Skyrim Loading Screen Facts

Text on the meme

Be careful who you trust. Some people aren’t always who they seem. Traveling companions can hold items for you and will assist you in combat. Onions have the ability to reflect melee damage Be wary of Appalachiuns, they are a fickle folk. Some say magical artifacts can grant the worthy entry to new worlds. If a character likes you enough, they may offer you a chance to Romance them.

What it means

A dark, Skyrim-inspired video cycles through absurd faux loading-screen tips, each illustrated by a strange live-action or edited character. The joke comes from presenting increasingly ridiculous game mechanics—onions reflecting melee damage, romantic offers, and magical artifacts—as serious advice, while the ominous Skyrim-style ambient track makes the nonsense feel grand and mysterious. The clip uses Dreyma’s “Secunda” from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, whose atmospheric mood heightens the mock-serious fantasy presentation.
