Viral YouTuber and grandmother Shirley Curry, better known as ‘Skyrim Grandma’ is finally playing another Bethesda RPG after nine years.
Curry has grown her channel to an impressive 1.3M subscribers in her years on the platform following her adventures playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
While Curry has tried a few other games here and there, such as ‘Call of Cthulhu,’ she has continued to go back to Skyrim even after announcing her gaming retirement in 2024.
With The Elder Scrolls VI still nowhere in sight, Skyrim Grandma has ventured to a different game and she’s already found some issues with it.
Skyrim Grandma has big issues with Oblivion Remastered
On May 31, Skyrim Grandma uploaded her first video playing Oblivion Remastered and voiced some criticisms with the RPG.
“What I’m having a fit with is that I don’t know how to show my character and turn the camera in front of me and show me to you,” she told viewers. “I’ve punched every key and nothing happens that way.”

“Ugly movement, just absolutely ugly movement,” she slammed the game’s controls, adding that she wished studios would keep the same button layout they had in previous releases.
Despite some concerns, Shirley did take time to praise the game’s graphics and was eager to explore the open world.
Jumping into a different game like Oblivion is certainly a big shift for the 89-year-old, but her viewers have been jumping into the comments to help her by suggesting a few setting changes and gameplay tips.
Plus, some fans have just been anxiously waiting for her to try out Oblivion. “I have been wating for this more than the release of the remaster itself!” one viewer commented.
Hopefully, Shirley can adapt to the changes in controls and the game can tide her over until Elder Scrolls 6 – something she had previously urged Bethesda to release “before she dies.”
