There are very few games as big asThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Originally released in 2011,Skyrimhas spent the last ten yearsbeing widely regarded as one of the greatest video games of all time, with its limitless variety of gameplay options and its expansive world-building that rivals many popular fantasy franchises.
Skyrimtakes place 200 years after the events of the previousElder Scrollsgame,Oblivion, and sees the player take the role of Dovahkiin, the legendary Dragonborn, that is tasked with slaying the accent dragons across the continent of Skyrim. While the basic premise ofSkyrimrevolves around the mission to defeat legions of dragons, there are a plethora of side-quests that allow players to experience the world ofSkyrimin whichever way they see fit.

One aspect ofSkyrimthat has made the experience with the game quite memorable among players is the intense amount of support for mods. Much like many other games published by Bethesda such as theFalloutseries, the PC version ofSkyrimhas received various mods over the years that have both improved minor quality of life aspects of the game, likethe models of the different NPCs inSkyrim, to making drastic changes that turn the game into something entirely different. But then there are mods that are very subtle and don’t drastically change how the game is played, but add for an even more fun experience.
In a post on Reddit’s r/skyrim, user wtfamidoinglol42 showcased a small mod that they added toSkyrimthat changes the text on the various loading screens. Typically, the text in the loading screens is used to give players valuable information regarding gameplay and the world building in order to fully immerse players, and also gives great tips on how to play the game. However, this mod changes the game to add a slightly more sarcastic edge to the text.
This is a very funny mod that offers a bit of extra levity toSkyrim, which at times can have material that is very harrowing and bleak. This isn’t the first time that the game has had funny moments associated with the game, with the infamousarrow to the knee line becoming very prominent in meme culture, making it funnier when aSkyrimadventurer had the moment happen to them.
The modding community has helpedSkyrim’s longevity, and withThe Elder Scrolls 6rumored to be launching within the next few years or so, players hope that the long-awaited follow-up will be able to fill the shoes left by this title.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis now available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S
