A couple of nights ago, Imgur user Velorok was minding his own business, playingPreyat his desk, when a bullet came blasting through the drywall in his apartment. The bullet could have hit Velorok, but luckily for him, it was stopped by a copy ofThe Elder Scrollsanthology. Velorok documented the traumatic event in his Imgur gallery, which you can see in its entirety by clickinghere.
Velorok’s copy ofThe Elder Scrollsanthology was sitting on his desk, to the left of his monitor. The bullet ripped through the anthology’s box, and was stopped in-between twoMorrowindexpansions. His copies ofMorrowindand its two expansions were destroyed by the bullet. Velorok thinks his copy ofOblivionwould have also been destroyed, had it not been for the fact that the disc was safely in his PC’s disc drive at the time of the shooting.
At the time of this writing, it’s unknown exactly where the bullet came from, but Velorok surmises that it came from the neighboring apartment, which is housed by people that apparently fight on a regular basis. It’s unclear if any of his neighbors were hurt during the ordeal or not, but hopefully the only thing damaged was Velorok’s wall and his copy ofThe Elder Scrollsanthology box set.
In the meantime,Bethesdacaught wind of Velorok’s story and according to his latest update in the gallery, contacted him about what happened. We’re not sure exactly what Bethesda said to Velorok, but it seems likely that the company is going to replace his copy ofThe Elder Scrollsanthology, or perhaps do something even more special for him. After all, it’s pretty good press forThe Elder Scrollsbrand that a copy of the anthology literally saved someone’s life.
