This is evident from MeadowBeam, who shared the graduation cap that they customized for their high school graduation ceremony. The Skyrim fan decorated the cap with a quotation from the game, written in both Dovahzul alphabet and the Latin alphabet. It references what the Greybeard Arngeir says to the Dragonborn in the game, instructing the player to breathe and focus. Another line is a quote from when the Dragonborn learns their Fus Ro Dah shout, “You will push the world harder than it pushes back.” The Skyrim symbol is also lovingly recreated, completing the hat’s Elder Scrolls adornments.
Skyrim Plays Big Role in Player’s Life
MeadowBeam notes in their post that their love for Skyrim also influenced their college entrance essay. Apparently, they wrote the essay about the impact Skyrim had on them, and they are now in their third year of college, so it seems the essay was well-received by their college’s administrators. One fellow Skyrim player expressed their appreciation for the display and said that they could imagine their college graduation cap being even better. While the OP still has some time left before they graduate, perhaps they’ll share an image of it when the time comes.
Skyrim has a surprisingly universal appeal, drawing in both the very young and the elderly alike. Until recently, the “Skyrim grandma” Shirley Curry was regularly streaming Skyrim and drew so much attention from the community that she’s being immortalized in the next Elder Scrolls game. Many players are more than eager to see what Bethesda produces for The Elder Scrolls next, but until then, it seems Skyrim will continue to maintain the popularity it has had since it first launched all those years ago.
