Think there will be a "Dark Brotherhood"-like faction?

[♥ Beepy ♥]

I know it's a new title, but with so many references to their other titles, do you think they'd add a bounty hunting faction similar to that of the DB in Elder Scrolls titles?

If so, I know who I'm throwing my credits in with first chance I get. (Aside from the usual, take literally everything that isn't bolted to the floor and sell it).

In the other games there's always these repeating themes ... cannibals in Fallout, Assassins in Elder Scrolls. Remains to be seen if those will crossover into the new frontier. If they do, I hope there's a non-console way to fix your karma when it comes time to seek redemption and be Lawful Good.

I want to be the Guildmaster of everything, but end the game in righteousness.

[BEEP!]

It might be the snake lady faction that sounds like a cult.

I've always been morally grey when it comes to RPG's. I guess somewhat chaotic-neutral would be the best way to describe it. I've joined hostile factions to further my personal goals / needs for gear etc only to slaughter them all when I've had my fill.

Same with NPC's that are cool at first then they do something a bit out of line down the road. You're either helping or hindering... and in the case of the latter, one will usually wind up dead.

So, Cannibal Assassins?

I have a feeling there will be some shady people to work for to lessen certain competition.

I'm always Lawful Good when I have a choice. That's why I liked Oblivion GOTY, you're a criminal so you kill somebody and join the brotherhood, then move over to the thief guild, then see the itinerant preacher in Anvil and do your Pilgrimage. Viola, all your sins are washed clean and you can move on to the Fighter, Mage and Knights of the Nine.

Ending the game as a Knight in Shining Armor riding on his fine Arab Charger, and putting the kingdom to right.

If the price is right and there are loot and ships to... uh.... "liberate", I'm in.

Yes there is a bounty hunting faction that you can choose to assist or become the target of.

[RamiroRa]

For sure!

A "pirate" faction would likely be present. However, I am hoping for a "transformation" option, where you are no longer a true human (like the vampire or werewolf in other games).

Pirates are most certainly present. And you can join them. Then you can betray them..... :)

There are also 'enhancement' shops... Not sure if that will simply consist of rearranging your face, or if we can get cybernetic implants and such. (that would be fun too.)

The folks that worship the snake were mentioned.

There is of course Neon the fish drug dealers.

They'll probably make it a would-you-rather situation where you have to pick something but they all have something nobody will like.

While this ain't TES, TES is lousy with would-you-rather situations between bad and worse. Same with their Fallouts. It wouldn't be a surprise if STARFIELD did the same.

(ESO doesn't count. It seems nobody wants to make those kinds of choices in an MMO. They tried with the TES version of Vampire only to later flip it to be one logical choice instead of deciding which issues and benefits one would rather have. Each faction story had their social issues, but it no longer matters for One Tamriel. You can be everything.)

It was said you could join up with the Crimson Pirates, so there's that...

assassin poison cults are always a staple in any good RPG option
