Starfield Player's Mind-Blowing Creation: Lord Farquaad Emerges in Game, Enthralling Gamers
A Starfield player dominates the galaxy by embodying Lord Farquaad, the notorious ruler of Duloc from the iconic Shrek film, in an impressive in-game transformation
Highlights
Starfield players can customize their characters and ships to resemble beloved characters from popular movies, such as Lord Farquaad from Shrek.
Despite the lack of a height adjustment feature in Starfield, a player managed to successfully recreate a taller rendition of Lord Farquaad within the game.
John Lithgow lent his voice to the character of Lord Farquaad, the primary antagonist in the original Shrek film. Farquaad's ambitious goal was to marry Princess Fiona and ascend to the throne of Duloc. Although his fate was sealed in the movie, Farquaad's presence persists in Shrek video games, leaving a lasting impression in the gaming community.
A devoted Starfield player yearns to conquer the universe as the nefarious Lord Farquaad from Shrek. Bethesda's latest open-world RPG was initially available to premium edition buyers, but now all can hop into their personalized spacecraft and explore the game's extensive collection of over 1,000 procedurally generated planets. True to Bethesda's style, Starfield empowers players to traverse this vast universe at their own pace and design their in-game avatar to their liking.
Naturally, some players have utilized Starfield's character and ship customization tools to recreate famous characters and spaceships from popular movies. Notable examples include the Star Wars Millennium Falcon and the Futurama Planet Express ship. Additionally, players have embarked on Starfield adventures as Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story and Syndrome from The Incredibles. Now, another beloved character from a CGI children's film from the early-to-mid 2000s joins them in Starfield's final frontier, expecting nothing short of perfection during his intergalactic travels.
Shortly after the recent launch of Starfield on PC and Xbox Series X/S, a Reddit user known as OleiferousOwl showcased their in-game interpretation of the infamous Lord Farquaad from the popular Shrek franchise. OleiferousOwl's portrayal of the diminutive tyrant captures Farquaad's distinctive cleft chin and long, black pageboy haircut, although the character appears taller than in the movies due to Starfield's inability to adjust character height. Despite this limitation, other Starfield enthusiasts on Reddit have been sharing their admiration and quoting lines from the films.
Lord Farquaad, voiced by John Lithgow, played a pivotal role as the primary antagonist in the first Shrek film. His ambition to become the ruler of Duloc by marrying Princess Fiona drove the plot. Despite his demise, Farquaad has made appearances as an adversary in various Shrek video games. Inspired by Farquaad's medieval kingdom, Duloc, players have even named their Animal Crossing: New Horizons islands after it. As Shrek himself prepares to make a comeback in the upcoming DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing game, it remains uncertain whether his original nemesis will be included.
Despite Lord Farquaad's demise in the Shrek universe, his villainous legacy prevails in Starfield through OleiferousOwl's extraordinary interpretation. Any extraterrestrials or characters from fairy tales would be wise to avoid crossing paths with Farquaad, as he voyages across the galaxy, determined to find suitable planets to establish his future realm. Starfield can be played on both PC and Xbox Series X/S.
