Starfield Could Achieve a Dual Benefit With This Major Addition

Since last fall with that first DLC drop, Starfield’s been… kind of snoozing, right? Bethesda’s space epic just hasn’t hit those legendary vibes we got from their older stuff. But hey, there’s still room for a glow-up. Fans are itching for some news – maybe a big expansion or just a little sprinkle of new content. Seems like next month could finally be the moment. Fingers crossed.

So, there’s this buzz because Bethesda’s gonna be at Gamescom this year. Opening Night Live usually dishes out some big reveals, so who knows what we’re in for? Maybe that second DLC or the whispers of a PS5 port? Guess we’ll just camp out and see. And hey, pets! Like, tossing a few critters in could spice things up, right?

Since Starfield dropped in ’23, it’s felt a bit… sterile. Don’t get me wrong, there’s cool stuff, but we’ve been hoping Bethesda’s got more up their sleeve. After the lukewarm “Shattered Space” rollout, they kinda need to make a splash next. Adding pets? Not revolutionary, but definitely a fun twist, I think.

And get this – might not just be Starfield at Gamescom. Rumors flying around about a Fallout 3 remaster and, who knows, maybe some Elder Scrolls 6 crumbs? Been waiting since 2018, and that game is like, mythical at this point.

Remember Dogmeat from Fallout 4? Total sweetheart of a German Shepherd. Decorating him with armor, using him as a tracker, or just having a buddy in the wasteland – he was the best. Makes me wonder if some Starfield pet could bring that same magic.

Now, real talk – a space puppy or kitty? Adorable, but maybe not Starfield’s vibe. Unless they get tiny spacesuits? But I overheard some speculation – maybe those cute Earth animals are toast in this universe. Yet, this NPC, Paisley, has a pet lizard named Grumble. Plump, grumpy, and a whole mood.

Anyway, Starfield might be in a bit of a rut, but it’s got potential. Look at Cyberpunk 2077 – revived itself after being a total trainwreck. Gamescom could finally spill some beans on what comes next. Let’s hope the wait’s worth it.
