By Nick Santangelo

Seven years have pbaded since the release of the movie Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and the community now wants to see an 82-year-old fan regularly play the game included in his next entry. 19659005] By Eurogamer, phantom-scribbler, a Reddit user, asks Bethesda to create a version of YouTuber, an 82-year-old Skyrim aficionado, and his grandmother, Shirley Curry, in The Elder Scrolls 6. The petition is inspired by a rather macabre commentary from Curry In response to last month's comments from Bethesda, vice president of public relations and marketing, which implied that Elder Scrolls 6 may still be in several years.

"Well, I guess that literally puts the nail in my coffin!" Curry wrote in a comment that has received thousands of likes. "When Skyrim 6 comes out, I'll be 88. I probably will not be able to play it, so I'm going to dream [quit]!"

Seeing this, the ghost scribbler remembered another Elder Scrolls superfan Erik "Immok the Slayer" West, who died of cancer a few months before the release of Skyrim. Bethesda responded by immortalizing him in the game under the name of Erik the Killer. Now, phantom-scribbler wants Shirley to receive similar treatment, and he is not alone: ​​more than 9,100 people voted for his position.

"It's not cool to meet an elderly Breton who wants to kick his bad and asks to come with you?" Ghostly dreamer. "Her story is as perfect as she is – she is a widow twice and has four children and nine grandchildren – she calls all the grandchildren of her subscribers." So, maybe she has a sword whose two husbands are dead using. She calls him "Widowmaker". She takes it and puts on an armor, she says: "Come on grandson / daughter!" and you are ready to attack anyone who gets in your way. "

This message led another, himself with more than 4,700 positive votes at the time of writing this article, calling for a community-made Curry mod for Skyrim." In this paper, phantom-scribbler claimed to have been in contact with Curry, who would have given permission to use his image and the audio recordings of YouTube.

Of course, the next step was a petition, which now has 3,500 signatures, but it does not seem to have elicited a response from Bethesda at the moment. [19659005] For the first time, Bethesda teased the Elder Scrolls 6 in the last E3. will debut on next-generation consoles, which appear to be on track for a launch in 2020.
