Starfield Players Are Finding Its Funniest Bugs, From Levitating NPCs to Missing Heads

ign.com:

While bugs in new games are far from uncommon, Bethesda Game Studios has a certain reputation for them - especially for those that happen to be both harmless and hilarious (there are more than a few compilations of the funniest Skyrim bugs out there). Starfield, while being less buggy than other Bethesda releases, most certainly still has a few, and a lot of them are predictably absurd.

Users on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and the Starfield subreddit have been posting all about the funny bugs and glitches they have encountered as they venture across the Settled Systems. Some on Reddit have reported, for example, watching NPCs missing half their bodies while standing in their ship; some see characters randomly floating in the air for no reason at all. One Redditor under the username TheRogu3DM found a bug where he heard loud gunshots and banging noises but could not find where the noise was coming from.

If you want a spooky glitch, other users have reported NPCs missing their heads.

And then there is, of course, more levitating. For example, an X user named Woodic3 encountered a bug where Vasco was walking in the air, as seen below.

MissMikkaa, (who's perhaps best known for the incredible feat of defeating Elden Ring's Malenia using a dance pad), meanwhile, posted a video where bunch of NPCs were waiting outside her spaceship and watching them all fall as the ship departs the planet.
