Skyrim: 16 Awesome Easter Eggs And References You Totally Missed

13. Star Trek's Wide Arms

As you'd expect the crew of game programmers at Bethesda are most righteous bunch of nerds, dropping in a reference to the mecha of all things geekular; Star Trek. It's one that only the most devoted of fans will understand due to its otherwise obscure nature, but we're sure the intention was in there. So, if you take the trip to Ivarstead's Inn you'll come across one Temba Wide-Arm, a large lady who's in need of your help. However her name is actually derived from a certain Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, where an ancient race of aliens regale the crew with a story about "Temba" with "his arms wide". Of course the similarities end there as you'll be off fighting bears in no time to help her out of her predicament, which is definitely not something the Enterprise crew ever had to deal with.
