"Grandma Shirley" Is Officially Onboard As 'Skyrim' Mod to Make Her a Follower Gains Attention

Shirley Curry, AKA the Gaming Grandma / Skyrim Grandma is the 81-year old gamer that has become a beloved part of the gaming community ever since her YouTube channel made its big debut back in 2015. With hours upon hours of walkthroughs and streaming, she's a staple in the Elder Scrolls franchise - so much so that fans are petitioning to get her into the 6th entry into the series as an NPC.

I haven't done this before, but I think posting the time-stamped link with a transcription of the quote would be excellent. Just listen to the videos and think about what you would like a Grandma Shirley follower to say."

Things like:

• Location specific dialogue
• Expressions of wonder at the beauty of the sky, scenery, etc
• Expressions of disgust at certain creatures, like the Giant Frostbite Spider in Bleak Falls Barrow
• Kill quotes
• Any random things she might say to enhance a situation. For example, when she sees Arvel the Swift, she says, "You have something I want, and I'm gonna get it."
