When Skyrim NPCs completely is not going to cease standing on chairs, strolling into partitions, and getting typically confused about pathfinding their method round one free cobblestone within the highway, I normally simply sigh and roll my eyes. They don’t know any higher they usually by no means will, I remind myself.
Turns out, it’s quite a bit rattling funnier when an precise human being does the identical issues with some panache and dedication to the function. This man on TikTok (additionally on YouTube in the event you’re an Old like me) has a complete sequence of “Skyrim IRL” movies the place he replicates the ridiculous habits of Skyrim’s less-sentient inhabitants.
I first discovered JinnKid late final 12 months from his second Skyrim NPC video—the one which apparently blew up and kicked the sequence off correct. Now I’m advised it’s information? You’re telling me I might have been shitposting this whole time? I’ve a lot to make up for.
Anyway, right here’s the primary one I noticed and doubtless the primary one value watching. He has one prior however offers up the gag by not being totally ready to deadpan his exit (nonetheless humorous although). JinnKid does the complete Skyrim routine: providing a bizarre and unsolicited opinion to the POV character after which standing up, strolling straight into his chair, glitching on high of it, and eventually moonwalking away to the other wall. Some mixture of the particular Skyrim tavern music within the background and JinnKid’s totally severe face sells it and I truthfully hold laughing out loud.
By now, a number of months later, JinnKid’s actually acquired the act nailed. He’s acquired the Nord accent down. He does the marginally stilted and uncanny stroll cycles. There are foolish outfits. Ah sure, and this one’s a joke about sticking a pot on an NPC’s head to obscure their imaginative and prescient. Classic transfer, dragonborn.
If that is your jam, you will discover the remainder of JinnKid’s Skyrim IRL movies in this YouTube playlist. There are loads extra NPCs to flex on, from Cicero the goofy Dark Brotherhood jester to the basic arrow to the knee guard. Skyrim memes by no means die, they only develop up. You also can discover his movies on TikTok at @jinnkid I suppose, however I don’t know a factor about that so that you’re by yourself.
