Morrowind References in Oblivion (Spoilers for both Morrowind and Obl

[SoulofChrysamere]

So as I've played The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on my Playstation 3, I've noticed several things that remind me of Morrowind. I'm just relaying them here. I didn't pull these off of any sites, either. You could probably find most of these on websites, but I'm bored at the moment and so I'm making this. All that said, enjoy.

 

 

 

1. The Ayleid ruin of Rielle up near Bruma shares its name with Phane Rielle, the name of the bartender in Balmora's South Wall Cornerclub in Morrowind.

 

2. The first Fighter's Guild quest (first one specifically from Azzan in Oblivion) in both games involves rats, but in Morrowind you kill them and in Oblivion, you save them. Also, the homeowners in both games are female Dark Elves with the surname "Thelas" -- Arvena Thelas in Oblivion and Drarayne Thelas in Morrowind.

 

3. The name of the female High Elf you must protect in the "The Wandering Scholar" quest for the Fighter's Guild is Elante (of Alinor). In the cavern of Ibar-Dad in Morrowind, you will find a female High Elf who's name is also Elante. Having encountered both, I must say that if they are the same person, she has substantially mellowed by the events of Oblivion.

 

4. If you've played through Morrowind's Mages Guild questline, then you've probably done the quest that involves exposing a Telvanni spy that infiltrated the Vivec guild branch. Well, the spy's fake credentials (which he produces upon you confronting him) mention Chancellor Ocato's name, albeit horribly misspelled (come to think of it, nearly every word on that parchment was horribly misspelled).
