A funny Skyrim video posted online shows the game's courier speaking to the player underwater. Skyrim is filled with memorable and iconic characters that players have come to know and love over the years, and the courier is just a small part of that.
Initially released in 2011, Skyrim immediately became one of the most popular RPGs of all time. Its popularity has never really wavered, due to a dedicated mod community and Bethesda's commitment to continually re-releasing the title on new platforms. The game has become renowned for its hilarious glitches, which range from the weird to the wonderful. Some of these even make Skyrim look like a totally different game entirely. One glitch makes Skyrim look like Silent Hill with its foggy environments and limited visibility. The game's enduring popularity means that players should expect these types of glitches to be popping up for years to come.
The clip of the Skyrim glitch was posted to Reddit by user Phsfalcao, showing the game's courier chasing the protagonist underwater, and delivering his message while completely submerged. However, he speaks completely normally, completely unfazed by being underwater. Skyrim is filled with funny glitches like this, and the courier is central to a few of them. One Skyrim player even encountered the courier with no clothes in another bizarre bug involving the character.
Despite his minimal role in the game, the courier is one of Skyrim's most-iconic characters due to the abundance of memes about him online. In-game, the courier is relentless, and as shown by this video, will let nothing stop him from doing his job. Another fan of the game had other ideas. This Skyrim player figured out how to escape the courier, despite his dedication to his work.
Ultimately, bugs like this are harmless and so most players don't mind when they occur. Bethesda games are known for their hilarious bugs, and many players are expecting future releases from the company such as Starfield to contain similar issues. In fact, Starfield's modders are already preparing to fix the game's bugs ahead of its upcoming release. Plenty of fans just want The Elder Scrolls 6 from Bethesda, but news on the game has been hard to come by recently. Although it was initially revealed in 2018, The Elder Scrolls 6 is unlikely to release in the next couple of years as they focus on post-launch support for Starfield. Fans of The Elder Scrolls fans have already exercised plenty of patience since the 2011 release of Skyrim, and a little more is required yet.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is available now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
