Over the years,The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimhas influenced many in the gaming community. With many unique and memorable gameplay and world-building facets that makeSkyrimwhat it is in the eyes of its fans, this allows for several creative fan works to be shared online. The most recent of which being a group of students that have replicated the iconic intonations ofSkyrimNPCs within a unique setting.
A cacophony ofmemorable NPCs populateSkyrimwith each one featuring their own unique storyline and purpose for existing within the world of the game. However, a commonality that manyElder ScrollsNPCs share is the monotonous speech patterns heard throughout each game. Often times, NPCs will repeat the same lines over and over again in the same tonal register, resulting in various memes and parody videos surfacing online. One such parody video envisions what a college campus would be like if all the students wereSkyrimNPCs.

A TikTok user named slammyandtheratpack created a video that showed a bunch of college students speaking in the same cadence and line delivery of non-specificSkyrimNPCs. In lieu of the typical discussion ofImperials and Stormcloaks, the civilians are talking about long lines at the cafeteria and difficult assignments from professors. It’s rather humorous to imagine a bunch of college students having the same behavior asSkyrimNPCs. The video can be viewedhere.
It’s amazing to see the level of accuracy these students put in their respective performances and how accurate it is to the behavior of actualSkyrimNPCs. In a sense, NPCs tend to be where mostElder Scrollsmemes tend to stem from. For instance, one of the most famousSkyrimmemes of all time, “arrow in the knee”, was made famous preciesely because of how memorable the delivery is.
The fact that even the most minute details ofSkyrimtend to influence fans of the game in unexpected ways. Not to mention the sheer longevity that theElder Scrollsseries possesses. Despite releasing over fifteen years ago, online users are still making memes aboutThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, many of which involve the NPCs. Thus, for fans of the series, there’s a lot of memorable and humorous qualities about these games to pull from, which result in content such as this.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds forThe Elder Scrolls. WhileThe Elder Scrolls 6was announced during E3 2018, there has been next to nothing in terms of official news regarding the game’s development. With any luck, new information regarding the game will be revealed in the coming months.
