Skyrim's Grandma, Shirley Curry, appeared recently for a panel at PAX East, and she had a few choice words for The Elder Scrolls boss Todd Howard.
Per Rock Paper Shotgun, Curry held a panel at the PAX East event, attracting several fans who have followed her live streams of playing the game. One member of the audience of the Q&A asked her if there was anything she'd like to say to Howard if given a chance. Matching Howard's son's frustration about the Bethesda series, Curry replied, "How about 'Hi'? No, I'd ask him to give me a cool game, and I'd ask him to hurry up and finish The Elder Scrolls VI. I want to play it before I die."
Curry also talked about her love of horror, saying she hoped the next Elder Scrolls game would include "more creepy stuff" for her to enjoy. When she isn't playing Skyrim, she said, she loves to play horror games. However, she has difficulty finding good scary games on her own, so she expressed hope Elder Scrolls VI might combine her two loves and make it easy on her.
While most of the panel pertained specifically to Skyrim, which made Curry famous as a video game streamer back in 2015, she also answered questions about other games. One fan asked her if she might try playing Starfield when it comes out, to which she replied with uncertainty. "No. I don't know if I'll play Starfield or not. I'll have to wait until it comes out and see what it's like." She also described Fallout as "too dead" for her but did express interest in playing Baldur's Gate 3 when she returned home.
Curry fandom grew so profound that in 2019, a fan petition successfully got enough signatures to convince Bethesda to add her to The Elder Scrolls VI as an NPC. A year later, Curry announced her intention to take a break from streaming Skyrim due to her health, killing rumors that it was because of hecklers who harassed her gaming skills, saying, "there was NO 'onslaught' of patronizing comments!!!" She added, "But yes I am scaling back my videos due to health. Most people on my channel are very nice."
While her fans wait for the official addition of Curry to The Elder Scrolls VI, modders added her to Skyrim as a fun NPC encounter. For now, current updates suggest Curry and fans have a long wait yet for The Elder Scrolls VI.
