The legendary Shirley Curry, affectionately dubbed Skyrim Grandma by fans, has embarked on her adventure through The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - with her enthusiastic community offering endless guidance.
In her debut episode titled 'Oblivion Remastered #1 Learning' on her massively popular YouTube channel, the sprightly 89-year-old takes her first steps beyond the tutorial section of Bethesda's refreshed classic.
"Rise and shine, my wonderful grandkids! Welcome to Oblivion Remastered," Curry greets her audience warmly. "Finally escaped that dreadful prison maze with all its shadowy corridors and sewer tunnels - oh what an eternity that took! Now feast your eyes on Cyrodiil's breathtaking landscapes with me!"
True to form, Curry showcases delightful moments of vulnerability while adapting to Cyrodiil's mechanics - constantly turning to chat for guidance on simple things like switching camera perspectives. Viewers get front-row seats to her charming exploration routine as she familiarizes herself with movement controls and gameplay systems. And yes, those infuriating lockpicking minigames? Even veterans shudder remembering those!

Her second episode 'Oblivion Remastered #2 Still Learning' continued documenting these early struggles amidst goblin-infested caverns. "Prepare yourselves for plenty more grumbling from this old gal," she warns humorously while battling oversized rodents.
Throughout her journey streams, Curry's chat transforms into the ultimate Elder Scrolls strategy guide with fans sharing invaluable tips:
"Grandma Shirley! The legendary TES4 adventure begins!", one excited viewer exclaimed, earning Curry's heart emoji response.
The community floods chat with mechanical tips: "Camera mode swaps by clicking mouse wheel (PC) or right stick (controller)! Skip lockpick frustration with Skeleton Key from Nocturnal's quest! The Tower Stone blessing (visible glowing from Imperial City at night) grants daily lockpicking help!"
Another thoughtful suggestion: "So happy you're finding your rhythm Shirley! Remember using Wait function avoids encounters when resting - just never when enemies lurk nearby!" Curry personally thanked this contributor.

Last year's retirement announcement from content creation after nearly a decade proved temporary - Elder Scrolls' siren song proved too strong!
Curry's impact on the franchise remains unprecedented. Her status evolved from passionate player to community icon, eventually earning recognition from Bethesda itself. When fans rallied to memorialize her in TES6, developers confirmed she'll appear as an NPC!
While we await TES6's distant arrival, Skyrim Grandma happily loses herself exploring every cranny of Cyrodiil's remastered beauty.
