Starfield officially launched out of early access on Wednesday, and so far, it seems to be the most bug-free game Bethesda has released.
That being said, some little glitches have managed to slip through the cracks, and while there have been a few reports of crashes, most of these slips are actually really rather funny.
So, as it is Friday, here is a little collection of amusing ways Starfield has , to put a smile on your face ahead of the weekend.
Please note, while none of these bugs specifically go into story details, some characters and locations could be considered spoilers. Therefore, if you are wanting to enjoy Starfield in your own time and with a completely blank slate, this is your cue to head elsewhere.
First up, we have a series of NPCs without heads and upper bodies, making for a rather alarming conversation.
While I have no doubt there are many weird and wonderful creatures out there among the stars, speaking to your fellow crewmates when all that speaks back is a pair of eyes and a hairpiece was not something I had on my intergalactic travel bingo card.

Speaking of NPCs that aren’t all there, here’s Starfield’s enigmatic ‘The Hunter’ casually telling the player he will “see [them] around”, before rather gracefully sliding into the wall behind.
While this disappearing trick is clearly not intentional, of all the characters this bug could have happened to, The Hunter seems quite appropriate.
A classic Bethesda bug with perfect comedic timing. “I’ll see you around”

Other Starfield NPCs, meanwhile, just don’t seem to understand the concept of personal space.
Here are a couple of literal space invaders interrupting conversations without any respect for privacy.
I was casually talking to an NPC when this happened, spent about 5 minutes in uncontrollable laughter

One Starfield NPC many will already know and, er, love (?) is the Adoring Fan.
This Elder Scrolls throwback can be a rather endearing member of your team, but that does not mean he is without his foibles.
Many have found him skittering about the screen in a rather maniacal fashion, or just outright sinking down into the floor.
my adoring fan is already too overzealous #Starfield no spoilers pic.twitter.com/20gXqu4Gw9

Didn’t know being an adoring fan made you able to zip around at will until you make people feel sick.#Starfield pic.twitter.com/7WLPJXWJVu

While this rather erratic behaviour could get wearisome, we shouldn’t be too hard on the poor chap. After all, he truly is an adoring Adoring Fan, and as this player found out, he will even walk through fire for you. Awww.
