Even though it's an ES game, I think the devs might sneak in pop culture references from time to time. Here's one I think I may have found: The Wharf Rat - a tavern in southern Haven. Wharf Rat is a song by the Grateful Dead about a down and out alcoholic. Considering that a lot of older devs and programmers were Deadheads back in the day, this could certainly be a reference to the song.

Has anyone found any others?

    Ah, perhaps it might be best if you don't actually look at the links if that's the case! Otherwise you'll know where they all are before you conclude your adventures. That being said, there may be one or two missing, so who knows, you may spot them ;).

    Yeah, I did cover my eyes and close the pages as soon as I saw what was there lol, but it's great to know that information is out there, so thanks again! I guess some of us on console who are new to the game take for granted the PC players who have been here for a year compiling all of this information. We owe them a thanks as well!
