Widely-Hyped Xbox Exclusive Starfield Set to Show Off Infamous Feature From Bethesda Classics

Starfield is an ambitious game from Bethesda in over 25 years. The studio behind iconic hits like Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout has been busy working on this title for a long time. And it was quite evident to see as well in the recent Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase. The first major details and looks from the game did make a solid impression on the curious fans.

However, as the days are passing, new information and leaks are also emerging about Starfield every day. While some of them have revealed good news for its awaited release, there are certain updates that might disappoint those who were looking for freshness in this new open-world RPG from Bethesda.

Starfield has similar stiff facial animations as Skyrim and Oblivion

During the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, the project’s team revealed a lot of exciting things about it. Players in this game will enter the year 2330, joining The Constellation. It’s the last group remaining, comprising the space explorers who seek rare artifacts in the galaxy.

Starfield will let the players venture through the stars while getting to know a huge cast of characters involved in a grand quest. The AAA open-world RPG will offer tons of customization options for in-game items and also for creating the main character.

However, a recent leak, emerging on Reddit, reportedly revealed that one aspect of Starfield might disappoint several fans.

A user named starflame, posted a GIF image taken from the recent gameplay footage for the title. While sharing it, the user wrote that Starfield will have the same stiff facial animations as Bethesda’s old games, namely Skyrim and Oblivion.

Simply put, the facial movement in the upcoming Xbox exclusive will remain limited for the NPCs. There won’t be a free movement of the characters themselves when the main protagonist interacts with them. That’s according to the Reddit user who shared this post.

It’s yet to be seen if it will be a good thing or a bad thing for the AAA project.
