Why would I want to romance any of Starfield's creepy-looking NPCs?
. It's great to get a better sense of what the game really is, but it's frustrating to see Bethesda retreading a load of the same old flaws its games have been suffering from for decades now. Nowhere is that more evident than the companion system.
Companions are the characters that'll actually follow you around, have personal quests, etc. It's telling that the bland examples we're introduced to, including"Sarah Morgan" and"Barrett", seem to be defined more by their skills than any clear personality. But not only are we told we'll be building relationships with this lot over the course of the game, Bethesda's also threatening romance options.
If we're honest with ourselves, it's never even managed to make companions useful, let alone likeable. Dreadful AI has made party members a combat liability in every Bethesda game so far—bumbling fools who set off traps and run around in circles, and only really function as pack mules. Starfield's companions couldn't look more like the same again, and this time they're lacking even the distinctive looks and gimmicks of those in Fallout or The Elder Scrolls.
