    In Helgen, I'm the old bald man wearing iron armor. (Feels special)

    Anybody else know somebody with their name featured in the game? (Or previous games)

    The closest to my real name is one of the Surilie Brothers from Oblivion: Davide.

    I too have to take the closest option: Katria, the nord spirit in Arkngthamz, who's researching the Aetherium Forge (Dawnguard). She's rather cool, and I love the quest. My name is just without the last a.

    Rune - in the thief's guild - Rune was the name of an old AD&D (early 80's) character of mine - it became a nick-name then and stuck).

    Also, a friend of mine from the same time period, had a character named Dirge.  And yet, another named Vex (or it could've been Hex).  I often wonder if one of my old gaming buddies from back then, works for Bethesda now - 3 (2.5?) names all in the same 'group'.  Most likely it's just a coincidence though.

    Aye, Vix - and the fox named 'Vix' in Skyrim was actually named in honor of our blog's lore master.

    That name is absolutely not boring - it's a beautiful name.  (What are you thinking?)

    Edgar from Edgar's Discount Spells in the Imperial City market district. That's the first thing I thought of.
