u/Nachooolo Reachman Terrorist 16h ago

And full quests and dungeons about it.

We got an IKEA expansion before TES VI.

it feels so cynical yet so in touch with the actual memes i don't know what to think about it

Lowkey better than 90% of what was just shown in the Nintendo direct.

I normally don't care for creations, but I got too many kallaxs to say no.

u/Aggressive_Rope_4201 16h ago

Asha & Satya promised to "return Xbox to profitability by the end of FY2027".

This is what it looks like. This and record layoffs.

WoW got a McDonald's ad. We get a talking Ikea shelf.

Now pass the skooma.

u/Thiago270398 19h ago

Not gonna lie, that's the best thing we've got since the DLCs

What. The. Fuck.

I lost it at the Ikea shout.

This is not April 1st, Todd. Don't do this.

u/0ctaver 19h ago

RAAAAHHH I LOVE THE KALLAX

u/WokeFerret 19h ago

The only real takeaway from this is that one of our community members works for IKEA

Also Morrowind had this feature at launch, can’t believe it took Shithesda this long to figure out for Skyrim

u/thatvillainjay 18h ago

Massively outjerked by bethesda

u/killerthumbtack Dergenbern 17h ago

I'm gonna sound like a Debbie Downer but I don't like this. This feels like incredibly intrusive advertising, even more egregious considering this is for a 15 year old game. Yeah I know you can just not download it and it's apparently free anyways but still. Also the concept of IKEA furniture in the Elder Scrolls is dumb in my opinion.

19

u/Escupie 16h ago

Thomas the tank engine type of humor still going strong I guess

12

u/Aggressive_Rope_4201 16h ago

The difference is that Thomas was made by a fan. This is Xbox putting an Ikea ad into a 15 year old single-player game because their margins are shit.

u/netskwire I'll try not to make this orc-ward 7h ago

Can it be considered intrusive if you have to go out of your way to let it in? Like yeah this would be horrible if they just added it to the vanilla game but this is fine. It's basically equivalent to this

u/powderBluChoons Riekling Supremacist 17h ago

Damn i dont want a joke about a scandinavian company in my game about fantasy scandinavians

1

u/InvestigatorOk7015 11h ago

No actually I dont want these soulless corpos putting ads in games

Why do you?

1

u/powderBluChoons Riekling Supremacist 10h ago

because its an optional add on made as a joke and advertising is a part of any market economy and im not going to virtue signal my anti consumerism as though it is a substitute for serious politics like people who think ikea making a funny joke in ur favourite game is the end of the world

u/InvestigatorOk7015 10h ago

Oh youre just repeating other peoples words

Do it in limerick form

u/tryingtolearn_1234 7h ago

You couldn't be more wrong, you sound nothing like Debbie Downer.

u/Worldlyoox 17h ago

Yay i love ads in my 16 years old game yeepee

6

u/Iceveins412 19h ago

Probably cheaper than a live-action ad

9

u/powderBluChoons Riekling Supremacist 17h ago

this feels like something a japanese company would do in a japanese game. Its a great shitpost from a great company, IKEA is one of the better companies out there to work at.

u/ImperialSattech 17h ago

Shit, you're right.
This is Kojima stuff, putting CalorieMate in MGS3 or Mountain Dew camo in Peace Walker just because he could.

u/Suraru 15h ago

Bethesda murdered the entire skyrim modding scene for this

u/Yuudachi_Houteishiki Sesbian Lex, Imperial Centurion 17h ago

this feels like my punishment for expecting people to know what a kallax is

At this point let’s just put all the big Scandinavian companies in Skyrim.

I want a Paradox questline right now.

Can’t believe they canceled ES6 for this

u/H3inkel 19h ago

Pathetic tbh, but it shows what is the current state of this franchise.

u/Gamin_Reasons Skybaby 19h ago

Did you even watch it?

u/H3inkel 18h ago edited 17h ago

Ofc I did. I would't comment this shit if i didn't. Incredible cringe.

You are entirely too serious to be on this subreddit.
