Summary
OneStarfieldplayer was amused to find that they had a look-alike in-game. While it’s easy to createStarfieldprotagonists that look like famous people or characters, NPCs are a different story. These non-playable ones are provided by Bethesda and so a random in-game person will resembling a real-life face is expected to be low. While other games use actors as face references for in-game characters,Starfield’s devs have been using the game engine to populate the game world.
Some people have noted how lifelike the game’s population is. The NPCs generally look good, and they also react in a manner that tries to emulate human behavior. While there have been instances where someStarfieldcharacters seem to have a staring problem, the visuals remain impressive nonetheless. All these small details and graphical marvels help make the game into a live world that functions as close as it can to real life. However, one gamer may have felt that the game was too close for comfort.

Reddit user I_Am_Naiwal posted a hilarious clip on the platform showing what looks to be a video game version of themselves. While encounteringStarfield’s John Tuala in-game, the user went on to copy the mannerisms of said character to show how much they looked alike. This included adding subtitles of hilarious dialogue selections onscreen as a fun take on the uncanny resemblance with the NPC. While this is most likely a coincidence, it was a humorous one that I_Am_Naiwal decided to poke fun at.
Luckily, the Reddit user got a good laugh at his virtual twin and didn’t experience a visual glitch, unlike others. Some users have reported isolated cases ofdeformed and buggedStarfieldNPCs, which would have been not just an awkward moment, but also scary to look at as well. Seeing one’s in-game doppelganger suffer extreme contortion and distortion might just scare off any players right off the bat, and possibly make the user feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, these types of things don’t happen often.
AsStarfieldand other Bethesda games are known for populating the in-game world with many different sizes, shapes, genders, and even species of characters, it is quite surprising to find that I_Am_Naiwal has a look-alike in a game they’re playing. Maybe a few other NPCs or even one of themanyStarfieldcompanionshave their real-world counterparts as well. It would be funny if other people started posting about their visual in-game twins. WithStarfield’s player base continuously growing, the possibility that more look-alikes might come sooner than later is highly likely.
Starfieldis available now for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
