Gaming Easter Eggs

Tagged: blog easter-eggs gaming skyrim

I'm not really a fan of Easter Eggs in games, I find it pointless hunting for a subtle hint of a Star Trek episode I don't watch or a prologue to Halo 4. I've been playing through Skyrim a lot recently and I have found a few that made me chuckle, 1. A fist fight in the Silver Blood Inn at Markarth when an onlooker shouted 'Remember, Hit the one in the middle' a cool reference to Rocky 4 when Rocky is talking to Duke in the corner 2. Possible Link from Zelda? A pit near Whiterun with an impaled elf wearing Links famous green tunic and hat. 3. Star Wars TESB, I can't exactly remember the cave but one where a Skeleton is hanging upside down from the ceiling pointing towards a sword stuck in a snow pile and also a lot of Snow trolls around. 4. The Hangover, one quest in the game seems to be the exact same plot as the movie, 3 groomsmen have lost their friend and have to retrace their steps to find him before he marries the next day. While retracing their steps they found out they had been up to no good the night before like stealing a goat.. There was a few more but I couldn't be bothered to write things out So Skyrim is full of funny little references to Bethesdas favourite games/Movies What does everyone else think of Easter eggs, does it add quirkiness to a game or take away the fun in moments?

Borderlands 2 is full of goodies as well.

I like to see the easter eggs, like the LotR one in Borderlands 2. But they are usually pointless or take to much effort. Randomly stumbling across something is fun though.
