Just a random commentator on the number of dragon priest masks - the masks can be split into three different catagories: the original 9 from skyrim, the 3 elemental masks from the dragonborn DLC and then there's Miraak's. From this magical number nine, we can derive the numbers of the three different catagories according to the following:

- as there are 3 catagories, we can divide 9 by this to get 3 (which is also the square root of 9)

- now if anyone knows how to compute powers, we can find the number of masks in each catagory by using the base 3 where:

3^0 = 1, 3^1 = 3, 3^2 = 9

- now I should also note the significance of these powers, if you add all three powers together 0 + 1 + 2, we get three

- multiply this number by the base (3 * 3) and we get 9!

Hopefully someone else will see my rant and it makes their day, but it really does got to show that Bethesda really does love the number 9 :)
