the letter from azar javed in the troll's cave in khaer morhen and the DRM grimoire
REALLY liked the talk between Geralt and Keira Metz about the xenovox, basically joking about cell phones, saying they won't catch on.
Heavy metal refrences in The Witcher 3?
So, I stumbled upon few interesting things during my travels in TW3.
In Velen there's a quest called Defender of The Faith - reference to Judas Priest album Defenders of the Faith?
In Skellige there's a quest called Iron Maiden.
Also in Skellige, in the quest Cave of Dreams you can see a flying whale, reference to Flying Whales, song by Gojira?
Coincidence or not?

well...one of the other quests from Skellige is called Stranger in a Strange Land , a well known Iron Maiden song , the chorus is :
"Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home
Considering what will happen in the quest, i wont call that a coincidence

Lambert making fun of Geralt saying "...the job you did for those nilfgaardians,... wha... what are you doing -killing monsters"
actually in a whole load of european myths, salt has magical properties. i don't think that's a supernatural reference, since it has a mythological basis. and it's certainly not a parody.
Correct. Supernatural didnt come up with that. Its been done a million times.
When travelling with Avallac'h you end up on a desert. He suggest this planet was inhabited by a 'sea' creature. By sea I mean as sea - made of water. This is clear reference to Stanisław Lem book Solaris.

There is even a movie, but a medicore one:

The Fall of the House of Reardon quest , the woman is called Dolores Reardon , which is a pretty weird name in Witcher universe, i consider it to be a reference to Dolores O'Riordan , the lead singer of The Cranberries .
Also the Twisted Firestarter quest from White Orchard is of course inspired by The Prodigy .
The gangs of Novigrad / The gangs of New York
Veni Vidi Vigo , and so on , there are plenty of funny quest names and references

Anyone else notice the music in Skellige sounds a lot like the music in Beowulf the animation movie especially when exploring the ocean.
The vampire book from the bookstore in Novigrad: totally making fun of Twilight. It only lacked the part where Edward sparkled. HAhaha.
