Unforeseen Chaos Unleashed: 6-Year-Old's Xbox Adventure Takes a Wild Turn!

A gamer father had a disastrous incident when his attempt to share his Xbox with his son took a turn for the worse. Typically, stories about gamer dads involve heartwarming moments like receiving a surprise PS5 for Christmas. However, this father learned the hard lesson that it's important to pay attention when a young child is in charge of a gaming console.

Using video games as a means to connect can create incredible experiences. Whether it's playing games to stay connected with friends, strengthening bonds with family members, or even using online games to feel closer to long-distance partners, they possess a unique ability to bring people together. Many adults today grew up with video games being a significant part of their childhood, making it natural to want to pass on that experience as a parent. While there are a variety of Xbox titles that parents can introduce to their children to foster an interest in gaming, one father's attempt to bond with his son over Xbox backfired terribly.

While allowing his six-year-old son to play Xbox, Reddit user NoTangebleHuman experienced the horror of his son accidentally erasing his entire Skyrim save data. This incident ranks among the worst Skyrim disasters encountered. It is impossible to gauge the amount of time and effort the father had invested in Skyrim, only to have it vanish in an instant.

In addition to the Skyrim save data, the son also unintentionally erased three other unnamed games. It is unfortunate that NoTangebleHuman's son was able to successfully delete multiple games before anything suspicious was noticed. However, fellow gamers on Reddit sympathized with similar situations and flooded the post with comments. While there have been heartwarming stories of parents and children bonding through video games, such as a recent instance of a parent constructing a Switch Joy-Con shelf for their child, this particular attempt at family togetherness through gaming did not yield the same positive outcome.

While the loss of saved data may be disappointing, NoTangebleHuman can take solace in the fact that both parents and older siblings have also encountered similar situations. As children or siblings grow older, it is natural to want to share something special with them, and Xbox is often a platform that parents look forward to bonding with their kids over. Nevertheless, incidents like this might make some parents realize that they should have waited longer before introducing such experiences.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition can be enjoyed on various platforms including PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
