In a remarkable turn of events, 89-year-old Shirley Curry, fondly known as Skyrim Grandma, has embarked on a new journey into the world of Oblivion Remastered. This iconic figure of the gaming community is diving into the complexities of Cyrodiil with the same enthusiasm that captured the hearts of many in Skyrim.
As she steps into this remaster, she faces intricate challenges that have remained since 2006, particularly the infamous lockpicking minigame which many players have found perplexing. “It’s not just an age thing, grandma. It doesn’t make sense to most of us either,” comments a fellow gamer, empathizing with her struggles.
To date, she has uploaded two videos titled Learning and Still Learning, capturing her initial reactions to the game’s updates and gameplay dynamics. During her journey, she has expressed frustration over the control scheme differences compared to Skyrim, notably the weapon controls not aligning with her expectations.
Despite her initial challenges, Curry is enamored with the beauty of the remastered world, taking numerous screenshots as she explores. Her fans now wonder just how long this beloved gaming grandma will continue her adventure in Oblivion, and whether she might eventually venture into Morrowind for a full-circle experience in the Elder Scrolls universe.
