Unforgettable Starfield Moment: Player Left Stranded by Their Ship Will Leave You in Stitches

Highlights

A comical bug in Starfield led to a player being abandoned by their own spaceship, showcasing the quirky nature of Bethesda games.

During its early access period, Starfield has already become a favorite among players, setting new records for the number of people playing simultaneously on PC. Despite the expected occurrence of bugs and glitches in such an immersive game, players can depend on modding and community fixes to enhance their Starfield experience.

Starfield's comical bug, as showcased in a clip, left an unfortunate player abandoned by their spaceship. This incident highlights the well-known quirks in Bethesda games that often lead to meme-worthy moments, establishing Starfield as no exception. Despite being in its early-access phase, Starfield has already garnered immense popularity, particularly among PC players, breaking records for concurrent players. The game is scheduled for a September 6 release, and it is highly anticipated that the player base will continue to grow. Given the vast number of people engaging with this highly interactive game, it is inevitable that bugs and glitches will be discovered in Starfield.

One notable instance comes from Reddit user evaTK3, who shared a video of their ship abandoning them in Starfield. The video begins with the player customizing their Starfield ship. However, right after they finished interacting with an NPC and checked on their modifications, the ship suddenly took off on its own. The amusement continues as the player simply stands and watches their ship fly off into space without any control.

Another user humorously commented, "Shouldn't have installed such an advanced A.I. module." In Starfield, players have the freedom to customize their ships and add various modules within their budget. However, it's important for players to check for error messages, especially when installing multiple instances of a specific item. In this particular case, the player didn't seem to make any drastic modifications other than adding a cargo hold, highlighting the quirky glitches that can occur in Starfield, reminiscent of Bethesda's traditional quirks.

It is quite common for objects to unexpectedly fly away in Bethesda games. These objects don't necessarily have to be designed for flying, like a horse soaring off a small bridge in Skyrim or another object mysteriously levitating in the presence of dragons. While Starfield may be Bethesda's least buggy game, it still has its moments of amusing glitches.

Fortunately, Starfield can be easily modified by players, just like any other Bethesda game. This means that the community can create fixes to address some of the bugs in Starfield. As history has shown with previous Bethesda games, the support and contributions from the community will further improve the game over time.

Starfield is available now during early access and officially launches September 6 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
