Easter Eggs!

Post by MathiasFlynnias »

Go ahead and post any of what you think is an easter egg right here!

Apart from M'aiq. Everyone knows him.

I'm gonna start and spoiler, just to be safe!
Spoiler:
In Blackreach, you find Sinderions Field Lab and Sinderions body. This is the same Sinderion from Oblivion [the one from the nirnroot missions] and he seems to have created a new 'crimson' nirnroot.

If anyone has read the Daggerfall version of the Real Barenziah, they will appreciate the fact that the inn in Riften is called The Bee and the Barbs.

There is also a book by Sinderion, called Sinderion's Field Notes or something like that, iirc. I could be mistaken.

Not sure if this happens to everyone at one point, but just north of Bleak Flats Narrow there's a horse sitting there in the road. It's not considered stealing. Could someone please see if this is random or not?

The guide says there are horses that can be "borrowed" and they act like a stolen horse but you do not recieve a bounty for mounting them.

There's a little cave not too far from Whiterun called "Redoran's Retreat," which of course is a tribute to the greatest of the Great Houses in Morrowind. Cough, cough.

Not really an Easter Egg in the traditional sense, but there is also a Dunmer in the game called Arven the Swift. Come on. Am I inspirational or what?

It's only a small thing but it made me smile. I found a skill book (I think for pickpocketing but not 100% sure) in which the author claims to be the greatest thief in the world. He says that he stole a crown in Morrowind and an Elder Scroll in Tamriel

Haha, no way, that is great but kind of awkward, because of the lawsuit and all. Maybe it is Bethesda's way of apologising to Notch.

The New Gnisis Cornerclub. I haven't made it to Winterhold yet, but it's mentioned in the book "Dunmer of Skyrim".

Likewise by Windhelm there is a farm called 'Hlaalu farm' going up towards the Dunmeth pass and the Refugee's rest, which is covered in what looks to be Dunmer flags, but I am only speculating.
Spoiler:
There is also a mythic dawn museum in Dawnstar.

I found this book to a while ago, but I am sure it should be named Telvanni as second name, as every mention in the book is written telvanni, maybe some oversight.

The journal you guys have found is needed in one of the quests to find one's true past. The Dark Elf is located in Riften. I won't say anything more. (I know cuz I did it).

Occasionally the guards will tell player about the sweetrolls...

In the caves underneath honningbrew meadery you will encounter a hostile NPC named "Hamlyn". After you kill him you can pick up his journal. Reading it reveals that he is an outcast "alchemy prodigy" who feels disenfranchised by his colleagues. He's retreated into the caves to build an army of skeevers, which as we all know are basically rats. This has to be a reference to the classic tale "the pied piper of Hamelin". It made me lol when I read his journal.

No, you get attacked by an Uderfrykte, just like in Bloodmoon.
Also, during the Dark Brotherhood questline, if you read all of Cicero's journals you'll come across this gem:

Actually, kudos to Bethesda on that one. It's pretty clever now I think about it. Who would have thought? Literally, who would have thought?
