Skyrim’s Wildest New Character Is a Talking Ikea Shelf, Voiced by Matt Berry

A new mod for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has introduced a talking IKEA shelf as a playable character, voiced by Matt Berry. The mod, called Kallax Storageborn, adds a companion who can carry items and help players avoid becoming over-encumbered. According to PC Gamer, this character is based on the real-life IKEA Kallax series of shelves.

The mod includes a new questline that involves assembling the Kallax Storageborn in an abandoned Dwemer emporium, as reported by PC Gamer. Players can summon the character with a custom Dragon Shout, "AYE-KEY-YAH", even when they are not the active companion, IGN stated. The mod also adds new loot, including the Meatball Helmet and the Allenblade, as mentioned by PC Gamer and IGN.

The collaboration between IKEA and the game's modding community aims to bring a solution to the problem of clutter in the game, with IKEA executive Kemi Anthony stating that the company wants to create a better everyday life for people, including in their digital lives, IGN reported.
