The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has blessed the world with one of the most fun RPG experiences to date and its impact on pop culture has yet to be topped by others in the genre. It’s not just an infinitely enjoyable gameplay loop that Skyrim has given us, but also better opportunities at humor. By far, the most prominent memes brought about by Skyrim are the skill or perk memes.

These are the very traits and disciplines you choose to level-up in the game by doing the most repetitive tasks. It’s understandable why some might have been driven insane by the repetition that it has become a prevalent callback for any joke, unfortunate event, or something amazing. So until The Elder Scrolls VI comes out, better get used to the perk and skill memes.

10 He’s Starting To Believe…

Two-handed is one of the most appealing skills in the game because great-weapons are emanating with strength and beastliness. Speaking of beastliness here’s a bear that learned how to evolve rather fast and skipped the other hurdles of intellectual development.

He went straight for the arts and played the piano. Regardless of how that one actually sounded bears in Skyrim are not too far off with how they always seem to outsmart and outmatch the Dragonborn, particularly in the two-handed department.

9 The Duality Of Man

Illusion skills are not that favored in Skyrim because it’s not that viable as a style of play. On paper though, it’s one of the most interesting branches of magic in Skyrim and Tamriel as it allows for all kinds of bamboozlement for an already atrocious and outdated AI.

More than that, it has some real-life applications too such as that impressively deceptive test answer above. Of course, whether it works or not is subject for debate, just like how Illusion spells in Skyrim have questionable functions and practicality.

8 So Who Won?

Destruction has always been used in Skyrim to signify the most damaging burns and comebacks in social media. Still, there are some brave souls who seek to reverse the damage done by a response that warrants a Destruction 100 designation.

For these individuals who have saved the day, like that one optimistic man above, the Restoration perk is the most fitting reversal of fortune. If only it was like this in the game, but sadly, the Restoration spells are not that useful or powerful, otherwise the Nords wouldn’t have been so grumpy all the time with how snarky they are with one another.

7 Open Sesame!

You ought to congratulate yourself for being an upstanding citizen on the off-chance that you actually followed the norms and rules of society by obeying the door opening signs. Don’t feel too flattered though since you’re probably not as cool as the thugs and bad-asses of Riften if you respected door orientations.

A real sneak-thief would have gone against the grain. How else would you develop such a high lockpicking skill if you don’t disobey doors? Of course, we’re not saying you ought to commit some breaking and entering in real-life, at best you could only likely get away with lollygagging.

6 Thieves Guild Must Be So Proud…

Speaking of the Thieves Guild, they’re one of the most interesting factions in Skyrim due to how they all talk like they have secrets they’re dying to reveal but can’t since they’re so Gucci. Then again, they also end up recruiting the clueless Dragonborn even if he fails the recruitment test.

It’s a miracle many of the Dragonborn’s thievery doesn’t end up like that fiasco with a burglar above. That would’ve been an epic way to get caught, plus it might compel the robbery victim to lessen the charges since you practically complimented them by laughing at their jokes.

5 Purpose 100

Of all the Skyrim perks/skills that are most repetitive to grind, Smithing takes the cake because, in order to increase it, you actually have to focus on smithing as opposed to just getting hit while wearing heavy armor or hacking an enemy to death with weapons.

By the end of the smithing journey, you probably already have hundreds or maybe even thousands of leather, ingots, and daggers. For that many clones, their perfect representation would be none other than Agent Smith from the Matrix who multiplies like nobody’s business. Oh, and his name is also Smith, hence smithing, in case you didn’t know.

4 Pick-Up Artists Are Quaking With Fear Now

Now that’s a lovely way to shut down someone you don’t like who throws unsolicited flirting. Channeling your inner destruction mage in Skyrim and spitting out fireball-like responses ought to get the point across.

Also, whoever sent that first message was setting themselves up for failure and has a Skyrim speech skill that starts with zero. In Skyrim, that’s how Nords interact with High Elves or how Imperials interact with Nords, or how all other races talk to Nords.

3 Self-Destruction 100?

Ah, the legendary Florida Man. Most of his exploits are now a huge pool of literary nonsense that can be used for some wacky heroes’ adventures. In Skyrim, there are plenty of those as players end up becoming cannibals, selling souls for a damn mace, and getting drunk.

It’s not too far off from the typical Florida Man escapades, really. Why, one would even think that the Dragonborn is nothing but a careless halfwit who keeps botching jobs and getting by only on pure luck. Sadly, that wasn’t the case for the Florida Man who loved to keep his phone near his butt.

2 So That’s Why These Memes Won’t Die

Turns out Skyrim perk and skill memes have been around for quite a while now that some meme snobs are disliking the fact that they’re becoming more and more low-effort as the months go by. Some even go as far as wishing the meme template would die and rest in Sovngarde.

That’s not possible at the moment, though. They’ll have to wait until The Elder Scrolls VI. Additionally, that meme above best describes why the template just won’t die in meta way. Even death can’t surpass that jacked up block stat.

1 How Do You Like To Get To The Cloud District?

Now, for a different and more creative (and arguably more useful) way to spend that Pickpocketing 100 skill instead of making another meme template for it. As it is, robbing a certain socialite in Whiterun blind is a necessary task because of how insufferable he is toward the Dragonborn.

It’s as easy as stealing a sweet roll from a kid too. Nazeem surely won’t mind getting all of his items stolen since he’s high-status enough that he can probably afford new clothes anyway, right? So make sure that he gets to the Cloud District as fabulously as possible.
