Easter eggs, references, Easter, eggs, secrets, discoveries.

I can't believe when I google this nothing comes up. There's a guy named Ranmir at the frozen hearth inn in winter hold and he is a reference to Edgar Allen Poe. He used to be happy and in love but now he is in debt and all he does is drinks. He was in love with a woman named Isabelle but she ran off and ended up being dead ( there's a quest where you can take her letter back to him) Isabelle was also much older than him. If this isn't an Edgar Allen Poe referene than idk what is.

Almost all have been categorized on the wiki: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Easter_Eggs

That's interesting.

Reference to what exactly in the rather large collection of works by Edgar Allan Poe. I myself noticed once a reference to him to, but I'm unable to remember what it was. It wasn't Ranmir, I think.

I don't get most of these references anyways :c

Like that Troll slaying book...I'm a fan of Finntroll, but the only thing I see is the author called Finn, and it's about troll slaying.

I don't see any "what could be" referrences towards their music(besides the title).

I see references this way, though:

"During combat, Brynjolf may exclaim "So it's to the pain then!" This is a reference to Westley's famous threat to Prince Humperdinck in The Princess Bride."

But what if it isn't? It's just a sentence.

Unfortunately, I never heard about Edgar Allen Poe. I will look him up later today.

Edit: typo

Edit: Woops, just discovered a kind of double post! Sorry.

E-gads, what are they teaching in school now? ( joking)

I miss alot of the Easter Eggs myself.

Funny - the Star Wars section of the wki doesn't include the line 'we're here to rescue you,' which comes up in the game every now and then.

It wasn't from a specific work of his, just an occurrence in his life. He had a lover named Isabel who was much older than him ( now that I think about it she may have been younger like 12 or 13. Idk but he did like older women.) and she left him. I think he wrote about Isabel in his poem the raven.

I'm not an expert on Poe's life, but I don't remember him having a lover named Isabel. His much younger wife Virginia died after a long period of illness some time after he wrote The Raven, maybe she's the one you're thinking about? The Raven certainly doesn't mention any Isabel, but I guess it might have been inspired by a real person/event.

Anyway, I don't see how Poe having a love affair gone wrong could become an Easter egg. This kind of unfortunate event happens to everyone at least one time in their life.

Bard's leap summit, also why does the entrance of that area look like it is in the shape of the letter A?
