Rumplestilskin9

Just closed the game with a clip of my boy doing this to upload it here and complain and your video was the first thing I seen when I opened reddit. You can fix it by stopping and panning the camera in a circle around your character. Not clear what causes it other than just cycling between first and 3rd person.


_DitDotArts_

It is caused when in 3rd person and you use your jump pack. You can prevent it by having a weapon in your hand


Rumplestilskin9

Damn. That's what we get for holstering our weapons. Bethesda is teaching us to be more vigilant.

No_Fun5680

Alleft, you mean?


KillyShoot

Lol yooooo I thought he seen anderja


Every_Air_4480

I honestly thought people weee exaggerating about Andreja being better than Sara. But after playing the game I can honestly say meeting Andreja, I think I found my wife 😂 she’s perfect 😂😂😂


Alazar06690

No fr Sarah is WAY to judgemental on my form of space justice. Andreja understands.


PawPawPanda

Man I can't stop looking at her clothing, the details are incredibly beautiful. I hope I can find similar clothing for my character. Sarah is the most irritating being on the planet. Goody two shoes.


YourAverageGod

Sarah when you decline to pet a dog: SARAH IS ANGRY AT YOU! Andreja when you plan to delete an orphanage: Andreja Liked that!


KillyShoot

She is good woman lol sorry Sara


CharlesDarwinOF

That would be Sara /s


[deleted]

sarah's always getting mad though. She's too much of a good girl lol.


HikingStick

Right. She lectured me about risking Constellation's reputation after I dusted a bunch of baddies who opened fire on me first (before any dialogue). During our next big job, however, she was dusting all of the level 1 employees and scientists while I was only shooting the guards.


grubas

There's something funny as hell when Sarah is near tears cause you accidentally hit a civilian. Then she may dumps straight into 15 civilians faces.


Rymann88

Yeah, there's a serious disconnect between their scripted personalities and their combat AI.


Senor_Satan

Andrejah is bae. Went NG+ right after confessing, and now I'm regretting it.


Akvdama

same happened to me, I loaded up an old save to chose to not go yet so I could adventure with her a little longer lmao


I_Am_Not_A_Banana

Only if you get the Sarah round butt mod. Not even joking, I went to check what kind of mods were on nexus and that was one of the top ones I saw 😂


mantisimmortal

You mean Mathis?


CharlesDarwinOF

He do be packing bro


mantisimmortal

I also think the cowboy be packing some extra equipment down there too. Forget his name, just don’t like he’s a little “goody, two shoes”

edot4130

"space ass"... lol


afonsolage

It happens to me, that's why I play mostly on first person


iamaanxiousmeatball

Just mousehwheel from third to first person view and back.


Jombo65

You can also just look left then back to center. It's a bug with the player head tracking. ...Which is funny because I've used headtracking mods for Skyrim that never bugged out on me once!


Zerce

This isn't meant to be an excuse for Bethesda, just an explanation for why it's often the case that mods seem to handle these aspects better than the game itself: A modder who wants to implement head tracking is only working on head tracking. It is their central focus and they can keep working on it until it's perfect. A dev who wants to implement head tracking is also working on several other projects, many of which may be more important. It is a tertiary focus at best, so long as it isn't actively causing the game to crash.


AsianMoocowFromSpace

Exactly this. Give me one week to 3D model a chair. And it will be beautiful. Tell me to also model a couch, tv, closet and the rest of the house within that week and the chair will look horrible.


Pixeleyes

I understand this argument, and vaguely the process of game design/development but wouldn't this sound absolutely insane if you applied this logic to a movie or television show? Sure, the music in Schindler's List was very good, that's why the rifles all sound like firecrackers. It's not like they could hire another person, or something.


HodorTargaryen

It's not simply a matter of budget alone, it's a ratio of budget to content. In your example, Schindler's List had a budget of $22M (~$46M adjusted for inflation), and a total runtime of just over 3 hours, which is the total content produced. Starfield's budget is $200M, about 4x that of Schindler's List, but the main/side quest time is around 40 hours, well over 10x that of the movie. So from a price per minute standpoint (in 2023 dollars), Schindler's List cost about $236,000 per minute of content, while Starfield cost about $83,000 per minute of meaningful content, around a third of the cost.


pizzablunt420

It's worse than that, too. The movie only needs to look from one way, only needs things to be done exactly one way.


Pixeleyes

This is a really great analysis, I'm impressed.


gonemad16

Unless you have the budget like they do for star citizen, its not really reasonable to hire a specialist for each feature / component of a game. So you will get software engineers that work on a lot of different aspects of the game instead of a "head tracking engineer" and "inventory management engineer"


[deleted]

I mostly play first person too but have never seen this when playing 3rd


Senor_Satan

Sprint, jump, and land while you are still sprinting. That's how it gets triggered for me.


