Yes, Albion was later used as a poetic description for England, as Columbia was once used for the US. But the original meaning was Britain, the island. And yes, I know what the wunnerful paragraph I quoted said. I'm the one who quoted it.

Well... here's the thing: I HAVE heard/read of hobs, household helper spirit-type things. But I've never seen then spelled hobbes or hobbe. Whilst I HAVE heard of Hobbes and his infamous "nasty, brutish, and short" quote. Which I think makes a much better easter egg.

Updated a bit more. By the way, the quotes on the loading screen arent easter eggs.

One of the best ones I heard from a couple of kids in Bowerstone Market. One of them says something like "Quickly, we have to go close the Oblivion gates!" and then they run off together to slay imaginary demons.

I laughed pretty good when I heard that.

This I would most certainly believe is reference to the black knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

That's probably obvious around here, but hey, just thought I'd point it out.

Ahh, It's just a fleshwound. C'mon, i'll bite your legs off.

In addition to the already mentioned Normanomicon, I'll add Sam and Max as character names as their own Easter Egg in reference to the comics/PC games.

Also, for those of you as ancient as I am, one of the headstones in BGY reads something like "You are splashed by acid from the acid blob. Your mace corrodes!" , a reference to the text-based RPG 'nethack' aka Rogue.

Most of the tombstones in BGY for that matter are puns or EE's, such as the one where a Mr Atkins was 'unbalanced' (an Atkins Diet reference?) and others are just outright funny such as in-game novellist Meredith Sock's, which reads something like "Meredith Sock. You suck."

BTW. The in-game inhabitants of Albion speak English, last I checked -- which particular dialect of British English (or Scots for ye Gargoyles) can be determined by others with more time than I.

On the subject of Sam and Max; both of the characters are modelled on two Lionhead employees (they're brothers) and in early development, one of the characters trousers weren't there (bug) so it was made top priority to fix it =p

[Dag204]

Most of the DYE names are easter eggs, such as "Soilent Dye" which is green and a reference to Soilent Green. Also the gargoyles make some references to Fable 1, such as saying "Do you have any potions?"

Also one of the demon doors has these Knights just standing there and they are called "Terry Cotters knights" a reference to the Terracotta army of china.

like someone said, Sam and Max is not a reference to the "Sam & Max" series, it is based off of two of the developers in the game, whose names ARE NOT sam and max but they are real life brothers and the character models are based off of them.

Thanks guys. Anyone else?

there is a dye called soylent dye, and its green, and the description says "color differes for different people" and there is a movie called soylent green, and its about the future where the place is over populated, and there is like no food, and they eat soylent, and there is like soylent blue, soylent red, and it ends up soylent green is made of humans. just something small

theres a bowerstone grave that has captain sparrow (pirates of the carribean)

there is a grave in oakfield that says "here lies the sandgoose, loved by all, seen by none"

and btw it is theresa from fable 1 , and also, to prove this in the loading screen, it says "Some people still remember reading about a blind seeress named Theresa, who lived 500 years ago and was said to belong to an ancient bloodline", aswell she is blind just like in fable one.

[lancepaa]

she's assembled from parts that you find by the cemetery caretaker... sounds charming

[ShadowAssassin]

wow, i didnt know that people were so dumb that they would beleive that half that stuff is an 'easter egg' it just seems since the dovelopers are english that maybe the actors would be british too.... and there wasnt an 'america' around in those times, just britain and europe and asia(with major civilasation and technology of the time) anyway half that stuff you posted up is just your head playing with you, but for the other stuff maybe....

Swarthy Revenge Indigo Dye: This is indigo of the rare Montoya genus. You have crushed its flowers. Prepare to dye.
Lol, it took me a while to remember where i had heard the Indigo Dye one. but the man's name, Inigo, and indigo are similar, so thats why they chose the indigo dye.
Princess Bride: My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

The character of Farmer Giles is a reference to the novella "Farmer Giles of Ham", which was written by J.R.R. Tolkien in 1937. One part of the story details Giles warding off a troll with the use of a blunderbuss, hence the legendary blunderbuss that once belonged to Giles in Fable 2.
