Starfield Players Discover Minor Actions Can Have Major Consequences

Starfield players are learning that even small actions like moving items can have huge consequences, like starting shootouts.

One player shared a clip where just picking up a random cleaning item led to security guards opening fire on them.

Another player triggered an undercover cop questline just by moving a soccer ball that a kid was playing with.

Actions that seem insignificant, like grabbing a cocktail shaker in a bar, can sometimes flag you for theft and turn companions against you.

Players are both amused and alarmed by the unexpected, intense reactions to minor acts like grabbing unimportant items in the expansive game.
