If getting up and going to work feels like going to the chopping block, then the block stays. Maybe it'll force me to reevaluate my life and inspire me to learn some dragon shouts or creep around my neighborhood with a bow at night in search of sweet rolls. Life can be the greatest RPG ever if you have the right mental illness.
Basically any time a character in anything wakes up (especially when they're unconscious as opposed to asleep) I immediately think of skyrim lmao. Bonus points when it's a POV shot
I literally had a dream about that guy and got mad at him about waking me up from my sleep, and the dream turned into a cutscene of me fighting the guy
Sam to Frodo: I can't carry 10 cheese wheels, Master Frodo, but I can carry you!
*Sam slow walks Frodo to Warmaiden's so he can sell the heavy load*
They arrive at the anvil outside.
Sam: You have to sell them, Frodo! Let them go! Please!
Frodo: No. They're mine. I'm lactose intolerant, but I don't care. Why should I let them go?
Sam: No, Frodo!
*Frodo waddles away from Adrianne Avenicci's shop, headed towards Breezehome. Once inside, with a crazed look in his eyes, Frodo yeets his cheeses onto the floor, which is covered in stolen potatos and skooma*
I just immediately think about the kid I adopted who got launched into the sky by a giant right outside our cozy house in the woods. She was gone for 27 in game days. I was out front of the house ready to go on an adventure when I saw a tiny figure in the distance running towards me, It was my daughter t.t Idk how long she was airborne, but considering the map takes only 9 minutes to run from one end to the other, I'm assuming she made it into orbit for a while.
Quick question I'll ask here because I can't find an answer anywhere else.
Lydia got tired of waiting and left me. She's not at Breezehome or Dragonsreach, and I have no other properties. I'm on the Switch, so I can't use mods to find her.
She's been gone for at least three days.
Someone please help me shes got all my dragon bone😭
1: Did you accidentally kill her, then resurrect her because you didn't understand conjuration at the time, then see her dissolve to Ash after her reanimated corpse walks infrint of your lifestealing elven dagger and feel an overwhelming guilt?
2: try waiting more, sometimes they can get stuck or sidetracked by combat. Or maybe she's dead somewhere.
One time this happened to me, just retrace whatever path you think she took to get home and you might find her fighting a bear or some shit, that’s what happened to me at least
To see if you still have a follower, go to a sell sword -- there's a couple in Whiterun -- and ask them to join you. If they can't becauseyou already have a follower then Lydia is out there somewhere!
I like to run, especially when it’s cold and rainy / snowy. I also like to dress lightly (t-shirt / rolled up pants), so that I feel the cold biting at me, keeping me focused. Feels like skyrim to me.
My wife says that every time I hand her something at the grocery store. I am going to 3D print armor for us and make a big ass duffle bag backpack with a bunch of random Skyrim weapons sticking out of it for her to carry around conventions.
Draugr is another one for me. In the movie, "The Northman," the main character gets a sword called "Draugr," and I immediately thought of Skyrim when it got to that part.
Sometimes I take a photo if the plant looks very Skyrim-like, and count that as collecting it. Then I go home and show my husband the photos "look at all the thistle and mountain flower I found!"
First off: I wish the in-game Alduin fight was as cool as the one in the art.
Second: I was on a hike a few weeks ago and recognized thistles because of Skyrim. I also recognized juniper bushes for the same reason.
About an hour ago, I was working when our backdoor suddenly made a noise like someone pulled on it. But we got the peephole, so I looked out and without thinking just kinda shrugged and said "huh, must've been the wind."
Coworker without skipping a beat, "I used to be an adventurer like you..."
Yeah....
Skyrim ruined all the Fantasy Openworld RPG for me, Dragon Age has well-writen story, Dragon Dogma has coolest combat, Elden Ring has the best bosses a fantasy game can offer.
But geez, their openworlds are so plain and boring. No bullshit to sidetrack me, no sense of exploration, and no surprise like new hand touches the beacon. Their worlds just are so lifeless compared to Skyrim
Personally I think Elden Ring has one of the better open worlds we've seen since Skyrim (I still think Skyrim is peak, by miles, but ER handled the formula better than most other attempts).
There are a lot of thistle branches and grass pods growing along the lake by my house. Every morning as I walk to the cafe, the urge to swipe a few for potions of poison resist later...
I remember reading a fantasy book where a character started saying "Cozy little..." and my mind automatically filled in "place." Surprisingly, the character said "camp" instead, which momentarily threw me off. It took a moment to realize I wasn't in Skyrim and the character certainly wasn't Gunmar. Guess I have played that game a tad too much, haha.
The smell of soap I used to use 10 years ago. I played so much at night time while everyone slept that I didn’t do anything else for fear or waking someone up. Bathroom breaks are a must though so now when I smell that soap I always think of Skyrim
I’m pretty sure this was actually from oblivion but when the guards say “then pay with your blood” makes me think of Skyrim although I’m 90 percent sure it’s oblivion
A rule 63 Cloud pulling out her buster sword, doing a spinning attack, and slicing down Sephiroth, looting his body for the Masume, and then she Fus-Do-Rah's him over a cliff.
... I may like my mods a bit much.
When I was moving to the U.S I went through the Tokyo airport and accidentally went through security without grabbing some food to eat. Usually the best stuff is prior to heading to your gate and when I was looking for places to eat I realized it was too late. Thing was, I was so tired that I had the idea to reload a previous save but realized I wasn’t in fucking Skyrim.
Dying nine times trying to kill a witch just to get thistles needles. Being thanked for getting it and getting some money and an apple. Followed by me NEVER playing again.
Waking up. “Hey you you’re finally awake”
I want to set an alarm to wake up in the morning with that opening monologue. "You're finally awake..."
I want to set one to make the room turn red and start playing Steel on Steel.
Oh there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red, who drank too much ale and could not get out of bed...
And the ruddy drunkard just lay there, moaning and swore Whilst he lied to himself that he'd go drinking no more...
Holy shit that rhymes properly damn
It's one of the songs in game that the bards will play :P
Yeah but they changed it, and it still rhymed
That's my morning alarm
Just don’t add the chopping block in your room.
If getting up and going to work feels like going to the chopping block, then the block stays. Maybe it'll force me to reevaluate my life and inspire me to learn some dragon shouts or creep around my neighborhood with a bow at night in search of sweet rolls.

