Skyrim Player Reaches Absurd Level Without Leaving Starting Area
A dedicated Skyrim player online manages to reach an absurd level without leaving the starting area, potentially making the game more difficult later.
Alabama-based cosplayer and illustrator Jeanette Blasius, also known as Gerbilminion, revealed in a post on the Skyrim subreddit that they had printed Ralof’s infamous “Hey you. You’re finally awake” line on a baby’s onesie. “Made my new character the perfect onesie,” Blasius, who welcomed a son in June, wrote. Community members praised the custom jumpsuit, with one even describing it as being the best thing that they have seen in a while. Blasius has cosplayed as Flame Mother Lee Moldaver from Amazon’s critically acclaimed Fallout TV show and a version of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom‘s Link, specifically the one wearing the Ember Set.
Gamer Pays Tribute to Skyrim’s Iconic Opening Dialogue Sequence
The artist’s custom onesie featured a drawing of Ralof, who, aside from delivering the game’s now-iconic opening dialogue, is a key figure in Skyrim‘s civil war questline. This character essentially acts as a middle man between the player and the Stormcloaks, a faction that aims to free the game’s eponymous setting from the ruling Empire.
Ralof’s Imperial counterpart is Hadvar, regarded by many as being among the most noble champions of good and order in the entire Elder Scrolls franchise. While not full-fledged companions, both Hadvar and Ralof will fight alongside the Dragonborn depending on what side they choose in the civil war.
Bethesda is currently working on a sequel to The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. The sixth numbered installment in the series will only be available on PC and Xbox systems, according to leaked documents from the Federal Trade Commission’s dropped lawsuit against Microsoft over the tech giant’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. This upcoming title, which could launch as early as 2026 according to court documents, will have a difficult time meeting fans’ expectations once it does reach the market because it will be compared with its predecessors, former Bethesda Senior Game Designer Bruce Nesmith said.
