Skyrim fan recreates its iconic opening – as a text-based RPG on Tinder
One Skyrim fan is looking to don their Amulet of Mara and seek out a partner beyond the frozen wastes of Skyrim - further even than the ashen shores of Solstheim. They’ve headed to dating app Tinder to find the one. The one to play a text-based Skyrim RPG with, that is.
Reddit user Gmtom has posted a screenshot of a Tinder exchange they had which they've titled ‘Tinder RPG’. In it, ‘Tom’ - presumably Redditer Gmtom - presents the unknown user with a mini choice-based adventure packed to the gills with more peril, excitement, and sword fishing than you might expect from the first communications of a Tinder beau-to-be.
The story seems to be based on his interpretation of the events leading up to the beginning of Skyrim. In each stage the Skyrim storyteller extraordinaire offers the user a scenario and a few choices of what to do next, following the text-based adventure genre faithfully. It starts out with a pretty meta introduction - “Congratulations on matching with Tom” - with four choices of response: a “cheesy pick up line”, “interesting fact”, “honest compliment”, or “start a text RPG”.
