Starfield’s Space Plushies are Giving Me Life & I Need Them IRL, Please

There’s rather a lot to like about Starfield: the house dogfights, the exploration, the neverending checklist of quests, the superb major story… Oh, and in addition the plushies.

Sure, you learn that proper. Whereas Bethesda has all the time been lauded for his or her impeccable consideration to element, it actually does really feel like they’ve taken issues to a complete different stage with Starfield. All of us bear in mind The Lusty Argonian Maid from Elder Scrolls, and that was humorous and all, however by no means have I been so enthralled by Starfield’s criminally lovable line of house plushies.

I first encountered these once I arrived at Jemison. I’d picked the Child Stuff trait in the beginning of the sport, which allowed me to go to my dad and mom within the metropolis, although it additionally meant having to ship them a small quantity of Credit every week. Who knew filial piety was nonetheless a factor within the house age?

Upon coming into my dad and mom’ house, they directed me to my outdated bed room, which had been left untouched since I left dwelling to work for Argos, and the very first thing I noticed was my beloved Parsecpooch.

I imply, simply take a look at this factor! It’s a canine in an area helmet!

I by no means knew I wanted a canine plushie with an area helmet so badly till I laid eyes on Parsecpooch. And the identify? The identify is simply *chef’s kiss*. The amalgamation of an astronomical unit with an endearing pet identify is simply perfection. It’s a pooch that measures distance in parsecs. What extra do it is advisable know?

Out of the nook of my eye, I additionally noticed one other plushie hiding on my shelf. Right here’s Plushie Galacticat.

Not fairly as cute or as catchy of a reputation as Parsecpooch, I admit, however the harm was achieved. For sure, the invention of those two lovable plushies despatched me on an admittedly unhinged journey to seek out and gather each single merchandise on this house plush line.

The outcomes have been… disappointing. I’d solely managed to search out two different plushies over the course of my travels in Starfield, they usually weren’t even that cute.

Right here’s Xenosnuggle and Cuddleosaur. They’re house aliens and dinosaurs, I assume? I was fairly obsessive about dinos as a child so I used to be joyful so as to add these to my assortment, and I suppose Cuddleosaur’s a reasonably first rate plushie identify.

Truly, on second thought, Xenosnuggle is a reasonably humorous identify too. Just like the terrifying Xenomorphs that Ripley’s spent her entire life making an attempt to annihilate in Aliens, however snuggly.

Nonetheless, none had managed to elicit that very same sense of pure, unbridled pleasure I obtained from laying eyes on Parsecpooch for the primary time. It was all downhill from there; I simply didn’t understand it.

Even so, it was good discovering happiness within the smallest of particulars in Starfield, a sport that’s been marketed to be the largest, and most expansive RPG Bethesda’s ever put out. Somebody make these house plushies a factor in actual life please. I’ll pay good Credit for them.
