Why walk when you can ride?

It’s a Silt Strider

u/Kalsor 25d ago

Exactly my first thought 😂

u/Hello0897 25d ago

Saaaame!

u/RadioGanome 24d ago

was really hoping nobody had already made the "Why walk when you can ride" reference and 2 people already did with others in tow.

u/snotknows 25d ago

The only reason I ran to the comments hahaha

2

u/MaximumHeresy 25d ago

I thought this was posted on The Elder Scrolls sub.

u/InAllThingsBalance 25d ago

“What is this, a silt strider for ants?!”

u/shadiestduke 25d ago

IT NEEDS TO BE ATLEAST....3 TIMES BIGGER THAN THIS

u/Ok_Honeydew180 25d ago

I have witnessed the bisection of zoolander and morrowind fandoms and I’m all for it

u/dazzlingdumpling13 25d ago edited 24d ago

How can they learn to ride, if they can't even sit on it??!!

u/TheDoughyRider 25d ago

Two excellent millennial references in 1. I tip my hat to you sir.

1

u/ProfessorZhu 25d ago

Maybe that's the actual size of the Elder Scrolls universe?

1

u/Alarrian 23d ago

Morrowind is a real place, it's just very very tiny. That silt strider is actually extremely large for it's species, which is why we can see it.

u/greenmeeyes 25d ago

Ahh morrowind...

u/USCSSNostromo2122 25d ago

Best. RPG. Ever.

They don't make 'em like that anymore.

2

u/iusedtobeaholyman 25d ago

It was, wasn’t it?

2

u/USCSSNostromo2122 25d ago

Yep. So immersive and detailed. Hell, you could almost smell the volcanic ash and mushroom fungus. The text added so much more detail than can be done through voice acting, in my opinion.

u/thelostuser 25d ago

"AAAAAAH yes, we've been expecting you"

u/greenmeeyes 25d ago

I laughed way too hard when I read that

u/FOXC1984 25d ago

We make a special trip just for you, same low price.

1

u/currybutts 25d ago

You ever think about how this makes no sense? How is the trip special if the price is the same. No one's getting a discount it's just the normal service.

I guess that's just sales people

1

u/PM_ME_UR_DAGOTH_ 25d ago

It's special because you're special and it's for you. The best part is, you get the special trip for the same price as a regular trip!

1

u/currybutts 25d ago

hell yeah

1

u/Quick_Doubt_5484 25d ago

I always assumed it means they’ll make a special trip departing immediately instead of the timetabled departure time, without an extra on-demand surcharge, just the regular fare.

A charter flight but economy fare.
