* Sweetrolls are almost impossible to not encounter in Skyrim. Of all things, why would a Bethesda Softworks title, particularly an ''Elder Scrolls'' title have [[Fallout 3|Sweetrolls as a food that heals 5 HP]]? Also, some guards when met with eye contact ask "Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?" which is what your first antagonist tries to do in ''[[Fallout 3]]''.
** Sweet rolls have been a [[Running Gag]] ever since ''[[The Elder Scrolls: Arena|Arena]]'', where the scene acted out in ''Fallout 3's'' [[Char Gen]] dungeon is only merely postulated in [[Char Gen]] (as it is in ''[[The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
* ''[[Star Trek]]'':
** In Ivarstead, an irate nordic woman is named Temba Wide-Arms, making for a gag name alluding to the [[Star Trek:
** At one point during the Stormcloak campaign, Galmar Stone-Fist calls the Thalmor [[Star Trek (
* One of the Companions, when asked why he became one, says "[[Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
** In some dungeons, there are treasures resting on pressure plates that trigger a trap when [[Raiders of the Lost Ark
* The writers of the official strategy guide clearly had a lot of fun thinking up quest sub-headers. "Hadvar's Heroes", "The Windhelm Scream", "[[This Means War]]", "A [[Shaggy Dog Story]]", and more.
* The fact that one of the dragon powers is to [[Excalibur (
* There's a perk that adds more health to your reanimated undead minions called [[Dark Souls]]. Quite possibly doubles as a [[Take That]] due to how easy it is to die in ''[[Dark Souls]]''.
* One of the hold capitals is called "Windhelm." The strategy guide refers to part of a quest as "[[Stock Scream|The Windhelm Scream.]]"
* In the Abandoned House in Markarth, after it becomes apparent there is a daedric influence in the house, items start flying around the room and the [[Film/Poltergeistchairs|get stacked up in a pile on the dining table.]]
* After killing Mirmulnir, one of the guards with you will say that he's proud to be your [[Warhammer
* Wuuthrad's reforging is a shout out to the reforging of the sword Gram from Norse Mythology.
* One of the loading screens has a [[Braveheart|Nord wearing blue war paint and hefting a claymore.]]
** There's even a preset for male Nords that looks like Mel Gibson as William Wallace.
* Delvin Mallory, a thieves guild contact in Riften, is suspiciously similar to Vinnie Jones in accent, appearance and mannerism.
** His voice and manner of speaking can also be seen as an homage to [[London Gangster]] films.
Line 29:
* A 10 year old looking vampire named Babette? [[Interview With a Vampire|That sounds familiar somehow...]]
* In the highest point in the game world, one can find a one of a kind [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Notched]] [[Minecraft|Pickaxe]]. It's well-known that Todd Howard and Notch are close friends and fans of each other's work.
* When asking Farkas {{spoiler|if everyone in the Companians is a werewolf}}, he'll say, "Not everyone. But all the Circle are. [[The Legend of Zelda (
** The remains of a high elf clad in a familiar green tunic and hat can be found at the bottom of a mammoth trap. Possibly doubles as a nod to the original [[Final Fantasy]]'s Link tombstone.
* It can't be a coincidence that all native male Nords try their best to mimic [[Conan the Barbarian|Arnold Schwarzenegger]].
* Urag gro-Shub on the Elder Scrolls: "But at the same time, all of it is true. [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Even the falsehoods.]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzYehduguws Especially the falsehoods.]"
* The above is also a reference to Malcalypse's statement from the ''[[Principia Discordia]]''.
* Along the trade road in Whiterun you can find an [[Avatar: The Last Airbender
* One of the loading screens has an orc covered in blood, wielding two war axes, who looks a lot like [[God of War (
* The giants having mammoths [[A Song of Ice and Fire|may seem a bit familiar]]
** In Dawnstar you can meet an old soldier of the Legion named [[A Song of Ice and Fire|Horik Half-Hand]]
* In the Twilight Sepulcher, [http://www.facebook.com/katatonia/posts/318201148205624 you can find] the remains of a couple of thieves named [[Katatonia
* [[The Shawshank Redemption|"I understand you're an elf who knows how to get things."]]
* Nobody else noticed that {{spoiler|Mercer Frey prying the eyes out of the giant Falmer statue in the final Thieves' Guild quest}} bears a surprising resemblance to the cover of the Advanced [[Dungeons
* Perhaps unintentional but [[Adventure Time
** The troll slaying guide also authored by the adventurer Finn may be a nod to the Finnish metal band, Finntroll.
** This could also be a reference to the "Saga of Finn" a [[Show Within a Show|poem sung by a bard]] in ''[[Beowulf]]''.
* In Winterhold, one of the magicians not affiliated with the College was doing a magical experiment. It ended with the [[Galaxy Quest
** Also at the College J'zargo asks you to test a spell for him. It makes the targets explode violent. When you return you can mention this by saying [[Fallout 3|"Were they supposed to explode? Because they exploded."]]
* The Master-level Destruction spell Lightning Storm casting animation mimics the [[
** So do all dual-cast Destruction spells.
* An achievement for gaining access to the College of Winterhold is "Gatekeeper". The perk for stealing keys is "[[Ghostbusters|Keymaster]]".
* Let's get the obvious out of the way: [[Beowulf
* After completing "In the Mind of Madness" Sheogorath takes his leave by saying "[[That
* Daedric armor looks quite like [[The Lord of the Rings|Sauron's]] [http://www.council-of-elrond.com/castdb/sauron/sauron5.jpg armor this time around.] Add in the fact you can equip gold rings (which apppear on the right index finger) and wield a mace..
* Perhaps a happy coincidence, but a being whom Dragons fear, respect, whose [[Badass|badassery]] means they are sworn to obey and who are last of their kind? The Dragonborn, our protagonist, certainly begins to sound awfully like the Dragonlords of [[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]].
* One of the quest rewards is [[
* Towards the south of Markarth, there's a shout out to the fairy tale ''[[Three Billy Goats Gruff]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p95ESJG0Sr8 here.]
* While it might be a coincidence, the story of Olaf One-Eye and Dragonsreach is reminescent of a Polish folk tale about the founding of Krakow, which states that the first king of Poland took the throne when he slew a dragon and built his castle around its lair, from which the city of Krakow was built out from.
* In the quest in which the player (has the option to) obtain the horse Frost, you will also recieve Frost's lineage papers. Upon reading said papers, the player will discover- among other things- that Frost's father was Sleinir. Sleipnir was Odin's horse in Norse mythology.
* Look at the Elven class of Light Armor in Skyrim. Then, look at the armor worn by the elf armies in the ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' films.
* For one of the quests in the College of Winterhold, you need to make contact with a former student. Said student was the brightest mage of his age, but after a [[Noodle Incident|horrible accident]] he took to hiding in the [[Real Genius|tunnels beneath the college.]]
* After fighting Frostbite Spiders under Helgen, Hadvar will sometimes comment "What next, [[Resident Evil|Giant Snakes?]]
