The Starfield adoring fan is an NPC that appears if you select the Hero-Worshipped trait for your avatar during character creation. This fan doesn’t appear at the start of the game, but it doesn’t take too long after you explore the stars a bit before he makes his presence known. The description of this “adoring fan” says that the person is “annoying” but will occasionally give you gifts. But it doesn’t reveal the fan’s location, so you may be wondering when he shows up. Here’s where you can find the adoring fan in Starfield.
Where to find Starfield adoring fan location
The adoring fan from the Hero-Worshipped trait can be found in the plaza of the New Atlantic spaceport, particularly near the TerraBrew coffee bar.
We encountered the adoring fan at around the 7-hour mark, with the NPC appearing within TerraBrew itself seemingly as a random spawn. The fan will notice your presence and then immediately rush toward you in shock that you have met serendipitously. (Warning: We were engaged in another conversation this happened and the fan interrupted it, causing the game to crash.)
It’s uncertain whether or not the adoring fan can be female, and it’s unclear what needs to be triggered for the fan to appear. You likely need to reach the city of New Atlantis in the first place and meet Constellation at the Lodge before the fan will spawn. The NPC says that he was inspired to be a fan of yours after listening a news broadcast of your exploits at the beginning of the game.
That said, you don’t really need to worry about the adoring fan following you if you don’t want him around. You can ignore him by unassigning him in your crew settings. From there, he essentially becomes a free crew member that has 1 rank in Scavenging, 1 rank in Concealment, and 2 ranks in Weight-Lifting. He’s not the best companion, nor are the gifts he gives you all that different from other companions that you can gather on your team.
