In most heroic backstories it’s the parent’s death that shapes the heroes into the rugged and tough protagonists that they are today. Thanks to the Kid Stuff trait in Starfield, that doesn’t have to be the case. Is there any difference between having live and well parents? Is Starfield Kid Stuff worth it?

Starfield Kid Stuff Trait
With the Kids Stuff trait in Starfield, the player’s parents are alive and well, and they can visit them at their home. The downside to that though is they will automatically send 2% of their credits home to them every week. While they don’t drastically change things in the story they have little moments where they can randomly appear and can sometimes give gifts. Those gifts can consist of:
- Highschool Backpack (Extra Capacity mod)
- Sir Livingstone’s Pistol (31 Physical damage – Large Magazine, High-Velocity mods)
- Gran-Gran’s Spacesuit (Pocketed mod)
- Gran-Gran’s Helmet (Sensor Array mod)
- Meatloaf recipe
- A ship
If players wish to find the parents themselves they are located at Pioneer Tower in the Residential District of New Atlantis. In terms of the trait being worth it, the answer would be a yes. It’s nice to see them pop up and the gifts are a nice added touch. Wouldn’t every love to visit home every once in a while?
All Starfield Traits
Alien DNA
- You volunteered for a controversial experiment that combines alien and human DNA. As a result, you start with increased health and oxygen, but healing and food items aren’t as effective.
Dream Home
- You own a luxurious, customizable house on a peaceful planet! Unfortunately, it comes with a 125,000 credit mortgage with GalBank that has to be paid weekly.
Empath
- You are deeply connected to the feelings of others. Performing actions your companion likes will result in a temporary increase in combat effectiveness. But, performing actions they don’t like will have the precise opposite effect.
Extrovert
- You’re a people person. Exerting yourself uses less oxygen when adventuring with human companions, but more when adventuring alone.
(Incompatible with Introvert)
Freestar Collective Settler
- You gain access to special Freestar Collective dialogue options and better rewards from some missions given by the faction. But, crime bounty towards other factions is greatly increased.
(Incompatible with Neon Street Rat, United Colonies Native)
Hero Worshipped
- You’ve earned the attention of an annoying “Adoring Fan” who will show up randomly and jabber at you incessantly. On the plus side, he’ll join your ship’s crew and give you a gift.
Introvert
- You really need your alone time. Exerting yourself uses less oxygen when adventuring alone, but more when adventuring with other human companions.
(Incompatible with Extrovert)
