| I noticed that both the Helios X/Z sets are inspired/reference to Egyptian gods. The Blademaster version is based on Anubis, and the Gunner version is based on Ra. Their helmets are modelled after the face (and Ra's headpiece) of these gods.
So now I'm wondering what other references there are in the form of weapons or armour.
I remember someone mentioned Brachydios' set is a reference to some robot in Japanese media? | |

| Probably the biggest (probably unintentional) reference is the Blade of Talos Greatsword. You know, Talos, Ninth Divine, Elder Scrolls, Tiber Septim, uses a bloody claymore etc. etc.
Or maybe it's just me. | |
