish the third quest of the main story, I'm just busy doing side quests in Neon.
I did the exact same thing. Rushed my first playthrough to NG+. Decided I didn't wanna do it that way and now about 20 hours into my second. Loving the game even more on my second taking it slow
I respect the fact that you decided to restart your playthrough to play the way YOU wanted. I will enjoy watching you play this playthrough. +1 sub from me.
There is a NASA mug hidden in the cave before you find the artifact. It's in the area below the bridge that leads to the artifact. There are also a couple of different rare resources. You can go back later though.
The excitement I felt at the instant recognition of Damien Haas' voice returns every time I hear it hahaha Also: Ive yet to see someone else find the secret room before the first artifact 😉
well done mate i could see it in your eyes in your last NG+ video that playing it the way you did hurt, so hope this feels good and will enjoy watching it with you....
Oh, I didn't know about the right click trick. I haven't watched Cohh's run of this because of playing it myself, but I'm happy to see he's starting over if he was rushing through it. Everyone should take their time and enjoy a game like this imo :)
I am so happy you did this. If the "correct" way of playing the game was your last run, this game was going to be off my list... I hate rushing games, to get to the "good part".
To be honest - This is the version I am going to watch. I did not watched the previous ones (I was busy myself playing this game, and could not bring myself to stop and watch someone else's LP). But now I am 30 hours in and will take some breaks to watch this one.
Ye I’m doing the same thing because I like skipped a lot such as the temples and side quests that could of been very important but I’m still planning to out all my effort in the ng+
I made a comment on your last video asking if you could start a new game doing what you want to do. Soooo happy you have decided to do so. I am not claiming anything bc I just posted that comment. This is awesome.
I'm so happy to see this. I was so disappointed when i took a break from my Starfield run to watch the beginning of yours only to find out you had already finished the story and was on NG+. I've put 80h in myself and i haven't even gone to Akila City yet, nor visited Vladimir at the space station. lol Gonna watch this and enjoy it. Then stop when you get to where i am so that i don't spoil myself.
eyyyy i love cohh just takin the time for the game to shine, and this one really needs that tlc, glad i can sit and watch this as i play through this also LUL
I had to carefully plan my background/traits (went scoundrel, spacer, wanted, serpent), and was surprised you didn't have this all planned out beforehand. I like your picks though, and glad you went with a simple name (AND NOT THIS TOO).
Thank for your opinion on why we shouldn rush the main story and straight to the NG+ I`m sad that there's no starting epic or conflict, however the exploration and factions quests are great. Sometimes level design dissapoints due to bad randomization or way to low ceilings.
Finally, the first game was rushed. It was quite unusual for Cohh to rush through things although doing it that way may have helped how this game should be played.
I did exactly this. I have level 35 character thst mostly powered through to end game. Didn’t like how it felt. I started over. Level 17 and having a blast doing stuff I missed first time
as a lurker and enjoyer of your content for a couple years, and also about to buy the game itself. would you recommend watching the first run first before going heads on into this one? or even recommend to not watch any of this cause of spoilers(that i dont mind)?
I didn't watch your first run because I didn't want any spoilers before I got to play, but I'll be watching this run glad your playing the way you want to now
As someone that avoided watching your original run due to wanting to explore the game myself, you doing a second run is music to my ears
Allows me, who did not buy into E.A, to watch and know the odds of spoilers is minimal, while still being able to learn from your previous experiences
Loving the game so far, and excited for the playthrough!
same dude i only played 13 hours and did not do allot. Have fun!
I was watching along but kept having to stop because he got too far in the main story. I'm glad he's going to let his urges take over and do what he wants. Because we all know how sidetracked he gets.
yeah I did the same thing, Thankfully I only started the main story like 30 hours into the game so I already did a good amount of quests before getting to the end.

Pretty much I have two save files now. One where my character went through the unity and is on journey of travelling through universes gaining more power, There's even fun secret content in this as well like random events and alternate universe stuff if you keep travelling between universes. And another save where my character decided to not walk into the unity and returned to his universe where I'm finishing off the side stuff. So two timelines one where he left his universe behind and one where he stayed.
Hopefully with DLC they actually explore this multiverse stuff for example being able to return to your original universe only to find it damaged. Meeting alternate versions of your character to extremally different universes and timelines. You could go crazy with a multiverse focused DLC on the same level as Dragonborn.
Hell yeah! Play it your way and enjoy yourself. I've been taking it slow and it's been great.
Same here. Maybe a little too slow but Dad life. Enjoy it

Honestly, I much prefer the sandbox world vs. the NG+ style. Hope you have a good second playthrough!
The one thing everyone agrees on is that the game isn’t slow and repetitive enough. It’s good he’s not skipping dialogue.
03:50 I love seeing that reference now, because later in the game you can find a mining outpost Lin & Co had to abandon due to House Varuun invading it.
@ 23:42 the music reminds me of star wars a new hope, specifically one of the tatooine themes.
9:10 Happy for this decision. I only watched a couple first few videos from the previous 2 runs and stopped.
Cohh this is great news to see that you are gonna play Starfield again, and this time the way you want to and like the first time you ever played it.
Starfield is awesome, and I like it alot and it really is a lot of fun to play.
I'm only five hours in and having a blast. No pun intended!
Looking foward to it. I didn't get very far in your other run and this sounds like fun.
So glad to see you doing the proper Cohh run finally!

