Mods on PC also disable achievements, so it's possible that a fair few space adventurers are missing the achievement

Probably that, and people just checking it in game pass. About the other achievements, It's funny that in Bethesda games people keep ignoring the main quest so much.

There's literally mods that enable achievements, which are also some of the most downloaded mods.

I have one of those mods because I was stuck early on. My save does not show modified, but I stopped receiving achievements. No biggie, but it would skew the percentages for sure.

They can't do it retroactively afaik. You have to use the achievement enabler before getting flagged.

Ngl first thing I did was ignore the main quest. My years of Skyrim, fallout 3 & 4, Ubisoft open worlds and Witcher taught me to look for the main quest, then go in the complete opposite because then that's where the wacky stuff happens.

I was kinda annoyed that Starfield wasn't like that. After a few hours, I got kinda bored and followed the main quest (to a degree), and that's when a lot of the game world opened up and I started to really enjoy it.

I see, good to know, haven't played it much yet. I'm used to leaving the main quest at the bottom of the list, too.

There's not much to do on the beginning asteroid, though. If you want to do any of the side quests without the main quest, or no quests and base build, you still need to leave the starting asteroid via spaceship.
