Summary
Starfieldfeatures a shop that is a clear nod to a store players could visit inThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. Prior to its launch,Starfieldwas often described asSkyrimin space. However, the game has since drawn more comparisons toOblivion, with many feeling that Bethesda’s massive open world sci-fi RPG has more in common with that game instead ofThe Elder Scrolls 5.
Head of Xbox Phil Spencer even saidStarfieldis more likeOblivionthanSkyrim. Considering this, it’s only fitting thatStarfieldhas some Easter eggs and references that point back to the critically-acclaimed 2006 game.Starfieldplayers have a gargantuan world to explore, and it’s possible that there are still manyOblivionEaster eggs left to uncover, but one of the more obvious ones can be found in Hopetown, a city located on the planet Polvo in the Valo system.

Starfieldplayer Wubb333 was exploring Hopetown when they discovered a store called The Best Defense. As some hardcoreElder Scrollsfans will recall, a store by that exact name exists inThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. To find the store inOblivion, players need to visit theImperial City’s Market District.
Starfieldplayers that want to visit the new version of the store don’t need to be in a rush. Hopetown is the location of multipleStarfieldquests, and so players will most likely end up there eventually. Whenever they do wind up in Hopetown,Starfieldplayers can pay The Best Defense a visit. In the meantime,Starfieldplayers are encouraged to keep an eye out for any other Easter eggs that may be hiding in the game’s massive world, whether they be more references toOblivion, other Bethesda games, or just pop culture generally.
Of course, some of these other Easter eggs have already been found inStarfield.Starfieldplayers have foundLord of the RingsEaster eggs, as well as references to real-life astronauts. Considering the sheer size ofStarfield, chances are it will take months, if not years, for fans to find all its secrets, and so it will definitely be interesting to see what the community uncovers now that the game has exited early access and is readily available through Xbox Game Pass. Future DLC could add even more Easter eggs to the mix as well, soStarfieldfans should definitely keep that in mind.
Starfieldis out now for PC and Xbox Series X.
