Wilhelm took an arrow to the knee

Sorry for doing this. But this has gotta be from this movie Beth got the "Arrow to the knee"-meme.

Here is the first true arrow to the knee - Wilhelm!

The Wilhelm scream should be added as a sound-effect when shooting someone in the knee.

Honestly, I don't think they intended for it to become a meme. But they just rolled with it since it took off. And also, that looked for of the upper thigh area as opposed to his knee. :P

He didn't even get it in the knee... Bethesda didn't try to make a meme either, it just happened.

No one ever intends things to become memes, unless they're forcing memes in which case they're not memes at all.

That said, I don't really see how this video is related to Skyrim at all. (although it was fun to watch ;))

I know it's not in the knee, but it's close - and the scream of agony is the best ever!

The language isn't Enligsh, it's just translated to English so we can understand. How fun would it be if everyone in a game spoke a made-up language all the time? How fun is it listening to the dragon tongue?
