Duke Nukem Reference?

So I was walking around Stormhaven, having just walked out of High King Emeric's large house (not much of a castle, really), and as I was walking to my next quest, I hear one of the Elite Lion Guards say "I love to crush skulls and eat sweetrolls, and I've no more sweetrolls."

I couldn't help but laugh at that.

I grimaced when i first heard that.. i personally dislike pop culture references in games such as this. Leave that kind of thing in "the game that shall not be mentioned"

I have ".....and I'm all out of Bubble Gum." On the back window of my vehicle . Also a bottle of Rowdy Rodney Piper bubblegum cola still . Thanks for sharing the Easter egg !

I love these sort of 'localized' references.

Still... I'm sad ESO has no arrow to the knee joke.

Pretty sure in Eastmarch i heard a few "arrow in the knee" puns.

Also, did you know...

In Nordic/Scandinavian countries, "taking an arrow to the knee" meant that you are getting married/already got married. It refers to when we propose, we fall to one knee, comparing it to when a man gets shot in the leg, he, of course, falls to one knee.

Also, in Rivenspire there is a character Reezal-Jul - IMO very similar to Ra's al Ghul (from Batman comics).

That's awesome to know! Thanks for sharing. I feel like I've expanded my horizons today.

Of course, the original "and I'm all out of bubblegum" quote isn't from Duke Nukem, it's from a Rowdy Roddy Piper movie called They Live... Actually, a large number of the most memorable Duke Nukem quotes are lifted right out of various action movies. Off the top of my head I know they cribbed lines from Army of Darkness, Predator, and Star Wars. Probably other too.
