The new role -playing game Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has appeared and fans have already discovered an Easter Egg that the boss is particularly proud of. The best-known meme from role-playing history, the “arrow in the knee”, from The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim appears in an extreme version in the new role-playing game.
This is the best known meme in role-playing history: The meme is called “I took to Arrow to the Knee” and comes from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
In the game you meet a guard who says different sayings, including the statement: “I was once an adventurer like her, but then I got an arrow in the knee.”
The meme was created together with the release of Skyrim on November 11, 2011 and has spread further and more in the past 14 years. A week after the release there were first threads in Reddit with the title. GIFs were already circulating at the end of November. The meme is now omnipresent.
Together with “The Cake Is A Lie”, it is one of the best-known memes in gaming-in the MMORPG area an equivalent would probably be “emptoy Jenkins”.
The meme is like a distinguishing sign among gamers that you belong and know what you speak of. It is happy to be abbreviated with “I was x, but then I got an arrow in the knee.” For “” X “something is set.
“An arrow in the knee? That’s nothing! ”
This is how the meme appears in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: A user divides the meme on X:
In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, the adventurer meets an NPC that carries a broken arrow in the head. The shaft still protrudes from his forehead.
The adventurer asks: “You know that something stands out from your forehead? Looks like a horn. “
The man laughs and replies: “A horn? Nobody has said that yet. This is a metal arrow, that is what is left of it. It was bigger, but I canceled it after I almost put the eye out of it. ”
“I heard of a guy who got an arrow in the knee.”
“Ha! In the knee? That’s nothing! With such a scratch you can go dancing the next day, but have you ever heard from whom who got an arrow in the head and survived? “
The boss of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Daniel Vávra, comments on the clip: We took the “I was an adventurer like her”! For the boss, the release of Kingdom Come Delveriance 2 is a festival because it gets so good reviews. Vávra was hostile in advance: Chief developer of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 scolds about Metacritic and a review that messes up the cut
