Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Suggestions Easter Egg ideas

Well I found it and here it is. its the file gandalf.zip <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

also I would like some sarcastic/satire jokes in riftrunner and some country specific jokes (Belgium,Germany,Belgium,US,Belgium,Canada,Belgium,Holland... are some countries i suggest).

Ok, since people are posting ideas here, here's one that I had that I want to put in if I ever get the chance to make a game.
While wandering the world, in some remote area, you find a crack in the mountain, or a door in the mountain, not sure which. It could be that the door is closed and looks like the mountainside, so you wouldn't know it's there unless you highlight it. Anyway, you open the door, and inside you find a lot of machines running and such, kinda like a clock maybe with lots of gears moving. There is a note one a nearby table that says something like:
George -
Make sure you lock the portal this time, the last time it got left open, one of the characters crashed the system.
- Fred

This note would of course be to and from some of the developers, and it seems that you have stumbled upon the "Engine Room" of the game. Mabye it would be possible for you to "crash" the system, where everything freazes, and one of the developers walks in to fix it, and you are standing frozen. The developer moves you back outside, and locks the door, and fixes the problem, and everything starts back up.

Now, what do you think of that one?

Planetary had a moment like that... but of course you don't mean it, right?
I like the idea. Would be nice if they put a double belt there...

You wouldn't really be able to break it, it just seems like it. It just pauses the actual game, and you see the person walk in, move you, lock the door, and get the game going. You should probably get a message about how did you end up out here when you were just inside that door.

Any references to LOTR, D&D, etc. should probably be more subtle. Like the Dark Elf Amulet -- that was cool. Plus it wasn't in-your-face. I want to find like a "halfling's ring" next to some dead halfling's corpse, and then find some "lord's ring" in a castle... for LOTR references. Hmm, but maybe that's too close to the first one.

Good ideas though!

Hi Rose, how long time huh? Have a good time i not see you around, please tell me a thing, your sig really work to detect ip address, or is just a joke. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />

no it's no joke.
i changed my ip adres and the numbers changed to my new ip adres.

Thx, to confirmate it Bean, i asked this because all numbers here start with

200........ and when i saw this i thinked, this can't be. But this is the number, can't be wrong. Just because this i asked. But i think she don't want to answer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

So i think i have luck, cause this isn't my real ip address. Is just one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> AHAHAHHAHAHAHA...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Now we can back to the topic, i don't have ideas for Easter Egg.

Maybe something like go to other planet. Or back on the past, or go to the future.

There are already some of these subtle references in the game : The names of Characters. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Alrik is a name from the RPG-System "The Dark Eye" (yes, with this title it's gonna be published in the english-speaking area !) , Arhu is from a novel by Diane Duane (as he told me), and there are some other things like that.

Didn't know that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

What if you find a small painted egg? As a 'real' easter egg ;0).

Yes, I think this idea would be great ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> And iit should only be visible at the real christian eastern time ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

(Well, and what about other festivities ? Those celebrateby other religions ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )

Teeeheeee... Isn't it a neat trick? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And yes, long time! I've been busy with work.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />Pick on us Canucks. We've had a bad year here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> so some humour about us would be nice.

Sars

Mad Cow Disease

You name it and we've got it or it will be here soon.

Eh!!!

I see that you are reborn as Gandalf the red. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

It is true that Larian Studios are in Belgium, but unfortunately the developers lost all their sense of Belgian-humour because they are very busy developing the software. Thus, they hired People from US, Canada, Holland and Japan to make country specific jokes, in other words you shall have all except Belgian-specific jokes <sticking tongue out> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

The shrimpo quest was pure belgium.shrimpTV

Apollo and El Shrimpo have a tv show that review games(2 guys with to much beer(belgium country of a million beers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />) and a couple of games (when it's bad they realy let you know it is a bad game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />)). Great way to ensure good press <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />. I hope to see more of them in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" />.

@larian: please no freaky frank jokes I can't stand that guy Please I beg you for the love all that is good and evil don't do that. Unless you have to kill him very very very very very very brutal in the game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.

And that peeing boy was clearly a refrence to our National monument

Wouldn't that be difficult, with easter changing from year to year ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Easter Date Algorithms

How about this. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

In <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> I really liked the following scene



or somthing like that. I like those silly conversations, reminds me of Monty Python <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Maybe they could use some conversations from the "island of the mentally ill" thread <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
