The most infamous Skyrim reference ever naturally shows up in Starfield.
If you’re reading this text right now, there is a considerable chance that you’re a PC gamer, and if that’s true, then there’s a nearly-equal chance that you’ve played Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls Part V: Skyrim. The game was a gigantic hit, and brought the company’s already-popular fantasy game series out of a niche audience and into the true mainstream, with even prime-time TV referencing the «arrow to the knee» joke.
Indeed, that particular reference to Skyrim is about as worn-out as it gets. Still, if anyone’s allowed to make that joke anymore, it’s surely Bethesda itself. The company’s new release, Starfield, technically doesn’t launch for another four days, but it’s playable right now if you purchased the Premium edition of the game, or get it from Game Pass.
