Despite releasing over a decade ago, the love and adulation that many fans have forThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimhas managed to persist. Even now, players are finding new and inventive ways to pushSkyrimbeyond its limits, accomplishing some truly impressive, and occasionally ridiculous, feats. Now, one player has gone ahead and pranked one of the most recognizable NPCs inSkyrimin the most hilarious fashion.
In recent years, fans ofSkyrimhave begun experimenting with the game’s mechanics in ways that the developers would have never otherwise intended. For instance, one player recently decided tofill Breezehome up to the brim with cheesefor no other reason, other than they wanted to. That level of freedom is what excites many longtime fans ofSkyrim,to the point where another player has used the object system to play a practical joke on the Jarl of Whiterun.

Over onReddit, a user named litaTequila decided to put every interactive item in the Jarl’s quarters in Dragonsreach on top of Jarl Balgruuf as he slept. The massive pile of plates, bowls, vases, drums, and other cursory items is so large its spilling off the bed. Though, the fact that the Jarl gets out of bed and pushes all the items out of the way, completely unfazed, is perhaps the most hilarious part of this entire exchange.
Clearly, the developers over atBethesdanever thought players would try to do something like this. Therefore, the Jarl and the other NPCs don’t respond dynamically to the circumstances. Although, considering that the player didn’t attack the Jarl or cause him any bodily harm, it seems unlikely that the rest of the NPCs would respond with violence.
It’s amazing that players are still managing to accomplish all of these bizarre moments withinSkyrim. Following the release ofSkyrim: Anniversary Edition,players figured out how to do all sorts of different things as a result of the new content. Oneplayer even managed to beatSkyrim: Anniversary Editionusing nothing but a fishing rod.
In any case, it will be interesting to see what the future holds forThe Elder Scrollsseries going forward. WhileThe Elder Scrolls 6is confirmed to be in development, there has been no additional news regarding the development of the game. Given the ongoing production ofStarfield, it’s likely that Bethesda will show more ofThe Elder Scrolls 6onceStarfieldhas officially released.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