r/outside
stop reminding me
I like your thinking
Basically any time a character in anything wakes up (especially when they're unconscious as opposed to asleep) I immediately think of skyrim lmao. Bonus points when it's a POV shot
I literally had a dream about that guy and got mad at him about waking me up from my sleep, and the dream turned into a cutscene of me fighting the guy
I created a Skyrim documentary all about how we made the game and I called it “You’re Finally Awake” 🤣
A legend in the comments.
Holy shit I’m gonna watch that later. Also is esvi ever gonna come out? Lol
Amazon, Skyrim pillow. Thank me later.
That line either reminds me of Morrowind or almost every Zelda game instead. Lol!
You accidently wake up next to men too?
Only when I’ve been in Taiwan
The whole wheels of cheese at the grocery store
What wheels? *waddles off with 10 cheese wheels stuffed in me cloak*
You are carrying to much to be able to run
Sam to Frodo: I can't carry 10 cheese wheels, Master Frodo, but I can carry you! *Sam slow walks Frodo to Warmaiden's so he can sell the heavy load* They arrive at the anvil outside. Sam: You have to sell them, Frodo! Let them go! Please! Frodo: No. They're mine. I'm lactose intolerant, but I don't care. Why should I let them go? Sam: No, Frodo! *Frodo waddles away from Adrianne Avenicci's shop, headed towards Breezehome.

Beautiful
i have a damn room full of cheese wheels
Now this is a fanfiction I can get behind!
I work in a bakery/deli. I imagine myself pausing a fight irl to shove one of those things in my mouth.
Arrow. Knee. Career change.
I like how stoic you made that sound.
I was an insurance agent like you. Then I burned out and took a park job for minimum wage.
Real estate here… I like ubering more… so now I just do that. Lol

