At the risk of coming off as a fanboy/white knight for SE...
Could you list some of these references? Because I haven't seen anything yet that made me go, "that's totally Game of Thrones."

There are plenty of script references peppered throughout ARR, HW and SB on top of the usual in-joke quest names etc (e.g. 'A Qiqirn Always Pays His Debts'), but the thing which tipped me over into making this thread was actually the RDM questline. Which I was enjoying for the RDM lore until the abrupt insertion of GoT fanfic took me out of the experience.
I'd personally prefer it if they tried a bit harder to mask the linguistic tributes (the popularisation of 'Ser' and the constant references to 'little birds' from multiple NPCs are classic examples; can we have a more FF-style twist on 'little birds' for fun?), but at least I can tune that stuff out and it's only a reference to people who already know. The questline less so.
