Easter eggs I suppose they would be called. I laughed my ass off in the Warrens reading the supervisor's clipboard. It showed that three men were missing. Whitman, Price and Haddad. OMG I was busting a gut. gg troika

Well if you play as Malkavian you'll get loads of crazy dialogues lines with hidden meanings. For example, early in the game when you talk with Mercurio about the Vormann sisters, your Malkavian character will adress them as the "faces of Janus". Janus was an ancient roman god with two faces, the overseer of gates. In Rome, temples dedicated to Janus were numerous, the most important being known as the Ianus Geminus, a double-gated structure: one door facing the rising sun and the other, the setting sun.

Perfect to describe the Vormann sisters... :D

It is from The Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger. They were the guys that Richard Dawson (host of the game show) said were previous winners of the game, living a life of luxury on a tropical island, when in actual fact they were killed on the game show.

The movie was based on a book by Richard Bachman (Stephen King's pen name).

Well, we all know that we have Cepsi in this game, not Pepsi (look in the Hollywood convenience store behind the merchant), but what do we have instead of Coke? Well, I'm afraid that Fable is going to rip my head off... so alert! bad word! bad word!

Instead of Coke, the game features the delicious flavor of... ****. Change the k to a c and the e to a k... I kid you not, its on the floor in several locations.

Heh. Perfectly on subject, here. It's difficult if not impossible to discuss this game without bringing up "mature" subjects, as society hilariously labels 'em. ;)

I was just watching the Boondock Saints today, and cracked up when I saw the "Sin Bin" scene in that movie. The whole fight scene in the peepshow, the name... the entire quest and area is a tribute to the Boondock Saints. Here here!

You guys missed the obvious sexual reference to VV's strip club. "Mount" Vesuvious. As in I am going to mount...

Maybe it's the Mount of Venus :D ?

As far as I know, Vesuvius is the second highest volcano in Italy, not many sexual references, though :confused:

Let's not get carried away, here. If the Mons Venus had been meant, it would have probably been written as such; and if "Mount" was the joke, any mountain would have sufficed. But volcanos have long had sexual connotations, thanks to, well, eruption. Traditionally, many have been worshipped as the physical manifestations of male gods.

It's also one of the oldest, most cliched sexual gags around. I suspect the developers deliberately used it to denote the sleaziness of the area. It's the kind of place you'd expect a vampiric Leisure Suit Larry to show up. ;)

I got one other obvious one that I'm certain we all noticed.

"Your a little tall for a Tong aren't you?" -Kiki, Bloodlines
"Your a little short for a storm trooper aren't you" -Liea, Star Wars

Yeah baby, I was also a "Little" Affrican American for a Tong... Damm brujah skin ruining the joke.

If you play Malkavian and encounter Samantha in Hollywood you can use dementation to convince her you are not you but her deceased pet turtle Shelly. What follows is quite a long conversation about how she missed "you" and how she is sorry for flushing you down the toilet because she thought "you" were dead.

Eventually she'll leave, proposing you should call her if you ever want to hang out. Oh and she'll definately be surprised over how big you've grown in all the years.

:D

Playing a Brujah through this time, I decided, when the prince asked me to do something a little... Life threatening.. I would give him some lip back and told him just where he could shove his little quest. He reacted like a good prince.

SPOILER!!



"Sherif, you've just witnessed an assasination atempt, deal with it"
I jumped back and got ready to either be shown a fade to black, game over end... Or to fight the sherif... But everything was oddly still. I wandered up to the prince and spoke to him again and got the automated response of

"You've been given your orders, don't come back till the Sabbat leader is dead."

I take it, at some stage, the programers had decided that if you give the prince too much sass he'll kill you, but then forgot to program in the bit where you ACTAULY die.. So instead, the prince ordered the Sherif to kill me, and then we all got on with what we had to do. It was reather a touching moment.

Ghostbusters!

Speaking of Malkavian dialogue options:

A Malkavian character addresses Arthur Kilpatrick as the Key Master and the evil surfer dude from the beach house as the Gate Keeper.

Sounds familiar.

NI!
Enough said.
