Shirley Curry, better known as Skyrim Grandma, has made a name for herself on YouTube. The 85-year-old YouTuber regularly uploads videos of herself playing Bethesda’sThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, starting each video with her catchphrase, “Good morning, grandkids.” Curry’s exploits in the land ofSkyrimhave made her a gaming celebrity, with her popularity enough to convince Bethesda toimmortalize her as an NPC in the upcomingElder Scrolls 6.

As Curry’s YouTube channel continues to grow, fans can expect her to keep sharing herSkyrimadventures as well as some personal details about her life. Unfortunately,Curry recently suffered a stroke, which caused her to forget how to playSkyrimfor a while. Curry received an outpouring of support from fans following this incident, with Bethesda even sending her a gift package full ofElder Scrollsgoodies.
Curry has become a prominent figure in theSkyrimcommunity, to the point where she was asked to speak at a PAX East panel last month. At PAX East, Curry addressed a variety of topics, includingStarfieldandThe Elder Scrolls 6. She said that shewants Todd Howard to hurry up and finishElder Scrolls 6so that she can play the game before she dies. She didn’t express much interest inStarfield, though she was asked about the game before Bethesda even showed any gameplay.
Bethesda revealedStarfieldgameplay at the recent Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, revealing that the game is basically going to be likeSkyrimin space. Considering this, maybe it will be something that Curry will want to check out whenever it launches next year. The shift from a fantasy world to a sci-fi setting may not be of interest to the YouTuber, but maybe it will help tide her over while she waits forElder Scrolls 6.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Editionis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
