Bethesda/Zenimax’s legal team may be on the warpath, but the developers at Bethesda Soft bear no ill will toward Mojang Games, it would seem. Despite theMinecraftdevelopermeeting Bethesda at court, a cute little reference to the game has been found inThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Pictured is the “Notched Pickaxe,” which bears some resemblance to Minecraft’s all-important stone-stabber. Notch, as many of you know, is the name thatMinecraft‘s creator uses. If you want the implement for yourself, it’s laying around at the Throat of the World, which happens to beSkyrim‘s largest central mountain.
Bethesda and Mojang are involved in a legal dispute over Notch’s desire to name his next gameScrolls. This is said to infringe onThe Elder Scrolls‘ name. Many people have opinions on this situation, though few actually understand what they’re talking about.
