Line 4:
* ''[[Star Trek]]'':
** In Ivarstead, an irate nordic woman is named Temba Wide-Arms, making for a gag name alluding to the [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Tamarian]] phrase "Temba, his arms wide".
** At one point during the Stormcloak campaign, Galmar Stone-Fist calls the Thalmor [[Star Trek (film)|"pointy-eared bastards"]].
* One of the Companions, when asked why he became one, says "[[Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom|Fortune and glory, friend. Fortune and glory.]]"
** In some dungeons, there are treasures resting on pressure plates that trigger a trap when [[Raiders of the Lost Ark|you pick them up]]. Even better, you can even switch the treasure for something else of similar weight if you're fast enough and avoid springing the trap.
Line 14:
* After killing Mirmulnir, one of the guards with you will say that he's proud to be your [[Warhammer 40000|Battle Brother]].
* 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 50:
* 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|High Hrothgar]].
* After completing "In the Mind of Madness" Sheogorath takes his leave by saying "[[That '70s Show|A good day to you, sir! I SAID GOOD DAY!]]"
* 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]].
