Summary
Starfieldis filled with over a thousand planets anda host of characters to occupy them. There is no shortage of crew members to join the player on their Starborn journey, but one of the most contentious companions is the Adoring Fan. This character pays homage to a similar character who appeared at the completion of the Arena questline inElder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Like his namesake,he can also become an annoying thorn in the player’s side.
While the Adoring Fan’s praise can be endearing at first, the undying affection can quickly become suffocating. He can even be anoutright liability. Luckily, Bethesda was well aware of this potential issue, andStarfieldprovidedoptions for getting rid of the yellow-haired mosquito. The player canbanish him to an outpost, dismiss him from the crew, or end his life entirely.

Getting Rid Of The Adoring Fan At The Right Time Reveals A Hidden Mechanic
His Name Changes, And The Hero Worshipped Trait May Be Lost
The Adoring Fan wants nothing more than to follow the Starborn’s every footstep. This can come into direct conflict with the player’s desire for peace and quiet, as few things can interrupt the isolating feeling of being the first person to step foot on a planet, like hearing undying praise. With the right dialogue options, the Adoring Fan can be killed after he joins the crew,but an extra surprise awaits Starborn, who never lets him join in the first place.
He reports that he saw the Starborn’s actions on Vectera, and wants to join the crew.
If the player chooses the Hero Worshipped trait during character creation, they will be approached by the Adoring Fan soon after landing at New Atlantis. He reports that he saw the Starborn’s actions on Vectera, and wants to join the crew. This request can be approved, but it can also be violently declined. At this point, the Adoring Fan can be killed, and if he is,looking at his body will reveal that his name has changed to Former Fan. This name change does not occur if the Adoring Fan is killed after joining the crew.
The Adoring Fan Can Join On A New Game Or A New Starborn Run
He Can Be Obnoxious But Excels In One Particular Perk
The Hero Worshipped trait can only be acquired during character creation. Luckily, even though this was not an option atStarfield’slaunch,starting a new run as a Starborn allows the player to select new traits. That means you do not need to start from scratch to add the Adoring Fan to your roster — or prevent him from existing altogether.
One of the biggest is that he has the highest carry weight of any companion due to his Weight Lifting perk.
While he can be annoying, the Adoring Fan does have some benefits. One of the biggest is that he has the highest carry weight of any companion due to his Weight Lifting perk, so players who only keep companions around for extra loot can rejoice. He is also completely onboard with every player action, soStarborn pirates will not have to see the “companion disliked that” messageevery time they take out a trader ship inStarfield.
