Summary
ASkyrimplayer online has accidentally recreated the hilariousBatman: Arkham"man" meme with an unfortunate character creation. AlthoughSkyrimdoes a great job of allowing players to create any character they want to be, in this case, it has had unfortunate results.
Skyrimis no stranger to memes being made from the game. There’s Nazeem, the character many fans see as one big meme. Then, there’s the “arrow to the knee” guard, a line that has been a near-constant meme ever sinceSkyrim’s release in 2011. There was even oneSkyrimplayer who turned the “arrow to the knee” meme into a tattoo, showcasing how prevalent it is in the community. There’s no doubt about it -Skyrimis home to some of the most iconic gaming memes ever, but it’s still surprising whenever a meme from another franchise makes its way into Bethesda’s RPG.
Redditor Eastern-Animal-3276 shared an image of their latestSkyrimcharacter, who is wearing the Nightingale Armor and the Executioner’s Hood. Together, both of these items look like Batman without the bat on his chest or the pointy ears on his cowl. It’s these two characteristics that define the “Man” meme in theBatmancommunity. Without anything bat-related, he simply becomes “Man.” That’s exactly who thisSkyrimcharacter resembles, and gamers in the thread were quick to crack jokes about the situation. Eastern-Animal-3276 saw the funny side of the situation, leaning into the jokes in their responses.
Skyrim Player Recreates Batman: Arkham’s ‘Man’ Meme in the Game
One even suggested that Eastern-Animal-3276 names their character Wuce Brayne, while The Dark Knightingale was another strong contender. Jokes aside, one gamer had a fantastic suggestion, pointing out that they should call their character Kevin, after iconicBatman: The Animated Seriesvoice actor Kevin Conroy, whopassed away almost two years ago. This would be a fantastic tribute to the legendary performer.
Although gamers are still creating funnySkyrimcharacters, hopefully it won’t be too much longer before players are able to do it inThe Elder Scrolls 6, too. The game was first announced in 2018, but Bethesda has been very quiet about the long-awaited project for years. Soon, the wait forThe Elder Scrolls 6will extend beyond 13 years, which is crazy to imagine. So little is known about the game in an official capacity, not even the setting. Earlier this year, aBethesda dev accidentally hinted atThe Elder Scrolls 6’s settingvia a Pinterest board, although this doesn’t cement anything for certain. WithStarfieldand its first expansion now released, hopefully, it’s “all systems go” at the studio on theElder Scrollssequel now.
