Summary
ASkyrimplayer online has shared an image of a strange letter they received from their adopted daughter after giving her an allowance of 500 Septims. Players have been able to adopt children inSkyrimsince the release of theHearthfireDLC, but this particular interaction is definitely the expansion working as intended.
Part ofSkyrim’s appeal is the bizarre encounters that the game naturally creates for players. Sometimes, these encounters come as a result of glitches, but they’re interesting nonetheless. As long as these bugs aren’t game-breaking, then they can create good memories for players in the game in their own right. For example, there was oneSkyrimplayer who absorbed a Dragon Soul after killing an Imperial Guard, creating an interesting interaction that this player will remember for a long time.
Redditor Illapizza shared the images, which include a letter from theiradopted daughter inSkyrim. According to the player, they had previously given their child, Runa Fair-Shield, an allowance of 500 Septims. At some point in the future, they send the player a letter via a courier, describing them as a “helpful soul” for “offering help to the one in need.” The letter also asks them to “help me with my troubles,” promising that “I will repay handsomely” for their services. Upon visiting their daughter, Illapizza said that the child just wanted a health potion to cure her sickness, which one player in the thread described as “oddly cute.”
Skyrim Player Receives Weird Letter from Adopted Daughter
After narrowing it down, most agreed that the strange letter was the result of a glitch created by using the Immersive World EncountersSkyrimmod. This makes sense, as the mod may not take into consideration the fact that the NPC in question is actually the player’s adopted daughter. While mods are largely great, this is the kind of unintended consequences that can happen as a result of using them. For most players, this is a small price to pay for what they bring to the table.
It’s fascinating to see the kind of situationsSkyrimplayers continue to find themselves in 13 years after the game’s release. However, gamers continue to pine for any news aboutThe Elder Scrolls 6, and understandably so at this point. News about the game has been tough to come by over the years. Earlier this year, aBethesda developer accidentally hinted atThe Elder Scrolls 6’s setting, but that’s the closest it has come to any concrete news about the title, which was first announced in 2018.
