Who is the Adoring Fan

The Adoring Fan is a non-playable character in Starfield who constantly follows you around and praises you. Don’t be surprised to see him in the most unexpected locations and if you’re lucky enough, he might bring some gifts for you once in a while.

Who is the Adoring Fan in Starfield?

The Adoring Fan in Starfield is originally from Bethesda’s other hit RPG Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The latter was released in 2006, and the Adoring Fan basically had the same role in it. He would follow players, hide during battles, and tirelessly admire them.

Interestingly, the Adoring Fan respawned in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion even if he got killed during a battle. The NPC ended up becoming one of the most talked-about elements of the game, and Bethesda might have added him to Starfield as a small yet exciting Easter Egg for its long-time fans.

Players will be delighted to learn that the Adoring Fan is portrayed by none other than Craig Sechle, the original voice actor for the character.
