Okay, okay, now that Starfield has been out for a bit, we’ve had a chance to properly formulate an opinion on it. While it’s generally regarded as a fantastic game, it still has its faults and room for improvement, and one modder definitely felt it needed better visuals.
As spotted by DSO Gaming, Nexus Mods user Halk Hogan PL recently released their “HD Reworked Project” for Starfield. This is essentially a texture pack that gives the Bethesda RPG some graphical oomph. Using side-by-side comparisons, and a video, you can see the difference in visuals this mod makes.
The creator says that their project “aims to improve the graphics by reworking game assets to better quality preserving original art style and good performance.” They also released a similar HD texture pack for The Witcher 3, so this is definitely not their first rodeo.
If there was one thing that was certain in the run-up to Starfield‘s release, it was that modders would be out in force. Indeed, there was already a slew of custom content from the word “go.” We’ve seen DLSS options be added to the game, an attempt to inject a little Star Wars, and more.
Bethesda’s long-awaited space-faring title stands well on its own, but the community shows that the work is never done. Even being one of the most successful video game studios in the world, Halk Hogan PL felt that Starfield could stand to be better in terms of graphics.
Just when you thought it was safe to assume you weren’t actually secretly a clone, the Orphan Black universe is coming back.
Starfield’s story is ultimately about hope for the future of humanity, but the game has so much scope and scale that there’s plenty of room to make your own adventure. For instance, some players might be pirates and smugglers, while others prefer to protect the Settled Systems. If you’re particularly spicy, there’s a new mod that allows you to replace all of your ships with Thomas the Tank Engine.
While some doubt the power of Creation Engine 2, it can at least be agreed that Starfield looks pretty. From the metropolitan streets of New Atlantis to seeing planets from low orbit, Bethesda has given us an attractive-looking game. But it could always stand to look a little better.
It isn’t even near New Year’s yet and Sony has already made good on their resolution to lose weight!

If there's one thing I love in this world, it's trinkets. Tchotchkes. Doodads and thingamajigs. Nothing enables this desire for collecting crud more than a good old-fashioned Bethesda game. Forks, mugs, spoons, bowls—you name it, it's probably in my inventory.
The Valheim Ashlands aren’t ready for a while yet, but they’re already giving me nightmares. When I think back to the early days of the co-op Viking survival game, the stories that stick in my mind are always terrifying tales of its most troublesome inhabitants. The moment a troll shows up to smash its way through your beautiful base. Losing everything to the horrifying Deathsquitos of the Plains. Now, our latest look at Ashlands creatures already has me worried.

Starfield can be a rather gorgeous game at times. Peer too closely, however, and you’ll start to notice the cracks in the facade. Many of the game’s textures and effects don’t hold up to close inspection, while a lot of the faces have a rather plastic look to them – something you’ll likely become very aware of, given how close in proximity Bethesda NPCs like to stand while you’re chatting to them. Fortunately, legendary Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 mod creator ‘Halk Hogan’ is here to instantly improve your Starfield graphics.
