In The Elder Scrolls Online a player has been buying and hoarding cheese for months. His goal: to gather a million of the stinky delicacies. Now he has succeeded and is considered a hero of the community. Read the whole story here on MeinMMO.
Who is it about and what did he do? The reddit user PauliusPub has invested a lot of time and money in ESO to achieve an epic goal: the accumulation and hoarding of 1,000,000 pieces of cheese! He proudly posted it on reddit, with the title “It is finally done! I have just collected a million pieces of cheese!”
How long did it take and what did it cost? According to the user, the epic quest for dairy products has cost him about 9 months of his life and over 10 million gold pieces. One ought to indulge every now and then.
A Million Chees – But Why?
Why did he do it? When asked why on all Aedra and Daedra he collected so much cheese, the user simply replied: “Honestly, I don’t remember my original idea about it, but I thought it would be funny.”
What do the fans say? The thread on reddit about the cheesy campaign has apparently struck a chord with the ESO community, as it has already received (as of September 20, 2021) over 1,800 upvotes and 153 comments. Most of them praise the endurance and determination of the competent cheese merchant and commend him for his heroic deed.
Some of the praises are as follows (Warning, cheesy puns ahead):
- WeimSeam: “The hero we never thought we needed.”
- aflarge: “You are the chosen cheeser!”
- Ralkan28: “A true hero of Nirn. May the prophets, Aedra, Daedra, and all other supernatural beings praise your name!”
- Akagi_An: “You are the creamiest of the cheese merchants!”
- Velvetdelirium: “Did you seriously spend 10 million JUST on cheese? Wow, you, sir, are a true champion of Sheogorath!”
What’s the deal with cheese and ESO? The last comment refers to a particularly popular NPC in ESO (and other Elder Scrolls games), the mad Daedric god Sheogorath. He resides in a region of the realm of oblivion, the Shivering Isles, which contains a place called the “cheese merchant’s corner.”
For cheese is a delicacy for the god of madness and his insane rants about the dairy product are legendary. It’s likely that the brave reddit user wanted to curry favor with the mad god.
Equally famous as Sheogorath and found in pretty much every Elder Scrolls game is this whimsical NPC: M’aiq the Liar. You can now invite him to your house.
