Summary
By decking out their copy ofStarfieldwith over a hundred mods inspired byStar Wars, one player has managed to turn the Bethesda sandbox into a completely different experience altogether. ThoughStarfieldbroke several Bethesda records at launch, the game’s overall reception among fans has been notably mixed, with only 41% of its recent Steam reviews having a positive score. Despite this, many players feel thatStarfieldhas a lot of untapped potential – potential that could come to fruition through Shattered Space and the Creation Kit.
WhileShattered Space, thefirst expansion pack forStarfield, won’t be out until Fall 2024, the modding community forStarfieldhas managed to create an extensive list of quality additions to the base game even without the aid of a Creation Kit. An improved user interface, more ship manufacturers, and even graphical overhauls have contributed to makingStarfieldan even better experience on PC. That being said, many of these mods have also addedStar Warscontent to the game, and one player had the idea of collecting them all together.
DeityVengy, a YouTube content creator who primarily covers MMOs, released a video that highlighted his mod collection forStarfieldthat converted the game’s Settled Systems into something more closely resembling a Galaxy Far Far Away. Random civilians were replaced with several iconicStar Warsaliens, and Stormtroopers were added to New Atlantis in place of its security officers. By contrast, Akila City was turned into a stronghold for the Rebel Alliance, and allweapons inStarfieldhave been replaced with suitableStar Warscounterparts.
Starfield Player Turns the Game Into the Ultimate Star Wars Experience
Though the mod pack (andStarfielditself) allows players to build their character however they want, DeityVengy showcased their modded playthrough as a Mandalorian bounty hunter wearing Din Djarin’s iconic armor. Quite fittingly, the grav jump ability fromStarfieldis replaced by a Mandalorian jetpack, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in combat. While the modding community is severely restricted by alack of official modding tools forStarfield, the amount of changes that they were able to implement is nothing short of impressive.
WhileStarfieldhas fewer active players on SteamthanSkyrim,Fallout: New Vegas,Fallout 4, andFallout 76, the mod pack assembled by DeityVengy proves that the latest Bethesda title shouldn’t be written off just yet. The developers have provided players with frequent updates over the months since launch, and have recently added a much improved city map to the game. If the team at Bethesda sticks the landing with Shattered Space and the release of the new Creation Kit,Starfield’s dedicated community will take care of the rest.
