Starfield Player Struggles to Get Familiar-Looking NPC to Leave Their Ship

Highlights

  • Starfield fans are sharing jokes about NPCs resembling Todd Howard appearing as unwanted stowaways on their ships.
  • Players are struggling to remove these NPCs, with some resorting to extreme measures like killing them.

As a dedicated Starfield fan with countless hours spent exploring Bethesda’s latest open-world space epic, I can’t help but share my amusement and frustration over the recent discovery of an unwanted stowaway on my ship. This Todd Howard lookalike NPC, who just appeared out of nowhere, has become the talk of the Starfield community.

A Starfield player recounted an encounter where a NPC with a striking resemblance to one they had met before, unexpectedly joined their ship. Unable to make them leave, this situation has sparked amusement among fans, drawing comparisons to experiences in Bethesda games. Many Starfield players have confessed to having gone through the same predicament.

In Starfield, players embark on a journey through space aboard their personal vessel. This ship functions as a base camp, allowing players to interact with Starfield’s crew and companions when not exploring the surfaces of planets. It is common for Bethesda games, including Starfield, to experience odd bugs or glitches; this occurrence may have an explanation.

Starfield player justsodizzy shared on Reddit their unexpected encounter with an uninvited guest on their spaceship. This mysterious figure is an unnamed NPC, who inexplicably appeared with no apparent cause. When engaged in conversation, the NPC seems to speak incoherently, leaving justsodizzy puzzled. Despite their efforts, they have yet to find a solution to remove this unwanted passenger from their vessel. Interestingly, the appearance of this character bears a striking resemblance to Todd Howard, the Director and Executive Producer at Bethesda.

Explaining the Stowaway Citizen

Some commentators have playfully teased about the Todd Howard doppelganger in the game, making light of his unwanted appearance on the player’s ship. Many of these quips suggest that the only way to make him disappear is by buying another version of Skyrim – a humorous nod to the game’s numerous releases across different platforms, including Skyrim for Alexa.

An attentive fan proposed a solution: changing the player’s main spaceship due to an earlier discovery of a Todd doppelganger on it. However, this remedy apparently didn’t resolve the issue. Some users speculated that justsodizzy might have taken on a passenger for an escort mission unintentionally or forgotten about it. This could result in NPCs accompanying the player if the escort wasn’t finished promptly. While justsodizzy remained silent regarding this theory, it seems they grew tired of the passenger and ended their presence through lethal means. This incident angered Barrett, but justsodizzy justified their actions, arguing that Barrett should have been upset about the stowaway rather than the player’s response.

A few players have pointed out that there appear to be numerous NPCs in the game who look like Todd Howard, although this likeness is said not to be deliberate. Some speculate that it might not be a mere coincidence, but given that Starfield includes NPCs with clone children, it’s not entirely impossible.
