    An Easter Egg is a hidden reference to a movie, book, or game in a game. Here's the ones I've found:

    FALLOUT/FALLOUT 2 REFERENCES
    1) Brahmin (2-headed cow) in H.T. Williams', Tarant.

    2) Student at Tulla Gates (special quest) is wearing Power Armor

    3) He's also carrying the "Gem of Water Purification"

    4) WHen you first talk to Virgil (after the crash), select every line that sounds like you're telling him to go away. Eventually he'll say "Well how do you think this is for ME?! Here you are, the CHosen One- er, Living One...

    MONTY PYTHON
    1) Stillwater Giant quest leads you to a bunny in a cave surrounded by bones.

    2) Magick aptitude 100+ SUccor Beast Spell gives you a killer bunny

    If anyone finds another one, just add it.

    The Boil is refered to as being a "retched hive of scum and villany", which is how Obiwan described Mos Eilsy space port. Also, this description was used Fallout 2 to describe The Den.

    Or, in the case of Fallout II, it was an actual easter egg.

    and that old bloke who lets you in to see simeon tor in tulla calls you 'wanderer' Fallout 2-ish egg. And simeon himself has the exact same voice as the mad old healer (I forget his name) in Arroyo village.

    1. here's another obvious one, the siamese twins (elven'name) are reference to real siamsese twins, which were joined at hip too, all their lives.


    2. if u wanna end up in a mod im working on, send me a little story of yours or something to email or post it here.

    hey it's YOU who has a tag on his name. 23?
    what's that? a factory number? Or maybe the number of quick ways to have a high post count?

    it's probably a really anal easter egg, but the bloke in tarant whoose factory you can clean out for him is called mr plough- very possibly a simpsoms one- the episode where homer is mr plough, the snowplough king

    the obvious is the stillwater giant
    it's either a yeti or bigfoot
    the ogre in stillwater is like the snowman who almost ate luke skycrawler
    jaochim is like obi wan kenobi
    the island of thanantos is like Jurassic Park

    If u look at it that way the whole game is an easter egg, try searching any word from arcanum in google, and ull find alotta references:) and if u improvise it so loosely, you can actually say that arcanum is a game made by the book "Masha and the 3 bears"

    mebe if u look over the fo2 easter egg list ull get the idea:p
