The Starfield Kid Stuff trait gives your character living parents in the game, allowing you to see your mom and dad. But all traits, like the Empath and Alien DNA traits, have an upside and a downside. Given that the description of the Kid Stuff trait says that you need to give your parents 2% of your total credits every in-game week, that can add up quickly. On the other hand, your parents provide some unique dialogue as well as some unique items that you can’t get anywhere else. Here’s whether it is worth choosing the Kid Stuff trait at the beginning of Starfield.
Is the Starfield Kid Stuff trait worth taking?
Yes, the Starfield Kid Stuff trait is worth taking if you are looking for unique items and special dialogue.
In our playthrough, taking the Kid Stuff trait had the parents appear in the Family Apartments (a fitting name) at Pioneer Tower. This is located in the Residential District of New Atlantis, with the tower placed close to the NAT station. You will receive a notification to visit your parents in the city after you complete the first main quest called One Small Step.
We won’t spoil their dialogue in any way, particularly their reactions to you joining a group like Constellation. It also becomes apparent in the conversation with your in-game mom and dad why they need the credits from you. And it also becomes clear, if you speak with the father, how to remove the Kid Stuff trait.
That said, you will receive items from your parents that you can’t get anywhere else. We received a recipe for your grandfather’s meatloaf, which has a lot of buffs when eaten, as well as a special pistol with a lot of power and modifications early in the game. We also got a special scene where your parents visit Constellation.
