From the adoring fan of Oblivion to Star Wars, among the many Starfield Easter eggs there is room (and not just in a figurative sense) for a Bethesda homage to Gaming Culture.
Discovered for the first time during the Starfield Direct organized by Todd Howard and his companions in June 2023, the Easter egg chosen by Bethesda to celebrate the gaming community is 'hidden in plain sight' among the many buttons on the sci-fi instrumentation accessible from spaceship cockpit of the Microsoft exclusive space opera.
The 'silent traveling companion' chosen by Bethesda studios to guide every space explorer who shuttles between the planets and moons of the Starfield Starfield takes the form of a small but important button on the cockpit: the Rage Quit!
If you are a big fan of video games, you will already know that the English term 'Rage Quit' indicates behaviors such as those adopted by those who, in the throes of anger and frustration for a game session that was not particularly fruitful or plagued by bugs and various problems, he decides to forcefully shut down your PC (or console) to end a game before its 'natural' conclusion.
In the sci-fi universe outlined by Bethesda with the official Starfield chronology, therefore, Gaming Culture will be one of the legacies that future humanity will want to preserve for subsequent generations of interstellar explorers, hence the interest aroused by this Easter egg with his cyclical reappearance on social media usually accompanied by lively discussions on forums like Reddit. In this regard, we recommend you read this in-depth analysis of ours on the realism and science of Starfield between engineering and video games.
