In a recent interview, Todd Howard stated that there will not be a fishing mode available when Starfield first launches. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, but the fact that it is noteworthy is due to how prevalent fishing has become in video games in recent years. A wide variety of video games, including Red Dead Redemption 2, Diablo Immortal, Far Cry 5, and a lot of others, include fishing as a playable activity. It may be more prevalent in open-world games and farming simulations than in other types of games, but there’s no denying the phenomenon’s widespread appeal.

In point of fact,

Skyrim Anniversary Edition’s Creation Club feature adds fishing to the open-world fantasy game. Despite the fact that the main game does not enable the activity. It enables players to manufacture fishing poles. Which they can then utilise in certain areas across Skyrim at a variety of different fishing spots. It is possible, although not very likely, that some Starfield fans had hoped to find it in the game when it first came out; however, this was not the case.’

A recent episode of Kinda Funny Xcast featured a conversation with Bethesda’s Todd Howard regarding Starfield. During the course of the conversation, Gary Whitta sent along a question from Windows Central’s Jez Corden, who inquired as to whether or not the upcoming game will include a fishing mechanism. It was verified by Howard that players will not be able to take a fishing rod into the game. Catch space fish, and then sell or cook them. However, it did sound like players will be able to kill and collect fish in the game. They just are unable to go fishing, which is a significant even though somewhat insignificant distinction. Players are able to kill fish with their abilities and weapons and collect their carcasses in the standard game version of Skyrim. As well as in the recently released Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom video game. It seems as though that, too, will be feasible in Starfield; however, there will not be a fishing rod in the game. At the 14:40 mark, you’ll find the beginning of the section that’s relevant.

Whitta

Whitta admits that there are two significant factors that, in theory. This smight have been incorporating into Starfield to make fishing relevant to the story. On the surface, the question may sound like a joke. The first and most obvious reason is the widespread use of the feature in open-world video games. Second, Whitta discusses how the hunt for life in the universe typically begins with the species that are confining to the water or seas. It is not too much of a leap to say that the major plot of Starfield is about uncovering “what’s out there.” This is with Constellation by using newly discovered extraterrestrial artefacts.

But at the same time, it’s hardly a huge turning point in the game either. Since there are so many planets to discover, the overall scale of the Bethesda game is enormous, and so on. It’s unlikely that anyone will be overly disappointing that they can’t go fishing in Starfield. Not to mention the fact that a mod for it is probably going to be released sooner rather than later.

Starfield will be available for purchase on PC and Xbox Series X/S on September 6.
