C.
No, the province itself was talked about, but the game was never hinted at
Correct Answer
C. No, the province itself was talked about, but the game was never hinted at
Explanation The correct answer is No, the province itself was talked about, but the game was never hinted at. In Oblivion, there were references and discussions about the province of Skyrim, but there were no direct hints or indications about the game Skyrim itself. The NPC rambling about a coming dragon is not a hint specifically towards the game Skyrim, but rather a general reference to dragons in the Elder Scrolls universe. Additionally, the presence of Skyrim's logo in Oblivion does not necessarily imply a hint towards the game, as it could be a mere Easter egg or a nod to the upcoming release.
