If you’re someone that likes to rack up your levels quickly, then you might want to find a companion in Starfield quickly.

Starfield, is, you might be surprised to hear, a video game. And with video games comes different gameplay features, like gunplay, levels, and status effects. Sometimes these status effects have things like buffs, which can add a little pep in your step. As it turns out, Starfield too has status effects with buffs! For example, did you know if you sleep with a companion, you get an XP boost? Sorry, what’s that? You think I’m just doing a little goof? No, no, it’s true, and best of all, the effect is quite literally called “emotional security.”

    Holy shit that article reaks of AI generated content. If it was written by a someone that claims to be human, then that human needs a Voight-Kampff test ASAP.

      This is one case where I almost posted a summary from another source that linked to it, but there seems to be a (loose?) norm here around posting the original sources.

      It’s a bit that wrote it. Remember the source and never goto their site or read their content

      • Yea, maybe there are some writers that aren’t as shit on vg247, but filtering their garbage by author is a lot more work than just blackholing the domain.
        I’ve started using pihole for particularly egregious stuff that I don’t want to even work whenever I forget how shit they are.

    Skyrim had the same thing “lover’s embrace.” It is not new.

    • It’s a Bethesda classic that’s also in Fallout.
      Breaking news: Bethesda game made by Bethesda has classic Bethesda mechanics from pervious Bethesda games also made, you might be surprised to hear, by Bethesda employees.

      Fuck this AI sharticle