Absolutely. Always loved this positive energy the reason I keep coming back to watch your playthroughs and opinions😊.
The more Cohh the better. Happy to see you're doing it your way!
I am so happy that i skipped the first playthrough, now I get to see Cohh be true to himself and his style of play which is why i love his content

Kind of hype to get a new playthrough
i respect this approach, and I hope it works out. this is the way to do it. i'm taking it slow, after a long process of overthinking on the 'right' background for my enjoyment.
Nice! Haven't watched any of the previous stuff, so this is perfect
I love how Barrett says, " is that right, cowboy?"
Didn't watch the first one specifically because it was a race to the end run. Will 110% enjoy every episode of this run now! Cheers! ❤
I'm really glad you did a rerun so you can enjoy the game how you want too! I haven't gotten too far in your other run, so looking forward to watching you explore and build!
This is awesome Cohh. Play the game how you want to. Hope you enjoy this run more then the last.
Good for you Cohh, when you enjoy the games it makes for a better watch 👍

I feel so bad for Cohh. You only ever have one first and that sadly was ruined for him. I hope this run somewhat makes up for that experience.

This game is amazing and has so much to see. Glad to watch another run the way YOU want to play!
I am so here for this 110%.
"There's something really effed up about this." 'Hey newbie, head in there and get jacked up for us by this alien artifact we are looking for.'

appreciate the tips in the video as you are playing. Thank you.
Bring it! Definitely up for First Run Part 2 :D

Gonna watch this and enjoy it. Then stop when you get to where i am so that i don't spoil myself.
This makes me want to start over
I'm starting again for the million time cause I haven't been happy
At the beginning of the video I love how the "Applause please" came at the right time!!!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Look at Cohh not picking up every single item! 😊
7:28 I'm looking for someone willing to do all of the faction quests and show off some of the star systems off the beaten path.
Love all the toddlers with access to keyboards here on YT lmao. Kudos to you Cohh, enjoy your BGS shenanigans
eyyyy i love cohh just takin the time for the game to shine, and this one really needs that tlc, glad i can sit and watch this as i play through this also LUL
Never listen to the shouty people on the internet telling you how to do things.
Remember to sleep for an hour in your ship. It fully heals and gives a 10percent xp boost.
Yay!!!! I was hoping so bad that you would do this!!! *grabs popcorn*
Totally agree with the decision! I hear Freddy Mercury "I want to break free!" 😂 Let's do this!
I started new game too....first playtrough was ng3...all begins now....good luck cohh....enjoy your new trip!!!!
I joke that Cohh is kind of a corny basic ass dude sometimes but he really is the man.
Mentions getting crystals he didn't figure out... immediately forgets about crystals again. 😅
Cohh don't change. Lol 😂
I had to carefully plan my background/traits (went scoundrel, spacer, wanted, serpent), and was surprised you didn't have this all planned out beforehand. I like your picks though, and glad you went with a simple name (AND NOT THIS TOO).
I am happy you decie do it like you want :) Nice one Cohh
YAY!!! go COHH! Thank you!
Hell yes! Looking forward to this!
My motto for this game is just “Go with the flow”!
@9:30 Hi :) First time Starfield watcher, busy lasy week... was hoping this would be "the run" *settles in*
Omg I had no idea you could focus the laser on the cutter. I thought I just couldnt gather the exotic stuff in the caves with the artifacts. 😢😢
good decision Cohh, play the game the right away now and enjoy it
glad your playing it your way. enjoy yourself and most importantly have fun!
I'm honestly amazed that you took that advice... feels so unlike what you'd ever consider doing, under normal circumstances.
Thank for your opinion on why we shouldn rush the main story and straight to the NG+
I`m sad that there's no starting epic or conflict, however the exploration and factions quests are great.
Sometimes level design dissapoints due to bad randomization or way to low ceilings.
Finally, the first game was rushed. It was quite unusual for Cohh to rush through things although doing it that way may have helped how this game should be played.
Finally “our” Cohh is back!
Thanks for replay it properly.
I did exactly this. I have level 35 character thst mostly powered through to end game. Didn’t like how it felt. I started over. Level 17 and having a blast doing stuff I missed first time
as a lurker and enjoyer of your content for a couple years, and also about to buy the game itself. would you recommend watching the first run first before going heads on into this one? or even recommend to not watch any of this cause of spoilers(that i dont mind)?
I didn't watch your first run because I didn't want any spoilers before I got to play, but I'll be watching this run glad your playing the way you want to now
well so this will be the run that i'm gonna watch, thanks Cohh i was hoping for this :)
I'm so glad you are having fun!
It's been 9 days since release and the beginning already makes me nostalgic. Oh no.
