Bethesda have published a very brief meet the character type video for your robotic companion, Vasco, in Starfield.

There isn't much in this but would anyone take a sci-fi roleplaying game without a robotic companion seriously?

Posted By:

There was more than one interesting development during our absence but when writing our catchup one was so substantial that we felt it warranted its own space.
