Despite not being the blockbuster success Microsoft had hoped for in terms of sales and popularity, Bethesda’s Starfield boasts a substantial number of active players. This space exploration and planet discovery game offers players the freedom to carve out their own paths as they progress through the galaxy.
A Reddit user posted about a surprising action taken by a prisoner on their ship, something they did not expect to see in the game. Such details reflect well on the studio, showcasing the NPCs’ varied behaviors.

One of the exclusive games released by Bethesda last year did not achieve the desired popularity but was still well received. Starfield allows players to explore the galaxy, visiting various planets, completing missions, and engaging in other activities.
Some fans had hoped for more development and possibilities, but overall, the majority were satisfied with what they received. Players continue to discover new details to this day.
In the official Reddit community for the game, a user posted a curious video showing a prisoner on their ship doing something no other player had discovered until then.
My prisoner is praying I have never seen such a thing before.🤷♂️🙈

Apparently, some NPCs begin to pray for no apparent reason, adding more variations to their behaviors. Users were surprised to see this and began commenting on the post. The studio has always been known for this kind of development for NPCs.
Many Users Think This NPC Is Related to Starborn Worshippers

Those who viewed this post began speculating that the prisoner might have ties to the Starborn community. These beings in Starfield are supposedly divine and linked to constellations; therefore, this NPC may be praying to them.
Of course, some users joked that the NPC was praying to the toilet or engaging in other humorous activities, but it’s fascinating to observe such behaviors in NPCs. It is always enjoyable to observe Bethesda NPCs in their natural state.
This demonstrates that, as in many of their games, Bethesda has thought of thousands of ways to give different behaviors and reactions to these characters. The idea is that each of these NPCs feels distinct and has its own personality.
However, there were also criticisms about these characters’ lack of gesticulation during interactions; their faces are very robot-like, and that is what fans have been asking to be adjusted.
This year, Starfield will release the much-anticipated expansion called Shattered Space. This DLC promises various additions, such as base-building, the use of different vehicles, and other features that players have been waiting for.
Bethesda promises to release this update before the end of the year, but they have not yet announced the exact date. The community hopes to see real changes with this downloadable content.
