Big difference,' Purkeypile added, equipped with a smiley face. The cart had a path it wanted to follow, but that doesn't mean it was a path it COULD follow. If the road was too bumpy or the physics were not quite right,В there were a million and one ways that this one simple scene could go sideways, causing the cart to 'freak out and fly off the road.' 'Maybe somebody accidentally put a rock too close to the road. In a lengthy thread, the former Bethesda dev talked about the cart ride and how it's not a simple cart on the rails, it's physically simulated, and the 'why' behind why it went completely off course is kind of hilarious. So anyways, this meant that all kinds of things would cause the cart to start to freak out and fly off the road. See the issue with that cart ride is that it's not just a cart on rails.

Purkeypile opened up about the beginning sequence and how the smallest things can cause everything to go off the rails. In fact, even the studio pokes fun at itself for some of the more oddball glitches found in its engine, but in this case? It was an actual bug that caused things to go awry.

Not only was the scene itself pretty awesome in its own right, but the fade to black effect only to end up in the Skyrim cart has become a steadfast joke to put into TikTok videos, trailers, and other gags that point towards the game with a thousand releases. Let's be real the beginning of Skyrim was iconic.В Riding in on the cart towards your execution and the 'you're finally awake' line has essentially become the new Rick Roll when it comes to memes.
