Starfield Shows Off Its VASCO Robot Companion
Robots have been a fixture of fiction ever since the concept was popularised last century, with movies and TV shows of the 1980s and 1990s helping to fix the electronic helpers in the popular imagination. Bonus fact: 'Robot' comes from the Czech word robota, which means 'forced labour'. In video games meanwhile, robot companions that come to mind include Ratchet's buddy Clank , Fallen Order's BD-1, Borderlands' Claptrap, and Half-Life's Dog, while Jack from the Tekken series comes in various forms as a playable character. Now, to add to this list, the hotly anticipated Starfield has shown off its own forthcoming robot.
