It is also why we chuckle when Moira the Hagraven mutters, “My precious.” as the Dragonborn tries to get a wedding ring back from her. It’s why we spend so much time chasing down the Headless Horseman, especially after listening to the lyrics of “Ragnar the Red,” in an attempt to find the identity of the ghostly rider. It is Bethesda’s attention to detail that keeps us coming back for more and makes the world the Dragonborn inhabit feel like a living, breathing thing. Others are a bit more subtle and add life to the world, like lines the of ants found on logs and stumps across Skyrim. Some are obvious and well-known like the Minecraft reference found at the top of the Throat of the World or the skeleton hanging upside down from the ceiling in Bleakcoast Cave with a glowing sword beneath him, a reference to The Empire Strikes Back. After all, Skyrim is full of secrets, big and small. Unless you are a completionist, even after a hundred hours of gameplay, it is likely there is something in the game that you just haven’t gotten to yet. There is so much to do and see that it is easy to miss or overlook something while you are out exploring. Even nearly six years later, Skyrim continues to amaze us.
