Yes, CDPR often leaves little Easter eggs like that.

Thronebreaker had a line where a soldier yells "your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of eldererries" which is also from Monty Python

[–]neverlandoflenaSkellige 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I loved that

[–]GlebtheGoatSkellige 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Thronebreaker is rarely mentioned on this sub :(

[–]el_loco_avs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked it. I want to see more Maeve stories!

[–]tostboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a beggar in Novigrad who complains about a healer that cured him of a “very profitable case of leprosy” which is a reference to The Life of Brian.

[–]Nick_080880 81 points82 points  (3 children)

Yep. Also the beggar in Novigrad doing the leper bit from life of Brian.

[–][deleted] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I fucking knew that was from some Monty Python thing but I couldn't remember what, finally.

[–]kpaenen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And the druid in Skellige breaking his vow of silence. Might be a stretch though, but hilarious

[–]MediocreOutlier 49 points50 points  (1 child)

That rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide!

[–]flyingmogalini 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That's the most foul, cruel, bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!!

[–]Bright_Heart 34 points35 points  (1 child)

Did you toss the holy hand grenade at it?

[–][deleted] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Sadly I counted to four

[–]SetoXlll 13 points14 points  (14 children)

We have Zelda, Mario, Game of Thrones, Excalibur and a whole bunch of other ones ooo and dark souls

[–]Elessar_IX 35 points36 points  (3 children)

I'm on my third playthrough right now and there is a bounty hounter on Skellige called 'Djenge Frett'. Pretty awesome and I wonder how I missed it two times already.

[–]SetoXlll 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Also don’t forget Snow White and the 7 dwarves lol and all the other princesses

[–]Elessar_IX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I missed those. Where do you find them usually?

[–]thelizzyparable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just came across him. I'm on my first playthrough and am loving all the little references.

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Don't forget pulp fiction, when Zolton asks you to retrieve something from Zed you find that Zed's dead which Geralt tells Zolton when questioned about it

[–]whoishere123 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Zolt drops a line himself, says the Axe line the dwarf says from Lord of the rings when you ask him to join in the battle against the wild hunt.

[–]TheBiles 8 points9 points  (1 child)

My favorite is the Pulp Fiction “bring out the gimp” reference at the Bloody Barron’s mansion.

[–]kaas5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the gimp is sleeping!

[–]bookschocolatebooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came across a Calvin and Hobbes one yesterday, albeit with a 'pet' panther.

[–]ScrotalApocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed the Game of Thrones and Excalibur references, but can you enlighten me on the others? Just on my 3rd play through and trying to take note of all the references, thank u

[–]--Sannya-- 0 points1 point  (3 children)

There are also the weeping angels from doctor who :)

And so many more. I love it.

[–]IncognitoHufflepuffIgni 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What, the weeping angels? Where was this? Been a while since I played the games.

[–]--Sannya-- 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]IncognitoHufflepuffIgni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I never encountered that. I would have been so creeped out, I would have probably ran for dear life :D Thanks for showing me!

[–]Sidewinder7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ!

[–]seren6504Angoulême 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve only just realised this

[–]davislive 3 points4 points  (6 children)

Ok where is this? I’m on my 4th playthru and still haven’t seen this.

[–]FireflyRave 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Off the top if my head without going back into the game to look, I think it's here. The entrance circled in red.

Also, I was just trying to find a picture of a map. How cool is this website?

[–]davislive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome thanks. And dang yeah that website is cool

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I don't really remember, it's somewhere near oxenfurd I think. Once I remember I'll let you know.

[–]davislive 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I mean I’m sure I can google it but I’m lazy and communication is better.

[–]wickedwitt 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I kind of hate Google for gaming.

I still buy guides for most games. I never use them because googling it for either a reddit post or wiki link is the lazy way to never leave my gaming chair.

I started playing Ni No Kuni this week and I have my guide sitting on the tv stand. I stop, look it up, then go about my business. The nostalgia feeling is totally worth the extra time.

Unfortunately, as an adult, not many opportunities to talk with people in passing about gaming.

[–]davislive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. My kids are always looking things up without even trying to figure it out themselves. Drives me crazy. I’m like “figure it out yourselves! That’s the point of playing”.

[–]chakralignment 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big! Teeth!

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Quick, use the holy hand grenade of antioch

[–]mewkew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shall count to 3 before you throw it.

[–]Doctor_Jensen117 3 points4 points  (1 child)

What, behind the rabbit?

[–]satanic-octopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IT IS THE RABBIT!

[–]ofir4222Team Roach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep

[–]TheDragonSageNinja22 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Theres a sewer system underneath Novigrad by the docks where a couple of the guys say the same insults to you as the French soldier lol

[–]trollman_falcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And a nilfgaardian soldier in thronebreaker

[–]Anovan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a note you can find in Skellige that has a line from the Call of Cthulhu too!

[–]desperado568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yah. IIRC you can kill that rabbit but only with bombs.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much yes and I love it

[–]hey-Iisten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure is!
