If you're wondering how to respec in Starfield, there's a reason you can't locate the option in-game: It doesn't exist. Instead, there are dozens of skills to unlock, and each one of them can be further enhanced three times over, giving players a massive tiered system of skills to acquire. It would stand to reason that you may wish you could undo a build and respec, or reset your skills, and though you can't, the game makes up for it with a different feature. Here's what you need to know about how to respec in Starfield, as well as the game's level cap details.

Starfield respec and level cap

Sure, it would be nice to respec your character when you've already poured dozens of skill points into them, but you can't do it here. Bethesda Game Studios veterans will find this system familiar though, as instead of a respec option, you can simply keep amassing any and all skills you want to, just like in The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. There's no level cap in Starfield, meaning you could eventually possess every single skill in the game. How's that for a consolation (Constellation?) prize?

Of course, just because you can eventually acquire all skills doesn't mean you should haphazardly unlock whatever your cursor lands on when you open the skills menu. Some are better than others, and you'll want to have some in particular as early as you can get them, so use our guides on the best skills in Starfield, as well as the best backgrounds in Starfield, which grants you three skill unlocks with which you'll start the game. Keep in mind these are bundled as a trio in each case, though, so you won't have free rein of the options.
