Through the Gamescom Opening Night time Reside 2023 stream, two cool dudes—Todd Howard and Geoff Keighley—stood on stage and mentioned Starfield.

“Folks have been questioning what the principle questline goes to be after you create your character,” Geoff defined to Todd, highlighting the deep character customization system in Starfield. “I noticed even somebody on the web this week created you I believe, did you see that? Somebody tweeted out an image that they’d in some way found out to get you in there.”

Todd laughed, then adopted up with “I see numerous issues on the web…I’m undecided that’s actual.”

In order that obtained me questioning: Did somebody truly make Todd Howard in Starfield? After performing some looking out, I used to be in a position to discover this picture of what seemed to be a fairly correct portrayal of Todd Howard in Starfield:

It seems to be like Todd Howard was proper

As nice because it seems to be, Todd Howard was proper. It’s not actual. Regardless that it might appear to be an in depth model of Todd Howard in Starfield, it’s only a pretend. Greater than seemingly only a actually good Photoshop. As @FabianoLPeres on Twitter identified, the hair shaders that we’ve seen from movies highlighting the character creation merely don’t match up. Don’t get me mistaken, the hair shaders look nice and really detailed—however to not this excessive.

Additionally, the Twitter person that first posted the Todd Howard in Starfield picture, @Sergioodoardi, has posted one other Starfield character creation pretend: Commander Shepard from Mass Impact. Nevertheless, on this picture, it’s much more apparent that that is simply meant as a humorous photoshop.

With the Early Entry launch of Starfield quickly approaching, it received’t be lengthy till we begin seeing some cool creations. I’m positive we’ll find yourself seeing a fairly stable depiction of Todd Howard in any case.

Starfield releases on PC and Xbox Sequence X|S on September 6. It is going to even be on Xbox Recreation Go.
