If you ever became Grand Champion in the combat arena inThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, then you will recognise the little cone-headed gimp who made a surprise cameo in tonight’sStarfielddeep dive, streamed as part of theXbox Games Showcasefor not-E3. In the case of the upcoming space-themed mega-RPG, he’ll attach to your character if you choose the trait Hero Worshipped. He still has stupid hair inStarfield, too.

Anyway, it sounds like Adoring Fan will be just a tad more useful in Starfield, as he will “join your ship’s crew and give you gifts”, but on the other hand he’s only good at Scavenging, Weight Lifting and Concealment, so the gifts will probably be shit. Also the trait screen says he’ll “show up randomly”, which means he probably uses the Concealment skill to jump-scare you with his triangular head, like a big yellow Toblerone.
On the plus side, it does look like you can shoot him with both barrels in the back if he does turn out to be too creepy and/or annoying, so that’s nice. You can see my man in the video above at about the 15 minute mark. Our Liam wrote aboutthe character creation and traitsin a bit more detail, and if you missed any or indeed all of the Xbox Games Showcase we’ve got you covered with aneverything we saw list. Handy!
