Finally, I've beaten Dragonborn. With these new shouts, I'm even more overpowered than ever! Saving the Raven Rock mine gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside, though.
Damn it Bethesda, that's laziness, not cleverness.
What? Raven Rock was the mine in the Morrowind expansion, Bloodmoon. It was later referenced in Fallout 3 as a way-too-visible easter-egg (main quest location? WTF?). It was mentioned in Oblivion, too (try talking about the Imperial City to Hillod the Outlaw in the waterfront district). Dragonborn takes place on the same island, Solstheim, as Bloodmoon.
Easteregg? Raven Rock is a real place, it's like Cheyenne Mountain. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven_Rock_Mountain_Complex
It being used as such an important location is an easter egg.
Does anyone know of any
really, really good quest mods for Skyrim? Like, quests that aren't the same "go kill draugr" quests as every god damn quest in Skyrim? (Oblivion may be slightly better about it, but it still has problems with ayleid ruins all being incredibly samey)
For comparison, here's the kind of quest I like (this is literally a quest in
this mod here, btw, verbatim, I haven't finished it personally):
Chandra the Bloodthirsty in Chorrol sends you to kill a vampire
also named Chandra the Bloodthirsty who, for some reason, is cavorting with a vampire gang. Her Cyrodiilic isn't up to snuff, so she says that they're living in a fort that's either named after a famous person or a color that's "not far from here", but she can't remember the specific name. From there, she says you should ask around to see if people know. Talking to others reveal that you should talk to
Estelle Renoit (she knows names really well) or
Honditar (a bit air-headed, but
really knows his way around. Can't get a name right for the life of him, though). Honditar gives a few locations nearby that have vampires living in them, but gets their names horribly wrong, referring to an Alyeid ruin called "Nine and Dave" and another ruin called "Thornlip"; Estelle Renoit tells you of a few fortresses named after colors and people (Blueblood, Alessia), but thinks that it's more likely a mistaken name, like Maglia being mistaken for Magenta or Magus. From there, the player needs to put this info together and figure out for his or her own self where these vampires are hiding.
