I hate how I never played Skyrim nor actually watched the full intro, yet instantly got this joke
Has Toddposting/the Skyrim Opening gone too far? Is this starting to reach loss.jpg levels of abstractness, where in a few years simply seeing a loaded kart is going to be instantly recognizable?

Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn't been looking for you, I could've stolen that horse and been halfway to Hammerfell.
