On the top of the highest mountain in Skyrim, The Throat of the World, one can find the Notched Pickaxe in a stone. This has a small chance of being a reference to Minecraft's creator, Markus Persson aka Notch. It might be referencing to Zenimax's lawsuit against Notch over his game 'Scrolls'.

So I did the House of Horrers quest and it loving glitched and made my screen stuck in permanate bloop with a huge amount of contrast and the screen shakes vibrating my controller every 2 seconds. I had to delete all my progress forget my life.

i decided that for my next character, ill make a wood elf poacher. ill live in Riverwood or whatever its called for a while, and go hunting everyday. maybe fight bandits sometimes but not much.

eventually my character will start to go a-questing and find out he's the dragonborn. but not for a while.

A pickaxe is widely considered to be the emblem of Minecraft, which was created by Notch

Imagination or no, don't just rule it out as coincidence first look.


Also why would there be specifically a NOTCHED pickaxe there? What would its purpose be if not as a reference to something? There are normal pickaxes and I've found three or four of them stuck in rocks in various places. Why is this one notched and none of the others?

[Colten]

Its notched because its in a stone

Actually it's much more widely considered to be a tool used to mine stuff.