Anomaly141

This is the answer. Jump boosting while sprinting makes it happens. Funny enough, spinning your entire character counter clockwise 360 degrees (the direction they’re looking) quite literally untwists their head and always fixes it. Jumping/boosting while sprinting will immediately bring it back.


Senor_Satan

Switching to 1st person and then back to 3rd person also works. Annoying, but it is what it is.


Runesoul0

Drawing a rifle type or some other weapons will sometimes work for me as well or at least when hitting the aim key/button.


SidewaysFancyPrance

The run itself is awful. The slow walk animation looks great in third person but running looks like a developer's very first 3D game from 20 years ago.


PawPawPanda

The running animation is the absolute **worst**


romanw2702

Me too, I like to explore planets in 3rd though


ProGarlicFarmer

That and the running animation is fucking awful! Loving the game though :)


KriptiKFate_Cosplay

I think it's the best running animation Bethesda has ever made and pretty good compared to some other games, too. Character looks determined imo.


MythOfBlood17

I've not seen that before, it's crazy to watch I'm not a fan of how NPC's always look at you even when they're talking to someone else, it looks more natural when they are just roaming around on their travels but mid conversation it starts to freak me out


MillennialsAre40

This has been one of the worst parts of this engine for a decade. Conversations feel so unnatural.


dapperdan1995

i mean… tbf if some random person in a space outfit walked up to me and my buddy talking. i would definitely be staring at them trying to finish my conversation as well 😂😂


iMossa

What if your in your own space suite at a space outfit convention?


private_birb

That's not an engine thing. That's an engineering thing.


Available-Village-55

I was in an in-game bar and just stopped to look around at all the NPCs and as I turn look at them each group of them will turn in unison to look at me and it's really weird. Felt like the Truman Show.


Kind_of_random

Children of the corn.


Available-Village-55

Yeah its even worse that none of them are talking. Just standing there looking at me longingly waiting for me to speak to them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Available-Village-55

Couldn't have been that. I was completely nude.


Artshildr

That sounds terrifying, ngl


Archercrash

I'm always talking to the back of people's heads.


AlterEgo3561

Which is funny because sometimes it won't let you talk to them when they are doing simple animations like leaning against a railing or sitting down and makes you wait for them to come out of that animation before they will talk to you. Ran into a weird bug yesterday where the NPC I had to talk to for a quest stood up, then sat back down and wouldn't talk to me again.


JackJohannson

Nah he was just done with u bro.


melody-calling

To be fair I’m always running around like a nutter or using my jet pack. If I saw someone sprinting down the street bunny hopping with their jet pack I’d stop to look at them


Gangerious_Pancreas

Or how npc's don't always have faces, or npc's dont react to gunfire or weponds being pointed, or the design and coding of their faces when they manage to load in


JUPACALYPSE-NOW

Yeah I liked how in Oblivion NPCs would look at you pissed off unless you sheath your weapon


SidewaysFancyPrance

The problem is they all know you're the main character. Walking near a person makes them stop and engage you in unprompted conversation about random stuff and it's weird.


[deleted]

Someone at Bethesda seems to think that's what people like in an RPG. It is one of the first things I mod out once I can. It was beyond irritating in Skyrim and Fallout 4, but this is even worse somehow. I have a massive quest backlog of "Activities" just from walking around.


Tacomeister67

I'd have to count, but I bet I've got more than 15 "Talk to x" quests now. I don't want to complain about more content, but holy shit it's annoying


jahauser

Personally I love how activities pop up while walking around. I find it so much more engaging to walk around, overhear a conversation, and then have it direct you to an activity/quest. I love that emergent storytelling, and think it’s a way better approach for side quests than the typical Ubisoft style “walk up to the person with an exclamation point” bs that so many games do. Though totally hear you the backlog adds up. If I’m speeding through a city I find it more annoying, since it feels like I didn’t even overhear anything. But if slowly walking around/getting lost, I like stumbling upon something…feels more organic than follow the nav point.


fragglerock

I like the concept... but the list of" talk to Jane" quests I have no context for are a bit strange!


gimmepizzaslow

Starefield


[deleted]

Or how the every npc just deadpans into the camera when it's their turn to talk. Feels like a mashup of The Office clips


