[SPOILERS] Easter eggs in Blood and Wine

[RageGT]

I laughed so much when I found Smigole Serkis. :smile:

Pass A38 was great too.

No kidding!

Gotta find the time to play more, like a maniac, like I used to. Only 2-3 hours a week is killing me! Argh... RL... why did you have to be so demanding? =))

There is a whale falling from the sky at the end of the fairytale quest (A hitchhiker guide to the galaxy ref, apparently)

There's a really nice nod to Oscar (*deep breath* Fingal O'Flaherty Wills) Wilde during the Portrait of the Witcher as an Old Man (nice James Joyce reference!) where one of the rich nobleman called Fingal declares that "Life imitates art", something Wilde said in his 1889 work 'The Decay of Lying' <3

LOL. Thank god someone else saw that. For a minute there I thought that I was hallucinating. My family and I were playing that part together, and when we saw the whale, we all did a double take and were like WTF? The first thing I thought of was Hitch Hiker's.

And Martin Blacha (dead???) the Boss of Bards, and other members' headstones...ouch!... a graphic way for saying Witcher's CDPR'sTeam is melt in the air.... forever?

And L'Hirondelle is Ciri? A Princess of the other side of the Mountains?

Yeah so many CDPR team graves everywhere, some of them were so funny.

Basically the whole expansion was a huge easter egg, especially to the previous games (mostly W1) and books. I need to play the game again to write them all down!
Although, I hoped for Reynart's grave easter egg, he was the broest of the bros.

There are also many Easter eggs related to pop culture & literature, my favorite being the NPCs singing a spoof of "the book of love" and yennefer reading John Irving ! =)

Also -this probably have been mentioned already but I haven't seen it- Some of the interactions between Regis and Geralt strongly reminded me of a Holmes/Watson dynamic !

Sure,for fun..and they've got it! I've spent several minutes reading every lapidary phrase and and some of them made me burst out laughing. Oh, well, Blacha and his team have been able to make me literally laugh and cry, Love them

Ra'mses Gor-Thon, an elven priest and culinary master in "Spoontaneous Profits!" - Gordon Ramsay.
Liber Ivonis, a banned tome found in the witch's hut in "A Knight's Tales" - H.P. Lovecraft.
Edit: Also, the painter's copy cat mentioned in "A Portrait of the Witcher as an Old Man" is named after Renoir (Pierre-Auguste Moustacherois).

Cant remember if I asked this or not, but can you re-enter the Land of Fables after doing the main quests?

No, but it is possible to leave the land of 1000 fables by exploiting a glitch (obviously, it is recommended to save the game before doing this):

Spoiler

Call the horse while standing right next to the barrier that normally prevents you from leaving the fairytale land, and with some luck - it may require several tries - the horse spawns on the other side of the barrier but you can still mount it and end up on the outside. You can then explore all the normally unreachable areas of the map, and even return to Beauclair (it is quite far away).

The same easter egg is also discussed here in a separate thread.

 

[sis2310]

Not sure if mentioned yet but there is a Gladiator easter egg after fighting the giant ghost knight in the south-east section of the map. The ghosts name is Maximus Nonius Macrinus and one of the dead bandits at the estate has a book detailing torturing and killing his wife and son. Before killing Maximus he curses them saying "I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next"

There is a reference to the original game romance cards by one of the prostritute in the whorehouse

 

[asterist]

There's also a POI regarding a hidden loot that refers to BATMAN =D
