Bethesda Softworks’ next big open-universe RPG Starfield is finally available, at least for those who shelled out for premium early access, and players have been diving deep into its space exploration and adventure mechanics. It’s also earned itself a good deal of praise for how cleanly it plays at launch, as Bethesda has a bit of a track record for bugs in its more long-standing RPGs, The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Still, almost no launch goes off without a hitch, and one particular error that’s blowing up involves a spoken line that clearly should have been cut early. As pointed out on X (formerly Twitter) by Japanese gaming information account Genki, Starfield players in Japan have been finding a lot of humor in this error, which is going viral. “Someone forgot to edit out the “hai, sumimasen” (yes, sorry) at the end of the voice actors performance which Japanese users are finding funny,” Genki explains.