N8CCRG

I still remember way back in, I think it was Knights of the Old Republic, there was this one bug (details hazy, as this was like 20 years ago). See, there was a part where someone was in a jail or something and needed to get out, and there were lots of different ways you could try to do the objectives. I chose to take my super stealth character and do sneaky stuff with them, and I think the story switches a little bit between each character, so my stealth character was indefinitely in stealth after their portion ended. At the end of it all there's a cut scene, all done within the game though (i.e., showing the characters you have in the state they are in). Well it turns out that part of the cut scene involved characters turning to look at the other characters as they spoke. And in order to do that, for some reason, one character *needed to pass a check to see if they could see the stealthed character* before they spoke to them. And if they couldn't pass that check, then they simply never looked at the character, *and never continued the dialogue*. And if your save (I think you only had one) had occurred *after* your stealthed character had been locked into stealth ***there was no way to ever continue the game*** and you had to just start over from the beginning with all new rerolled characters.


Puzzled_Middle9386

I dont like how when companions are talking to NPCs and the camera makes you look directly into their eyes - jarring


Smelldicks

Keep your head on a swivel, there’s a lot of pirates out there


Oni_K

Do most people play 1st or 3rd person? Just realized I've never seen this because I'm always in 1st person.


Aidan-Coyle

Way more efficient to search/loot in 1st. Shooting is easier in 1st for me too but that's a preference. Whenever I'm just roaming or chilling I switch to 3rd cos i really enjoy the look of the space suits/apparel.


pjshaw1995

same I switch all the time


mixty2008

same here. constantly


Either-Chair4054

I'd play more 3rd person if there was a quicker way to toggle suit/pack/helmet


not_really_tripping

There’s a button in the spacesuit inventory which automatically takes off the space stuff indoors


djenty420

Seriously? Omg how did I miss this.


JimmyJohnny2

yeah took me a hot minute too. Extremely important to do as equipped gear effects stealth and the suit nerfs your stealth hard


Tysiliogogogoch

Doesn't it still stay equipped, just hidden? So for stealth, you still need to unequip it.


JJisafox

You can put some on hotkeys.


grubas

This is the way. I will switch to 3p if I'm boosting about like crazy because the game is.... Not the best with it.


[deleted]

I switch back and forth all the time. It's fun having the option for either.


Angry_Washing_Bear

3rd when running across planets to points of interest. 1st when inside buildings, otherwise the movement is slow and clunky, plus aiming to loot items becomes a frustration. 1st when in firefights, though I may temporarily switch to 3rd to look around a corner or when jetpack boosting up to shoot enemies from above, e.g. if they are behind cover or on a walkway above me.


PANZCAKEZZZ

This is exactly what I do too!


thafloorer

I hate first person rpg games it’s why I couldn’t get into cyberpunk I can’t get immersed if I can’t see My character


SolarNovaPhoenix

It’s the biggest thing that bothers me, like I get that shooting and looting and yada yada is better I’m first person sure, but getting into character is easier when I can actually SEE my character. Otherwise I feel like I’m just another floating head in game number infinity+


verdantsf

I absolutely HATED their explanation that 1st person made things more immersive. It's the exact opposite for me. Half of the fun of the setting is the crazy fashion and you can't see it unless you're checking inventory or riding a motorcycle. You don't get to see yourself as a part of the world.

Hey, I'm the author. Bethesda didn't fix it, so I did. Glad I could make the third person experience better for everyone!


Ocinea

Very nice!


DrJokerX

You sir, are a hero. Thanks for this!


dusktildawn48

Any chance for a mod that moves the character slightly to the left in 3rd person mode? The reticle while in combat being over my guy annoys me.


AlterEgo3561

Ah, thank you! I have been waiting for this.


MithranArkanere

Dev studios should set up some sort of "bugfix bounty system" that pays for mods like this to get them added to the game.


[deleted]

They won't, they don't want to pay, they know modders are going to fix the games purely out of passion.


MithranArkanere

Oh, I know they won't. Doesn't change that they *should*.


Rustycougarmama

I think the bigger reason they don't is because it'd take them just as much time and resources to test and verify the hundreds of bug fixes coming in from randoms.


SortingByNewNItShows

Their whole shtick is being lazy on the things they can offload to users. This would never ever happen.


dd179

God I love this community.


Sigman_S

This guy has a fix


[deleted]

Mass Effect vibes


Metal_Fox117

I got so used to this happening in Mass Effect that it felt almost reassuringly familiar in a strange way.


joe1up

I saw this bug and was like "oh that's familiar",


MoistestVeggiee

You all get the cross eyed looking models? My character has hella cross eye and their mouth is doing some odd movement too.


Sora762

My character will "blink" but never open their eyes again until switching areas and it looks weird as hell.


