Also, I heard that a boss in Skyrim (Which is also a dragon) dies with an animation much like the enderdragon.
You mean a boss in Minecraft (which is the first dragon in this game) dies with an animation much like a dragon in Skyrim (which is a game all about dragons and has been in development longer than minecraft has existed)
Notched Pickaxe was in oblivion. You've all been fooled. Go back to your homes.
I have a large amount of respect for both developers but for anyone to say that these two are in any way relating their games to each other is foolish. Bethesda is a very professional company and Mojang is trying to grow, not die. Neither of these parties has any reason to reference each other at any given point in time, nor does either party have any reason to relinquish from developing any idea that they've created on their own without outside influence.
Gonna have to say this:

Guys, come on, can you please read a few pages before commenting? It has been proven twice that there is no notched pickaxe in Oblivion (images provided), so please stop saying it is.
Also, I've beaten Oblivion well over 10 times, and explored countless dungeons in oblivion, and come across no Notched Pickaxe, or anything'notched' for that matter. Please guys, if you are going to say that the pickaxe is in the game, give proof. So far it's only proven to be false.
"Of note, the pickaxe even resembles the titular item from Minecraft in its design"
really, why would you even bother typing that. Of course its going to look similar to a pickaxe in minecraft, because its a goddamn pickaxe. And i highly doubt skyrim based its mining and forging on minecraft. they wanted it to have more depth and achievement instead of just looting things. When i found this pickaxe i didn't even think of notch, and to be honest i don't actually care if it is a reference or not..
If the axe can only be found in a single location, and that location is far out of the way, rarely seen, than it's obviously an easter egg of sorts. One meant to be found for those who look around a bit. If I were sitting around all day playing minecraft,I would be tempted to include this thing that I love to play so much in some way as well. it's an homage. There is no conclusive proof of the intentions that the item caries with it, but it's very coincidental at the least. I see no reason why it's not possible this was indeed meant to represent minecraft. It's a game about mining... why not throw in that reference when Skyrim is also incorporating a much more full mining and forging system. I think it is pointless to argue the fine details of it, but at least accept it is possible.
Notch has already put a Easter egg in. Skyrim is all about dragons right? Well if you've been playing/watching the pre-release, there is a world called The End, where you have to kill the Ender Dragon. The reason this is a Easter Egg, is that it is quite hard to make a "THE END" Portal.
anyone who say now that in oblivion there was a notched pickaxe as well, will be labeled as Schizophrenic... there's no such thing in oblivion, what you saw was only in your mind...
Sorry, had to put this here, I'm shocked to see how many people say the pickaxe was also in oblivion despite the proofs we post here showing there was not!
I believe there is ressemblance between skyrim and minecraft and vice-versa, beyond the pickaxe thing.
And yes, the pickaxe is there, on the highest mountain of the world alone... there is just some ore around...
And the guy above has a point, why it is named notched pickaxe if the model don't have a single notch in it?
And yes, the developers of skyrim are friends with notch. The people who started the lawsuit is bethesda softworks and zenimax, not bethesda game studios. And no, it's not the same thing.
It is obviously a homage to Notch because if we see it is worth 303. This is an easter egg for any coders who are also gamers because 303 is the code computers use for "see other" (i.e. see other game!) I cracked the code!
I feel stupid, I found this pickax and never once made the connection. Even the enchantment is 'notched pickax' (which I thought a strange name for an enchantment).
For those of you who say there is a Notched Pickaxe in previous games: Where is your proof? I've seen plenty of proof to convince me that it is a slight nod towards Notch, but no hard evidence to prove otherwise.
Secondly, have you guys never heard of a play on words? I mean seriously. Yes, "notched" is a real word. That doesn't mean they can't use it as an Easter egg..
To the idiots saying to sue them. Why would they? They are promoting Minecraft. It isn't a crime. If Notch or Mojang brought it to court, they would most likely lose.

Possible. Don't really know though seen the book multiple times never stopped to read it. Next time I will :tongue.gif:
