* [[Hailfire Peaks]]:
** Eastmarch gives us a subtle example: the north half of it is as icy as it gets, while down south you've got geysers, hot springs, and lush forests a-plenty.
** A more video gamey example would be Solstheim. Thanks to the eruption of Vvardenfell, at least half the continent is an ashy, desolate wasteland where smoldering impact craters and fiery monsters lurk in the wilderness. The other half is [[Grim Up North]], and all it takes is several steps to immediately go from trudging across ash-choked forests to roaming a winter wonderland.
* [[Hammerspace]]: The player and NPC's which can s/he can pickpocket. The player can carry dozens of broadswords and battle-axes and still sprint. Some NPC's can have their entire inventory removed via pickpocket save for one item. If caught, the NPC may draw a weapon which was never in their inventory.
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Hakon One-Eye.
Line 14 ⟶ 17:
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]:
** A book on Oblivion has an introduction that is also a [[Shout-Out]] to the quote by [[Friedrich Nietzsche]], saying "He who enters Oblivion allows Oblivion to enter him."
** In the Laid to Rest quest in Morthal, the player discovers that a clan of vampires is planning to conquer the city. Their leader is {{spoiler|Movarth, who was first mentioned in ''Oblivion'' in the in-game book ''Immortal Blood'' as a vampire hunter who fell victim to the author who himself was secretly a vampire.}}
** The Silver Hand might have fallen prey to this trope, and gone from noble hunters of dangerous werewolves to thugs who hunt even friendly ones for fun. ''Maybe.'' The group's weak characterization makes it hard to tell.
* [[He Who Must Not Be Heard]]: Three of the four Greybeards cannot even whisper as their voice has enough power to cause earthquakes. Arngeir, thus, speaks for them.
* [[High Dive Hijinks]]: The "Bard's Leap", which consists of a bridge leading up to the edge of a waterfall. [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|You do the math]]. {{spoiler|Surviving nets you a free Speech bonus from the ghost of someone who didn't survive the leap}}.
