I was playing Skyrim and in the Thieves Guild series of quests, you'll come upon a large statue where a thief of sorts is prying out gems from the eye of a statue. It immediately reminded me of the Player's Handbook cover. I'd be surprised if whoever designed this quest wasn't making a reference to the cover. Then again, it could be a coincidence. For those that haven't played the game, the statue is of a Falmer, a type of underground elf.
