Let Starfield’s Todd Howard light your way with this flashlight mod

Within about half a picosecond of the early release of Starfield, there was already a ruck of mods for Bethesda’s new IP. The numerous ways you can tinker with the space-faring RPG are only going to increase, but for now, how about one that lets director Todd Howard’s face literally shine a light on the situation?

Over on Nexus Mods, user GeraldMods pays a fitting tribute to Mr. Skyrim himself by replacing the regular flashlight in Starfield with Howard’s own visage. For seemingly no other reason than it being “funny,” this mod allows you to see the face of Bethesda wherever darkness reigns. You know, if you’re into that sort of thing.

But just to further sell the idea to you, GeraldMods also says that their flashlight offers “16 times the details” over the vanilla one. Although, it doesn’t say whether it’s brighter or not.

Up next: a Pete Hines soundboard…maybe

Over the weekend, those of you who bought the Premium Edition of Starfield have no doubt been glued to your Xbox or PC. In fact, you’re probably not even reading this article. It’s just us lowly peons left who have to wait until Wednesday to play. The reviews have been coming in thick and fast. If you’re like me, you’ve probably been trying to avoid opinion pieces about the game. However, given the sheer number of people who’ve been playing these last few days, it sounds like it’s mostly living up to the hype.

Suffice it to say, if you don’t hear from me after Wednesday, please don’t send help. Starfield will release fully on September 6 for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass.
