A player of the space RPG game Starfield has recently discovered yet another Easter egg from The Elder Scrolls series, over a month after the game’s release. This particular Easter egg is so obvious that it becomes difficult to spot.
In Skyrim, fans may recall Astrid from The Dark Brotherhood questline. At the beginning of the questline, Astrid positions herself on top of a shelf in a corner, striking a pose that exudes coolness. However, what makes it amusing is the fact that she is actually waiting for the player and three NPCs to wake up, as she has orchestrated their kidnapping.
This iconic scene and pose have been widely meme’d, and it seems that Bethesda, the game’s developer, took notice. In Starfield, players can find Sarah Morgan, a character who mimics Astrid’s pose by sitting on top of a generator in a corner. It’s unclear if Sarah Morgan is a Skyrim fan or if Bethesda simply wanted to pay homage to the community’s reaction to Astrid’s pose.
Bethesda has a history of including Easter eggs referencing their other famous worlds, such as the Adoring Fan from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and shower-heads from Fallout. Exploring the Starfield galaxy might lead players to discover even more hidden references.
What adds to the humor of Sarah Morgan mimicking Astrid’s pose is the fact that Sarah is portrayed as uncool and nerdy. As the leader of the Constellation, she has endearing and charming qualities but often comes across as a bit of a nerd. This juxtaposition between her pose and personality adds an extra layer of amusement.
There doesn’t appear to be a specific trigger to make Sarah Morgan do the Astrid pose in Starfield. It seems to happen randomly, so players will need to keep their eyes open and explore their ship regularly to catch her in the act.
Overall, Starfield continues the tradition of including Easter eggs that reference Bethesda’s other beloved game worlds. Players can enjoy the thrill of discovering these hidden gems as they explore the vastness of the Starfield universe.
