Thank christ you pointed this out mate!!! Lets all start an angry mob to hunt down bungie. While we are at it we can stop by square-enix and hunt them down for ripping off skyrim waaaaay before it came out. Oh and then we can go and kick over J. R. R. Tolkiens grave, the time travelling, imaginary race stealing bastard!!! I think you will find that everything you have mentioned has been a staple of fantasy writing way before elder scrolls was conjured up.
