Skill respect has become a standard feature in modern RPGs. This feature allows you to experiment with the game by min-maxing the skill tree to create an optimal build, one that suits your liking and playstyle. Of course, with the release of Starfield, players are wondering if Bethesda's sci-fi RPG will allow you to honor your skill points. After all, it is a big RPG and has a huge skill tree. In this guide, let's find the answer to your question and learn if you can respect and redistribute skill points in Starfield.

The definite and short answer to your question is no. You cannot under any circumstances respect your character's skills in Starfield. While you gain a single skill point with each level up in Starfield, you need to be careful in choosing which skill you want to unlock.

Given the nature of the game, you would naturally want to experiment with the different skills available in the game. Unfortunately, that's not an option here, and it seems Bethesda wants you to stick to your guns and play with the options you choose the first time.

This brings up the point of randomly unlocking anything and everything. Don't do it. Unlock the essentials required to perform well in the first few hours. For example, you need to unlock the corresponding skill in order to use a boost pack in Starfield (it's basically a jet pack). If you don't, you'll be stuck with a useless boost pack until you get the next skill point. Therefore, read the skill descriptions carefully before unlocking a skill. Give it a thought!
