Summary
Starfield’s world is made for vast exploration, and as the game is set to have its first DLC released hopefully sometime this year, many players are wondering what questions the expansion will help answer. With Bethesda having a reputation for including mysteries and hidden details in its games, one ofStarfield’s biggest mysteries mirrors an unsolved case inRed Dead Redemption 2.
One of the biggest mysteries inRed Dead Redemption 2is the disappearance ofPrincess Isabeau Katharina Zinmeister. In the game, players may come across a missing person’s poster that Arthur can hold onto, but the game doesn’t instruct the player to search any further for the Princess' whereabouts. There are theories that a storyline revolving around the Princess was cut, but it still remains a mystery years later.Starfieldis no stranger to mysterious disappearances, as the location of Constellation founder Sebastian Banks is one of the biggest questions many fans are left with after completing the game.
Sebastian Banks Remains A Mystery in Starfield
Sebastian Banks formed Constellation 55 years before the events ofStarfieldas an organization dedicated to exploring the unknown.Constellation is a central part ofStarfield’s story, and one of the game’s greatest mysteries revolves around the founder. All that is known about Banks and his disappearance is that he went out to explore on his own and was never heard from again.
Theories Surrounding His Disappearance
Such a puzzling disappearance is fertile soil for theories to sprout up, and plenty of them have been crafted since fans realized there was no sign of Sebastian Banks within the game. From speculations on Banks being a Starborn to the leader ofthe mysterious House Va’ruun, players have been looking for any crumb of evidence they can get their hands on. WithStarfieldbeing so focused on uncovering the unknown, it is mind-boggling that there aren’t any clear clues that give hints as to where Sebastian Banks could be, which just makes the mystery that much more enticing.
Players have spenthours searching throughStarfield, and although there are plenty of interesting things found, not one of them has helped solve the mystery of Sebastian Banks. It takes a special kind of person to create an organization like Constellation, and it would be great to finally get to meet the man who started such an interesting group.
Starfield DLC Could Hold Long-Awaited Answers
Theupcoming Shattered Space DLCforStarfieldcould finally shed light on this. As theories about Sebastian’s whereabouts persist, so do theories about how he will be addressed in the DLC. Unanswered questions may have been purposeful, for instance, and Sebastian Banks could finally be revealed in Shattered Space. There is already speculation in the community that Shattered Space will reveal more about House Va’ruun, and if that’s the case, maybe the theories of Banks leading the mysterious religious government will be proven correct.
Until the Shattered Space DLC is finally released, only theories remain as loose explanations and interpretations of Sebastian Banks and his bizarre disappearance into the unknown. Months after the game’s release, players are stilldiscovering new things inStarfield, so there is still the possibility that his location and fate are just incredibly well hidden, but there will hopefully be answers given within Shattered Space as well.
