Bethesda‘s Starfield created a lot of buzz in the media way ahead of its release. This Xbox exclusive will finally become available to fans on the 6th of September. Fan-made trailers and a flurry of theories have been making their rounds on social media. More recently, an observation by a fan received a lot of traction on Reddit.

With Starfield’s release just around the corner, fans have started to analyze even the smallest details about the game. One Starfield fan was recently spotted talking about a real-time feature in the game on his Reddit account. Apart from the almost-perfect character creation through the character creator app, this real-time feature also received much appreciation from Starfield fans.

The feature has to do with pick-pocketing. Previous Bethesda games have had the pick-pocketing feature, but it was usually buggy and contributed to poor gameplay. However, Starfield will offer players a real-time pick-pocketing experience, which is also expected to be less buggy.

This person posted a video of the game clip that showed the game’s real-time pick-pocketing – “This is the first Bethesda game that features pickpocketing in real-time.” Bethesda’s inclusion of real-time features in-game surely blew fans’ minds. They look forward to experiencing this feature as soon as the game becomes available.

Soon after the Reddit post was published, Starfield fans expressed their views about the post. A lot of them had failed to notice the feature before. However, when it was brought to their attention, they definitely seemed impressed.

One fan commented: “Huh. I didn’t think about it initially, but you’re right. That significantly increases the tension.”

Starfield fans were also spotted sharing related theories – “I wonder if lock picking will be the same way. It is in dying light and adds a considerable amount of anxiety while trying to lock pick with baddies nearby.”

People seemed concerned about this real-time feature and its functions in the game- “It does add significantly more danger to criminal gameplay if that’s the case, because you’ll need to time your lockpicking more carefully than before.”
