Yes, that’s the sucker up there, smirking from his breakfast bar seat like he’s the cat’s pyjamas. Why is he like this? I’ve heard anedoctally that your in-game parents are based on whatever sliders and levers you feed into thecharacter creator, but if this were true, I still don’t believe that you could feasibly extrapolatethatfrom what my character looks like:

The harsh lighting in Constellation’s Lodge clearly isn’t doing him any favours here, either. Props to my parents for installing soft, warm lighting at home to somehow make my dad marginally less frightening, I guess… |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bethesda Softworks
Ahem Sorry, got carried away there for a second. Brrrrr. Thing is, it would be totally fine if my Starfield dad stayed locked away in his apartment like a good little goblin man, but he just… keeps… showing up places and embarrassing me. I mean, Starfield’s NPCs aren’t really nuanced enough to actually react like he’s hanging around like a bad smell, but if this happened in something likeBaldur’s Gate 3or, I dunno,real life, you can bet my Constellation colleagues would be like, “You sure you’re related to that guy? You want us to… kick him out for you?” Honestly, it’s bad enough when your parents show up at work with a care basket saying what a great daughter you are and what a good little space cadet you’re going to be, but when I travel out to Neon on official Constellation business, trying to set up a covert meeting to obtain another artifact and catch them both raving it up in the Astral Lounge, pretending they definitelyhadn’ttaken Aurora drugs… That’s just…Daaaaaaaaaaaad, stop it, please, I’mtrying to look cool in front of Barret and my boss, okay?! Geez.
Parents. You can’t take them anywhere.
Nope, I still don’t see how these two humans can possibly be related… |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bethesda Softworks
Really, I should just remove theKid Stuff traitand pretend like this all never happened. I think it would be better for everyone’s sake if I did. Just cut all ties and let them carry on living their terrifying lives, all flappy lips and wet kisses. Seriously, I hate to think of the state of his beard under there. Shaving it must be a nightmare…
