Starfield is a massive game with lots of systems and a massive amount of area to cover. I thought it would be nice to share useful information as a community. So what is your secret best spot to find medpacks? What skill was more useful than you thought? What thing did you not learn about until you were 15 hours in, that you wished you learned a lot sooner?
My personal list
Some skills lead to dialogue options! I have had the commerce skill pop up frequently during missions
Melee is more effective than you may expect, and can be a good way to conserve ammo when you are running low
You can fast travel planet to planet from almost anywhere outside, you don’t have to return to your ship and take off (wish I knew that a lot sooner)
You can hide your spacesuit when in settlements using an option that appears in the inventory screen
Planning to add more as I play
Edit:
I just wish people wouldn’t comment on my still wearing a space suit. Yeah, I know I don’t need a helmet on this planet, I’m just not going to take it off every time.
You can set that to be hidden when in breathable atmosphere as well. You can basically have it so your character changes into ground clothes and back into suit without you doing anything
Its only a visual change so the npcs still think you are wearing a suit.
I wish there was a way to make it so my companion can keep their suit on
I wish there was a way to make [her] stop the stupid fucking comments over and over because I’m carrying too much.
