Everyone who's played Skyrim has their own unique stories to tell. That's the best thing about it - it touches everyone differently. To celebrate the game's tenth anniversary, Bethesda developers have shared some of their favourite tales that arose due to the dragon-slaying RPG.
The stories🔯 range from comical, to absurd, to frustrating, to sad-but-uplifting. You can read all of them o𝐆ver on , but here are some of the best ones.
Hoarding - we've all been there
"I told [my wife] she probably won't be needing all those baskets she's picking up, but she had a very good point: 'What if I run into the Basket King and he tells me to give him a basket and I don't have any, so he kills me?'," wrote Phil Speer, a quest designer. "Can't argue with that logic! You never know what you'll find in our games, so it's best to be prepared!"
Don't get cocky, kid
"Two shots into the exchange and I misstep, sliding off the mountain top and absolutely eating it all the way down to the bottom," says Jess Clark, an associate community manager. "I managed to survive with a sliver of health thanks to my new gear. It was around the time I audibly said, 'Whoa, that was close!' that the ancient dragon guarding the shrine I’d happen to land in front of toasted me to a crispy-well done."
If you think it sells a lot of copies now, wait till you read this
"When we came back on Monday morning (after Skyrim launched) on November 14, 2011, the whole floor of the Sales office was covered with faxes," said Frank Matze, managing director of ZeniMax Germa🥃ny. "We initially thought the fax machine had malfunctioned over the weekend but no: Countless retailers and outlets had sold out over the weekend and quickly needed loads of new Skyrim stock."
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back!
"When Skyrim launched I was an assistant manager working in retail and worked the midnight release of the game," said Cara Buoncristiano, a producer at Bethesda. "I returned to the store for my day shift, only to be let go! So with my employee discount still active, I bought my copy and headed home to at least have all the free time in the world to dive in - and boy, I did. The happy ending part🃏 is that this experience inspired me to pursue my dreams and now, ten years later, I work here!"
It's heartwarming to know that Skyrim has touched those at Bethesda as much as it has the rest of its players. If you want to read the rest of their stories, be sure to head over to the where more developers break down their most memorable Skyrim moments.
