Reddit user tidyckilla took to theStarfieldsubreddit to share their experience of an apartment complex fire and howStarfieldplayed a role in saving their family’s life. Tidyckilla notes that they’ve been excited for the game since hints of its existence began to circulate years ago, so they were happy to place an order for theStarfieldPremium Editionso they could play it a few days early. On August 31, they booted up the game and decided to play for as long as they could. This decision was the right one, as it meant they were wide awake when an explosion suddenly went off downstairs at 2am.
Tidyckilla checked the hallway for any signs of a commotion and discovered flames in the stairwell. They acted quickly, getting their wife and cat out of the apartment and to safety. While tidyckilla noted that at least one of them experienced some minor burns, they survived to tell the tale. While someStarfieldfansin the comments questioned how someone could sleep through an explosion, tidyckilla noted that their wife was indeed still asleep when they came to get them out. While they did have a smoke detector, it didn’t go off until they were making their escape. If any more time had passed, it’s possible that the fire or smoke inhalation may have caused severe harm or even killed a member of their household.
Many in the comments were pleased to hear that tidyckilla’s family survived unscathed. Thankfully, their apartment is intact, albeit with extreme smoke damage. Apparently their gaming system survived as well, as they continued playingStarfieldin the hotel they relocated to. Tidyckilla was grateful to bothStarfieldand Todd Howardfor helping them to get through this harrowing incident. While Bethesda games are memorable and enjoyable for millions of people, few will come away from playingStarfieldwith a memory quite like this one.
Starfieldis available now for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
