Is this a refference? Or just Coincedence : V

When I saw this in Skyrim, It instantly reminded me of the top of Ironforge in WoW

Anyone else see the resemblance/Know if it was a reference?

It is not. Skyrim is 100% originality.

There are other references in the game, Lady in the Water, Sword in the Stone, And so on.

Yeah because WoW invented pointy rocky stuff that sticks out of mountains.

Theres no pointy rock stuff..lol....

Ah ok, so WoW invented flags then? I don't really get what the coincidence would be.

The flag + bones thins has been around for years, I remember it from games 10 or fifteen years ago, and probably before that in PnP etc. games...

Those two images....don't even......what.....?

Theres a skeleton, A flag, and another object, In the snow, To me, Thats a reference since its the exact thing in WoW

Hahah ...

'Not sure if ...'

Possible, I guess.

» Sat Jun 16, 2012 4:34 pm

i see the resemblance now whether it is in reference to WoW is beyond me.

» Sat Jun 16, 2012 6:43 pm

Maybe it's a reference to something else, and WoW used it to reference the same thing.

There's plenty of references in WoW.

You drinked too much skooma my friend....What's happening to the forums anyway?There's beein going a massive Wow players invasion..

I seriously doubt it's meant as a reference, it's more likely they just had the same idea. A skeleton with a flag isn't really that hard to come up with :>

Are you serious? Is it a reference to WoW because they have characters and weapons too?

Yeah, true, but, Its just the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it in Skyrim.

nice joke. There are many references to other fantasy and there are lots of things in Skyrim that have been in other games before.

Who's more immature? The wow "kiddy" who pointed out 2 similar item set ups or those bullying him, so quick to do so they don't actually see the 3 items in each and not providing info on where it may have originally come from, for what purpose.

Anyway neat find, the paladin weapon quest isn't it? Could it be a paladin reference? do they have a long history of dying on snow with a flag and a container?

I know I am quite intelligent, and it is quite clear my complex arguments are too much for you to handle, so you label me a "troll" and use ad hominem arguments. You'd make an excellent politician.

I get a feeling his amount of posts and ranking has more to do with it forum wise. Anyways, it could really be anything, as stated a lot, hundreds of games probably have something like this.

Wasn't this sort of thing in Monkey Island?

I think that must be to what both games refer, then! All three have a flag, and bones, on a piece of land, and Monkey Island came first! :tongue:

» Sat Jun 16, 2012 3:57 pm

No, it's a coincidence. It's very likely that it was just a soldier dying in combat whi- LIKE A TRUE SON OF SKYRIM! -le raising a flag.

I've never even been on top of Ironforge, even after flying mounts very open in the Vanilla world, so I doubt it's wide-spread enough to warrant a reference.
