With Bethesda announcing back in 2021 that Curry would make an appearance as an NPC in The Elder Scrolls 6, it wasn’t too much of a stretch that she might’ve also snuck her way into becoming a Starfield Grandma, too. (Not to mention another internet-favourite Elder Scrolls characteralready popping up.)
“That may have just been a little ‘nod’ to me. I AM NOT in the game,” she wrote in response to one of several commenters who asked about the moment, telling another bluntly: “NO you did not see me”

In fact, as well as not being in Starfield, Curry expressed that she has no plans to even play Bethesda’s latest.
“No.. I don’t play ‘space’ games,” she explained in one comment, adding that she is “too angry” about the wait for Elder Scrolls 6 to fill the time with its sci-fi sibling.
“I’ve been seeing all about it,” she said about Starfield. “I’m too angry because they came out with that instead of ES6. I’ve been waiting too long.”

While Starfield earned the bulk of her disdain, it seems that Skyrim Grandma might also be reaching her limit with the game that brought her to fame, too - but isn’t sure what to do without its sequel to dive into.
“I played so many different stories that I’ve made up in Skyrim over the years that I was finally starting to get a little bit bored with it,” she said. “Didn’t have a new one to play, so I just felt like, well, crap. I put the thing away and quit playing it. And now I’m bored. I was bored playing it, and now I’m bored not playing it."
Curry previously called out Bethesda top dog Todd Howard fortaking too long to finish Elder Scrolls 6, telling a PAX East audience: “I’d ask him to hurry up and finish The Elder Scrolls 6. I want to play it before I die.”
During the same panel, Curry expressed that she would wait forStarfieldto be released before deciding whether to play it or not. It seems that her patience on that end has finally run out.
