Starfield fans complain an important omission \u201ccompletely ruins immersion\u201d BethesdaStarfield is a certified hit whether you love it or hate it but one thing has even people who love the game conceding some points. The lack of furry friends has taken some people out of the game and not for the reason you\u2019d think. Starfield is keeping the staff at Dexerto pretty busy and while we\u2019re enjoying our time with it, it\u2019s not without its problems. Whether it\u2019s the performance issues on PC or the universally disturbing smiles of its NPCs, the immersion can be a little inconsistent. While these problems are quite pronounced, it\u2019s the well-documented lack of dogs in Starfield that has fans scratching their heads (and cats but whatever). Not just because everyone wants to pat one either. Reddit user u\/Hbimajorv calls the absence of these pets \u201cHands down the most unrealistic thing about Starfield.\u201d Sounds like a bit of a weird hang-up but after hearing the primary argument we\u2019ve got to admit, they\u2019re kind of onto something. Starfield explains away its lack of dogs via an item description for a chocolate bar that claims certain breeds of canine are extinct. Fans have taken this and extrapolated that the lack of any cat and\/or dog in the game means they all went extinct. Herein lies the crux of u\/Hbimajorv\u2019s claim that it\u2019s the most unrealistic part of Starfield. Why? Because we would have saved them. Right? \u201cHumans may absolutely loathe each other but the lengths that they will go for their pets, hell even strays, is unparalleled,\u201d u\/Hbimajorv explained. Fans in the comments firmly agreed. \u201cWhen I learned that pets were extinct in the Starfield universe it completely ruined the immersion for me,\u201d one user said. \u201cYou\u2019re 100% right about this,\u201d replied another. We\u2019d certainly give all the credits in the galaxy to save dogs from extinction and given the history of canines in space, the omission feels a little odd. Cats are a different story though. Early marketing material featuring cats had some fans speculating that our feline friends may have been cut content. They don\u2019t have a chocolate bar dedicated to them after all.
