The Absurd Reality of Being a Skyrim Protagonist

The Absurd Reality of Being a Skyrim Protagonist - Gaming on Aviaclip

This meme uses a classic scene featuring Homer Simpson to highlight the common player experience in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The image illustrates the humorous ease with which a single player character can join and lead nearly every major faction in the game simultaneously, including the Companions, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Dawnguard, the Blades, and the College of Winterhold. The punchline focuses on the Bards' College, pointing out the often-perceived lack of depth or specific gameplay requirements for joining various organizations within the game's open-world structure.

Thieves guild is a PAIN to complete 100% you have to do like hundreds of missions. Dark Brotherhood is good. The Dawnguard is good but underutilized. The blades are meh, you have to do it to finish the main quest. The College is a joke as you don't even need to be a mage. The Bar

Head of the mages guild only cast one spell in my life. It's great the only requirement was to clear out the same looking dungeon that every guild requires. That game sucked

I just love how you can be one of the Stormcloaks and the Imperials at the same time. Aren't they, like, arch enemies? I always feel like a double agent for no one

Dark brotherhood was the only child they loved.

It always felt like a missing feature when I joined the bards college but never really could do any bard stuff.

Not to mention you became Arch Mage without using magic and got in the Thiefs Guild for stealing pretty much nothing. Also please join our super secret society you just learned about.
