Easter Eggs in games are always fun, especially when they are subtle enough to make you think a bit. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is no exception, and many references to pop-culture, history, and other games are tosses in here and there throughout the land of Skyrim. There’s even nod, a wink, and a nudge to previous Elder Scroll games in there as well, but with so many, it may be hard for you find them. Thankfully, GameFront has you covered with a list of the known Easter Eggs so far, with descriptions of each one through the link. Those who prefer to be more like Magellan, may wish to skip the link and find the funnies for themselves. If you know of more than what’s listed, hit us up in the comments section.
