Skyrim Grandma shoots down rumors of Starfield NPC appearance: ‘I’m not in the game’
Shirley Curry, better known to gamers as Skyrim Grandma, said in a new video that despite the apparent Easter egg in the recent Starfield Direct showcase, she's not going to appear in Starfield as an NPC. She's also not going to play Starfield, because she's «too angry» that she (and the rest of us) are still waiting for Elder Scrolls 6.
Curry rose to fame in 2015 when a Skyrim «let's play» video she posted to YouTube attracted thousands of responses—and brought her thousands of new followers. She's continued to post videos to her YouTube channel since then, growing in popularity to the point that in 2021 Bethesda announced that she will be included as an NPC in The Elder Scrolls 6. She has also, understandably, expressed some impatience with Bethesda on that front: She was 79 when she first came to fame, which puts her at or around 87 now.
She also said in mid-2022 that she wasn't sure if she would play Starfield, the game preceding TES6, explaining that she would «have to wait until it comes out and see what it's like.» But it seems that she's made up her mind a little earlier than that, because in response to comments on a new video, she emphatically stated that she will not be playing it.
Curry shared her frustration with the long wait for a new Elder Scrolls game in her latest video, which is driven in part by the fact that after years of dedicated play, she's finally run out of Steam with Skyrim.
«One of my problems, kids, is that I got so upset with Bethesda for not making Elder Scrolls 6 and getting it out here for us to play, that I was angry, and I was getting—I played so many different stories that I've made up in Skyrim over the years that I was finally starting to get a little bit bored with it,» she said.
