So Ralof mentions Vilod, and the way she would add juniper berries to the mead she brewed.

Of course, if you go back to Helgen, you can find five bottles of the stuff- the last 5 bottles in Skyrim, presumably. Not only would it be pretty cool if this "collectors' item" was worth a bit more, but there is an awesome character opportunity missed.

I would love to be able to give those bottle to Ralof in games where I have befriended him and get some sort of reaction. That could have been a really touching moment.

Without degenerating into screeds about the shallowness of the game , are there other minor events like this that you can think of that were missed opportunities?
