Well, cheers to the lovecraftian references or whatever it should be called. Dagon, the statues in the swamp, and the phrase in dagons description. Then i guess the vodyanoi resemble the Deep ones.

This thread is awesome.  I'll make a list of what I've seen later.  The Marlowe one was the most obvious one for me although I thought I remembered something else from Act 1.

After knocking down an apponent in boxing minigame Geralt does the same moves as Brad Pit in Snatch

I'll have to go watch Snatch again.  I don't remember him ever doing that move.  To me, that scene reminded me a lot of the scene in Brotherhood of the Wolf when Mani (Mark Dacascos) gets into the fights before the big hunt.  I'm not sure about the specific move, but the whole thing seemed very similar to how I remembered that scene.

When fed some food the gardener in Act II tells you about his days as a mercenary. Full of references to fighting in a jungle country, being eaten by diseases and nasty animals and having to retreat because you can't fight an ennemy you can't see. Might he be a Vietnam veteran, perchance?

[Hallas]

Sadly (? not for me !), many of those secrets are connected to Polish culture and language (name of inn paced in second act refers to Winnie the Pooh) or Polish politics (especially Kaczyński twins and their party).

I'm pretty sure I heard someone whistle The Imperial March on the Dike.

There´s an npc in the Dike who whistles the first few notes from Stars Wars.

I heard that from a Druid in the Swamp. A little out of place I thought, but I still laughed out loud!

He also refers to "striped horses" = zebras.

I just ran into Patrick De Wayze in chapter III. Now I'm looking for Demy Mure so we can make "Ghost the sequel"  ::)

Also when you walk around the trade quarter at night, you can hear a couple of tunes from "Requiem for a dream".

[vulturu]

Also, when Lady of the Lake gives you the silver sword Aerondith ( Act IV ), she is knighting you - the phrases she uses are clearly taken out of the "Kingdom of Heaven" movie ( the scene when the Baron of Ibelin pass its title to his son Balian, right before he dies )  ;)

Anyone pay any attention to the ads attached to the walls of houses in Vezima?

I play the Polish version and there's an ad for Schuttenbach Jewellery, that says something to the effect: To us, every ring is 'the one".

The other adds are a bit moire cryptic, but some are quite funny too, I wonder if it's the same in the English version.

one of the battle shouts of the guards in act 3 when fighting kikimores in the streets is semper fi.

it's the same.

[Explorer]

Some things I found funny/neat:

- when it's raining on the Pike, all of the characters huddle under the bridge
- when you run by someway, Geralt just pushes them out of the way
- the girl in act 4 by the lake, when you run by her she says something like 'this game sucks' or something like that

Fantastic - I knew it looked familiar!

[BloodMantis]

how about this one, Ramsmeat says the same thing to you when you pis him off as does Jules in pulp fiction

ramsmeat< "do i look like a whore?" You "yes/no" ramsmeat "then why you trying to fuck me like one?"
Jules "what does Marsellus Wallace look like?" Brad "Hes bald, hes black..." Jules "DOes he look like a bitch?" Brad "nnnnnno" Jules "then why you trying to fuck him like one?"

[TastyBurger]

I am sure the german version has no blood^^

But as Geralt says so well: we shall not get political^^

BTW thanks for this subject, i'll open my eyes.

And: I'm dissapointed there are no funny gravetexts as in other games^^ I was looking forward to that...

PFI reference from one of the guards near old Wizima gates act2, and graffiti on recruiting poster in Temple quarter.

Poor F...ng Infantry. British acronym from WW1 and WW2.

[Yama]

kalkstein is einstein... talk to him about his research after he gets into the tower.

[dynastyhan]

i dont know which version i bought, i pre-ordered mine online. it has both blood and nudity... and geralt also chops ppl's heads off during 'group fights' ... kewl !

also Shani wasnt the only one in comfortable clothes when sleeping, Triss is too, in act 4...

Geralt gets so much fun with girls in the game, i bet he wont die of Aids because game devs made him immune to disease.

One of the funniest scene I saw was when Triss made Geralt a conjured dish for the princess Adda, Triss also tell Geralt, "I can also make conjured orgasm..."

[Ziffer8]

I did not read any Geralt stories before I got the game, so this might not be a real easter egg but rather something from the books.

In Kaer Morhen on the ground floor, there are pictures on the wall to which Geralt will make some comments. One of them is "Witcher George..." and when I looked at the picture from OTS mode, I found it to show striking similarities to the depiction of St. George. A "monster slayer" on a horse killing a scaly beast.

And in book (this is not first sorceress that offers him this kind of pleasure) Geralt replies: "Without frictional moves?" (I can't find better translation, probably this term does not exist in English. You know what moves he is talking about...). Other sorceress "threats" Geralt with sex on the hedgehog...

I really recommend reading books written by Sapkowski (best to start with "Last Wish").

Will depend on the translation. So far i haven't seen anything as good as original.

The term probably does not exist in English but the moves probably does!  ;D