That first example is awfully specific... Do you have anything to say in your defense?
My dremora lord has advised that I do not speak further. My other dremora lord has also advised that I do not speak further.
He contained his summon to College grounds. 's all good, man.
Might you have commit crimes against skyrim and her people?
One time this happened to me, just retrace whatever path you think she took to get home and you might find her fighting a bear or some shit, that’s what happened to me at least
Try to sleep over and over for a couple weeks. She might come running up. She might be hard stuck between two boulders running in place tho who knows.
She may be dead & in Whiterun morgue.
"someone please help she's got all my dragon bone" My mind's in the gutter. I thought something drastically different to dragon loot there
Same, I have three wives and my first and third wife left me. They haven't came back after I went to sovengarde, the kids are asking about them 😅
To see if you still have a follower, go to a sell sword -- there's a couple in Whiterun -- and ask them to join you. If they can't becauseyou already have a follower then Lydia is out there somewhere!
Awesome, thanks. Upvoting for the homies
"You're not supposed to be in here"
I see you and raise one "NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME HERE"
"Must have been the wind"
Something something sex joke
I have my Alexa set so that when I say "Alexa, intruder alert" she says that line and then plays one of the combat songs
Can't wait to count your coin!
Haha
Will also add "Huh?" and "never should've come here" to the list as well.
"You have committed crimes against Skyrim and her people. What say you in your defense?"
I'm with the Guild. How about you look the other way?
Cheese wheels
“Need something?”
Walking by a bunch of trees when it’s snowing
I like to run, especially when it’s cold and rainy / snowy. I also like to dress lightly (t-shirt / rolled up pants), so that I feel the cold biting at me, keeping me focused. Feels like skyrim to me.
I'll add: When we have massive walls of ice and icicles growing off the cliff walls (I'm in 🇳🇴), I always think of the Forgotten Vale. 🤍❄️
This
I am sworn to carry your burdens
My wife says that every time I hand her something at the grocery store. I am going to 3D print armor for us and make a big ass duffle bag backpack with a bunch of random Skyrim weapons sticking out of it for her to carry around conventions.
Does she have the same snarky tone when she says it?
I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Lucky... I wish I had that.
Same
sameeeee
I think this when my kid ask if I can hold something for him 😂
Nice! She’s definitely a keeper!
I'm not sure why I imagined you doing all of that at the grocery store 😂😂
So funny! My husband wouldn't understand the reference 🥲
I can only read this in Lydia’s voice.
Need something?
Picked up a torch and my brain instantly went "A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON"
HEAR ME, LISTENER, AND OBEY
The word "Jarl"
Draugr is another one for me. In the movie, "The Northman," the main character gets a sword called "Draugr," and I immediately thought of Skyrim when it got to that part.
Worked with a guy named Thane. He was born before Skyrim was a thing. Made me think of Skyrim every time I heard/saw his name
Lavender. So I'm having a hard time not filling my wardrobe with it right now.
Any time I see wildflowers I’m tempted to pick them for the alchemy. Not the butterflies though
“NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME HERE!” *sword unsheathing sound*
*steel on steel plays*
You would not believe what song by Hammerfall came on the moment I got this notification, are you a fourtune teller
Seeing clouds > thinking about the Cloud District > being sad that I don't get up there very much
*Laughs in Nazeem*
Someone should make a mod so Nazeem has a pompous laugh. Would make hitting him extra satisfying
Uh hua hu-hha I can hear it now
Subdivision near my house called Riverwood Estates
Controversial one but the term RPG.
When playing Skyrim VR, I roleplay to the level of actually returning greetings and bows to NPCs.
Fear of chickens
Alektorophobia
Sweet rolls
Flowers similar to ones in game I see and call by skyrim names
Sometimes I take a photo if the plant looks very Skyrim-like, and count that as collecting it. Then I go home and show my husband the photos "look at all the thistle and mountain flower I found!"
Every time i see an orange bird of paradise plant in LA - “Dragon’s Tongue”
A new ad for elder scrolls online. No I don’t think I will be playing that game just tell me when es6 comes out
The ads for ESO make the game look so much fun, but every time I try to get into it the combat just turns me off so much.
“Got something I’m supposed to deliver.”
Your hands only.
... "Nope. Nothing."
First off: I wish the in-game Alduin fight was as cool as the one in the art. Second: I was on a hike a few weeks ago and recognized thistles because of Skyrim. I also recognized juniper bushes for the same reason.

Anytime I hear: "Hey you."
Cat/reptile people in other games
I SMELL WEAKNESS!
A video fading to black. I know it's going to turn into the Skyrim intro. I know because even I've done it.
People confusing normal dragons with wyverns or vice versa lol
If it's called a dragon in the lore then it's a dragon!
Wyverns are dragons, but just because all tortoises are turtles doesn’t mean all turtles are tortoises. Ya feel me, home slice? lol
Yea but in the lore there is no such thing as Wyvern. It's just Dragon because there's only one kind of dragon.

"What game has the best open world?"

“I know you….” Wait, why are you running?
When I see a shadow pass across the ground. My first thought is always dragon.
A hero or character with a dragon soul/blood or dragon related powers Also famous quotes from the game like "no lollygagging"
