Lead designer, Emil Pagliarulo, explained: “When we first began Starfield pre-production, we looked back at our previous games and realised how popular and effective the companions were. So they were a big priority for us, and we really wanted to tie them directly to the main quest.”
With a bustling crew following us around and able to carry all the burdens we’d prefer not to, fans are already sharing what they look for in the ideal space-age companion. Chiefly, that any obsessions with building settlements is strictly a negative.
“Please God don’t let there be one who’s obsessed with helping settlements,”saidWarribo on Reddit. To rub further salt in the wounds, a user responded with this classic reply: “Settlements? Who ever heard of such a thing… Another colony needs your help! Here, let me mark it on your starmap”. Memories of ignoring Shaun while we gallivanted around inFallout4have come back with vengeance.
