There's no doubt that Skyrim has some elements inspired by other games, including BioShock and Minecraft. If you like that BioShock reference, you should also check out the Blackreach Route to the Tower of Mzark, especially going toward its stairway from the water. It definitely resembles the Lighthouse.