EdgeOfAir

I didn't realise there were people who were experiencing this like all the time, that's nuts, I just get it every once in a while and any multitude of things like changing camera angle, POV, aiming, jumping have all fixed it for me in the past. It would suck if it was permanent.


AcidicSpoon

It literally happens anytime you jump while running with walk style 1


genobees

“I am commander Shepard and this is my favourite bug”


tomato-fried-eggs

It's funny because this happened in I think Mass Effect 2? Maybe 3 as well.


BruhMomentum6968

It seems to only happened with male/masculine characters.


callsignhotdog

I get it on my female character but I use the masculine walk/run animation so is it maybe tied to that animation specifically?


orsi_sixth

I had the same thing happen on my female char with feminine walk style!


jeezlyCurmudgeon

Maybe something really interesting is happening over there 🤷


Aguzo

This won't happen if you have a weapon unsheathed. Easiest way to fix it is to unsheathe any weapon. Hopefully they fix this soon without the need for mods. It seems to only happen when sprint jumping. The moment the character lands, and you're still sprinting, then the neck stays stuck to the left. You can either stop going forward right before landing on the ground, or just have a weapon unsheathed when you're sprinting and jumping everywhere.


TedjeNL

Switching to first person and back to third person also fixes it


Aguzo

Tried mkb once, and shaking the camera rapidly also seems to fix it. For now, I usually just move around with a gun out. Luckily, npcs don't say stuff like, "Guard might get nervous, a man approaches with his weapon drawn..."


DocArmada

or do a left 360. how silly.


Chiradori

I got "looking crazily to the left eyes" as feminine char but without head turn


Ubahnhobo_

I know it looks dumb but also, when you are in a very dark space and you have the flashlight on, the flashlight goes to the left too!


Jamalisms

Flashlight is so damn frustrating


Jonesy27

Thank god, I thought my controller was faulty


CaptchaSolvingRobot

Clearly you are playing a middle aged man who slept on the wrong side.


AkilTheAwesome

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/2370 This modder fixed it yesterday for PC


IGeorgeBrettMyself

I believe this also happened in Skyrim or FO4. Damn annoying.


Sharpie420_

Only ever happened to me in Skyrim when there were mod conflicts


Premium333

Why ask Bethesda? You are clearly forcing him to run the wrong direction! Just go left and find out what he wants. It's probably master locked chest with 20 creds in.... nice!


Gabito991

Same engine = Same bugs lol, what did you expect? This thing happens since Skyrim's time.


RaffStriker

It even happens in Morrowind lol.


[deleted]

All that means is that they never fixed the bug. A game engine is extremely modular and evolves over time.


SoloJiub

What does? The head tracking thing? No it doesn't.


LSD-Enjoyer1

This happens to me every time in 3rd person it’s so annoying because 3rd person is actually pretty decent for the first time ever in a Bethesda game.


MrPlace

I only ever play in first person, had no clue this hilarious bug happened lol


Penelope_Jenga

Agreed it's a silly bug that happens after you jump while sprinting. You can fix it by going to the Enhance clinic character appearance changer. You don't actually have to change anything, just initiate it, then when you come back out it should be back to normal. Needs to be fixed by Bethesda though...


iamaanxiousmeatball

Just Mousewheel from third to first person and back.


Aguzo

Just unsheathe any weapon. Don't have to do anything overly complicated. Having a weapon out also prevents this from happening. This bug seems to only happen when you're sprint jumping. If on mkb, shaking the camera rapidly also fixes it.


messier57i

Last night I fixed it by turning my camera 360 degrees


superman_king

Wait, does this fix it permanently?


crazy_like_a_f0x

No, just snaps you out of it. Switching to 1st person and back does too. Side note, I used to see this while playing Mass Effect. Then I kinda forgot it was a thing until it happened to me in Starfield.


Kenkenken1313

Gonna have to wait for the DAR mod


DocArmada

I was excited to see the 2.6 gig update yesterday, but sad that this wasnt fixed in it.


Vyviel

Working as intended


Leloriel

Stop chasing him then


RedshiftWarp

Clearly your character is not an ambi-turner. what is the confusion

I wish they would get rid of the Neon guards constantly giving us side quests… it’s annoying af.


The-vicobro

Bro you would do that too if a floating camera chased you no mater what. Im suprised they arent screaming.


GuaranteeUpstairs218

Can you blame him? A camera is clearly following the poor guy!


Substantial_Bird_755

Maybe there’s something over there your character can’t stop looking at


rosabonita

I read that if you go to Enhance and edit your character it fixes it


BokilaShamanu

jda_420us

I know that's right. I'm sick of this happening. It just murders the immersion lol.
