* [[Weirdness Censor]]: People get stuck trying to walk through each other. Guards ignore people trying to punch you out, but when if you do it, they immediately report your crime. Guards walk away after you pay them money to go away after you murdered someone on the streets. You stick a knife into peoples' back and they just walk around like nothing happened. Guards try to murder ''each other'' and they don't mind. You wake up and there's a zombie inside your room and the person you're bunking with doesn't mind.

* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: The 36 Lessons of Vivec, from Morrowind. They are a series of 36 books, supposedly penned by the man-god himself, which are written by Michael Kirkbride. In them, he uses oodles of biblical imagery to make sure that, if you take it seriously, there is ''no way'' a person could see Vivec as anything less than the absolute god of ''The Elder Scrolls'' universe (which, of course, isn't necessarily true). Doubles with [[Anvilicious]]. Also with [[Tropes Are Not Bad]]. And don't forget [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] since some lessons are loaded with obvious innuendo. Finally, there's a dose of [[In-Joke]] too, with glitches in the ''Redguard'' engine fictionalized as natural wonders.
