Starfield isn’t exactly the paragon of perfect realism, but the particulars of one well-settled planet should be deadly. Here’s what the science says.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Theoretically, life on some of Starfield's most developed planets should be impossible. Planets in Starfield mostly fall into one of two categories: harsh wilderness with a smattering of alien lifeforms, and large central settlements surrounded by more of the same. Starfield isn't exactly known for its realism, but it clearly does take many factors into consideration in presenting a variety of different planets.

The resultant vapor rises into the atmosphere, where it's cooled by frigid high-altitude temperatures, and turns back into liquid in a process known as condensation. Condensation forms on close-knit particles in the air, and as more condensation gathers around a particular area, a cloud materializes. When a cloud is heavy enough, Earth's gravity pulls the water back down to the surface of the planet in the form of precipitation.

The fictional Starfield planet Akila, home to the Freestar Collective faction, is also larger than Earth, and has a gravitational acceleration of 1.51 gs. As a result, rain accelerates more quickly there, and hits everything it touches with more force. This could injure those exposed to rain unprotected. In the long term, it would erode buildings and destroy space suits. Akila sees regular precipitation, and Volii Alpha, a planet with similar gravity, is in a near-constant state of downpour.

By contrast, spending too much time on a high-gravity planet like Akila would cause bone density to increase. Rates of blood pressure and heart disease would also see spikes, as the heart would need to work much harder to ensure effective blood flow. Finally - and this is actually reflected in Starfield's gameplay - the greater exertion required by higher gravity would cause people to become more exhausted more quickly.
