You chose Starfield’s Hero Worshipped trait and you’re probably here because you regret that decision.

If you want to regain some of your mental sanity while playing Starfield, you can get rid of the Adoring Fan.

There are three ways in which you can send the Adoring Fan packing and the method you choose depends on how brutal you want to be.

How to get rid of the Adoring Fan in Starfield

Persuasion:

If you approach the Adoring Fan and ask to discuss his fandom, you’ll have the option to tell him to “kindly get lost.” You can then say that you wish for him to stop being a fan to initiate the persuasion dialogue. From the list of options you’re presented with, you can convince the Adoring Fan that you’re not the hero they think you are.

Throughout the duration of the dialogue, you’ll need to rack up 6 Persuasion Points. If you are successful, the Adoring Fan will walk away, saying “never meet your heroes!”

Remove the Adoring Fan from your crew:

Once again, ask the adoring fan to discuss his fandom and tell him to “kindly get lost.” This time, choose “(Remove Crew status permanently,)” allowing him to stay a fan but banishing him from your crew.

From this point onwards, the Adoring Fan will disappear from your sight and worship the ground you walk on from afar.

Killing the Adoring Fan:

If murder is on your mind, you’ll have to remove the Adoring Fan’s essential NPC status. Talk to the Adoring Fan and ask to discuss his fandom. Click on “(Attack) It’s time for you to go. Permanently.” This will present you with three further attacks for you to decide on.

The option you go with depends on what happens next, but he’ll never fight back. You can then pull out your weapon and begin shooting the Adoring Fan. It’ll take a few bullets to kill him, but once he’s dead, he’ll be out of your hair for good.
