I feel the same about Skyrim, my character is a Nord too and just joining the Stormborne. The dragons could be dream dragons (although they are too pansy), there are storm runes everywhere. It has a distinctly S:KoH feel to it and enhances my experience in both mediums (table top and computer). Could even be good publicity. It's a shame it's not multiplayer, we could set up our own tribal server otherwise :)
