While progressing through the bandit camp (by which I mean killing all in sight) I found a peculiar knobgoblin who had a letter. When looting his body I saw a letter so I read it. It says 'Why does a chair have arms and legs like a man but cannot walk or hold things?' If you want, Ill paste a screen shot of it.

I think I remember seeing that. Never found a purpose for it. Though most times I try not to annihilate the bandit camp

Ah yes, I once found something like that too: on the (dead) body of a Gnoll, next to the High Hedge. Guess it shows that the philosophical ideas of a Hobgoblin and a Gnoll are very much the same!
(about Easter Eggs: what excactly is an Easter Egg? I know that the Golden Pantaloon enigma is an Easter Egg, as is this letter and the secret cow level in Diablo II. But also an Easter Egg seems to be: getting a peep of the main female character of Metal Gear Solid in her underwear, when you are crawling early in the game through some ventilation shafts... So what excactly is an Easter Egg?)

Just a special feature that you wouldn't necessarily expect. It could be something completely out of the normal game structure, an incredibly powerful item or just a few jokes. Eg. in Divine Divinity-
some of the developers were NPC's and computers and stuff were present- which you wouldn't expect from a more medieval setting)
It just depends on the game and the developer's outlook really.

IIRC that scroll is worth 50 gp's. kind of alot when your budgeting at the beginning.
