Can I be a famous Bounty Hunter?
I want to live my fantasy of being a famous bounty hunter traveling the stars making the big bucks. Would hope bounties would be constantly generated so I don't run out.

Did you ever play freelancer or privateer? Heck many old school space game. They had mission terminals. I think they have some mission terminals in game. If they are something like the old school ones they basically generate targets for you to hunt down, trade missions, smuggling etc.

There is stealing cargo, and hijacking/boarding vessels or doing it for companies and getting paid. So i would assume so.

No, you have to be an anonymous bounty hunter.

No one will ever recognize you nor know your name. But you will get paid.

Bounty Hunter was select-able background IIRC, so it's gonna have dialogue options. Plus there are join able pirate factions I wouldn't be surprised if there are "destroy x faction" missions like the Dark Brotherhood one in Skyrim.

Yes, they confirmed that in the interview with the sandwich pirate staff member a few days ago.

It's called the "Mission Board"

So make the checks out to "Cash"?

Even if there isn't a radiant bounty quest system at launch, that's one of the most popular new Vegas mods.

They confirmed officially that this is apparently an option, and you can have bounties placed on you by various factions.

For whatever reason the beta people (or people claiming to be) I know have said very little about the factions, claiming they could get in trouble for that for violating a NDA. When another person asked them if there was anything like the Star Wars "Bounty Hunters Guild" they played coy and said some factions are more involved with that aspect of things than others. The way it was stated implied there might actually be more than one faction that makes a big deal about hiring out as bounty hunters, but not a single specialized guild.

We will see how that one turns out. As far as "fame", I do know there is a faction reputation system and the way it sounded, you will get reputation fluctuation from hunting bounties based on what factions the target belonged to. Whether there is a specific form of fame SPECIFICALLY for hunting bounties, I have no idea.

That said, one thing you have to remember is that this is not "Freelancer" or whatever. This is more along the lines of "more primitive Star Trek". Your by default part of a military/exploration group called Constellation, work for them, and the main plot and your main story missions many of which are needed to expand your access to the map and such are dependent on that specifically. Your interactions with different factions, and why anyone even gives a crap about you in any respect by default comes specifically from your affiliation with Constellation which is your official job and role in the universe, regardless of any other factions you might be working with or join, and your alliance with them is always presented in the sense that it's known you have a greater overall alliance to Constellation. Or at least this is how it was explained to me.

The idea of setting out to specifically become a Bounty Hunter or whatever doesn't seem like something the game caters to, it would mostly just be a sideline. It's not like Captain Kirk could just suddenly decide to be Boba Fett and go roaring off with his Star Fleet credentials to brutalize people for crime lord pay offs without being kicked out. So the attitude as I understand it is more like "if in doing your duties as a space explorer and neutral peacekeeper you just happen to collect a bounty, so be it". That's how the universe is going to treat you to my understand, and it will apply to most things.

From what I was told the game is (at least in the version being played) gated at times by needing to establish so many outposts in a given area before Constellation promotes you and then opens up new areas for you to go to. It does all open up eventually, but you should be thinking of this as being pretty much the guy who goes and sets up the habitats and stuff future waves of explorers and scientists will presumably use, and just happens to wipe out any roughnecks that get in the way of this noble work. How much more complicated it gets, I have no idea, they are a bit tight lipped about the specifics, but this is what I'm being told the atmosphere is like.

Unlike other games the entire universe is not entirely open to begin with, and you can't say faff about ignoring the actual plot and premise as long as you want to, and pretty much just decide you want to be a brutal space pirate and do nothing else or something like that. You sort of have to play along with the intent of this one. Your not a freelancer, your pretty much like a government sanctioned space explorer.

I don't think you can. Bounty Hunters are mostly middle-aged white hetero men, and Bethesda wouldn't approve your path. Embrace the Wokeness and become a plant watcher on some distant planet or supreme master of vegetarian sciences.

This makes me cry that nobody remembers Bobby Sixkiller. :)

All joking aside, this is one area where I have a hard time thinking of when that stereotype might have been a universal truth. I mean ever since I was a kid whenever "Bounty Hunters" have showed up it's been pretty diverse and co-ed for whatever reason. Though to be fair in US media a lot of straight white men were predictably represented.

That said I already have my plot laid out for Starfield. Out of guilt my intended path is to take up planetary scale cannabis farming to kill the painful knowledge of my own whiteness while genetically engineering a retrovirus that will afflict all males with dwarfism ensuring no women will breed with them due to their short height, ensuring within 100 years all that will remain are self-cloning women who go on to create a properly ken-less utopia, cover the colonial systems in pink glitter, and only know physical pleasure thought lesbianism.

I've got this whole IC Manifesto planned, I plan to do a step by step playthrough I record in extreme detail here, explaining each minute detail of my choices and every selection I make and how it applies to furthering that objective and the goals of my manifesto which sees the future of humanity as morphing into a sort of righteous system I have dubbed Fuhrer-Barbie-ism.

I am interested in hearing if anyone has any similar plans, and will be equally disappointed if such just and obvious RP is not fully enabled by Bethesda's design and the in-game options. :)

And that took 3 hours.

Which is kind of impressive. Must have been the middle of the night.

You can. The more factions you associate with to a certain level, the greater the pool of bounties to choose from will be.
