Here’s a feel-good story that (thankfully) isn’t an April Fool’s: remember back in November last year when we reported on the petition to get Skyrim-playing grandmother Shirley Curry into The Elder Scrolls 6? If you signed it – congratulations, your signature (along with nearly 50,000 others) made a difference.
During Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls 25th anniversary livestream, Todd Howard confirmed Bethesda “did hear” the petition for the Skyrim grandma, and that “she will be immortalised in the game”. The video also shows Curry visiting Bethesda’s studios, along with her being 3D scanned ready for the NPC modelling process (jump to 08:40).
“This means a lot to me, as I would be extremely happy to know someone else was playing with my character in a future Elder Scrolls game,” Curry says in the clip.
