Starfield, the grand space epic developed by Bethesda, has set a new standard for space games, but some of the game’s earlier elements can be a bit confounding, especially because it’s unclear how they may affect the future of the campaign. One of these core decisions comes right at the start of the game in the character creator. While many may spend a lot of time tweaking the look of their character, others will be more concerned with the various traits and backgrounds available.
Quickly, through the campaign, it’ll become apparent that the starting traits are important, as they provide specific bonuses that are listed in their description. However—backgrounds are less straightforward, as it isn’t exactly clear what choosing one over the other will result in, leading many to wonder which one they should select. Perhaps of all the backgrounds available, the most mysterious background in Starfield is File Not Found.
Selecting the File Not Found background option in the Starfield character creator will result in minor dialogue changes throughout the campaign and determine the custom character’s starting skills. However, it won’t have any major narrative implications for the campaign. In fact, in many ways, selecting the File Not Found background in Starfield is seemingly like starting with a clean slate. While other backgrounds like Cyber Runner or Diplomat may provide additional dialogue options in the campaign, the File Not Found background doesn’t seem to have much overall impact on most scenarios.
According to the game’s description, choosing the File Not Found background means there is no information about the created character’s past life. However, the direct reason for this is kept a secret. Options range from a simple clerical oversight to deletion from a powerful organization. Starfield, however, makes it a point to mention that “Whatever the reason, your past is known only to you,” which means the character is not a person suffering from memory loss, but indeed has a past that they are aware of.
Perhaps the biggest impact of the File Not Found background in Starfield is the character’s staring skills. Selecting File Not Found will provide the skills Wellness, Ballistics, and Piloting. Wellness increases maximum health by 10%, Ballistics increases pistol damage by 10%, and piloting enables the character to utilize ship thrusters.
