Or Bethesda just takes a lot of their ideas, designs and concepts from the works of Tolkein, just like nearly every other fantasy writer since the LOTR, I could recreate this blog with Dragon Age or Inheritance Cycle. Not that anything is wrong with that really, if he hadn't they'd have copied someone else just like they used to before LOTR.
