Easter eggs:D

Magdalina · July 2014

For a change, I'm gonna try to make a cheery optimistic topic that doesn't concern any bugs=P
What easter eggs have you guys ran into?
To anyone who may not know the word - easter eggs are little surprises, awesome things just hidden there, often in plain sight. If you want to find all the little hidden secrets firsthand, maybe you shouldn't keep reading, just in case

Just yesterday I found a couple of AWESOME things in Malabal Tor. One is that orc in Jathsogur(a fort or something filled with very aggressive orcs). He is fishing on the river there and instead of attacking me he told me "You could join me, there's enough for everyone"=D I was all worn out from fighting his relatives left and right, and I just thought "oh no, not another one!" when seeing him...and instead of attacking, he invited me to fish xD That was so damn cool.

Another one I found(also Malabal Tor) is a crafting station full of unaggressive big cats with gorgeous names like Purrs-in-Sun, Forgets-to-Hunt, Lady Slumberbear and Treethane Scratchbelly.

Share yours;)

If you visit Ivarstead in the Rift, and start climbing the 7,000 steps towards High Hrothgar you'll run into several Frost Trolls.

I like to think this might be a reference to a certain annoying troll in Skyrim who could kill unwary players making the ascent if they followed that game's main quest without levelling up sufficiently.

Does the baby wasp "pet" count?

Hurbster · July 2014

In Crows Wood instance there is a dagger inscribed 'To M'aiq from his father M'aiq'. Or something pretty closely approximating that.

ItsMeToo · July 2014

M'aiq is fun to run into throughout the game.

Blackwidow · July 2014

While I love this topic, could you do me a favor and just write ***SPOILERS*** on the main title.

Thanks.

On the subject, my favorite was actually "Maiq' the First". He explained his family history to us in beta.

I was the first in Beta to find him. You should have seen the forums light up when I told people he was in the game.

After a few weeks, they changed his name back to Maiq' the Liar.

I'm not sure why.

Ghanima_Atreides · July 2014

I think guards/enemies saying "At least there aren't any dragons around" qualifies as well.

It's called easter eggs, an a discussion on easter eggs is by definition a spoiler.

I like M'aiq, but a number of people seem not to get he's been in the games since Morrowind, maybe they changed it so they could google it. It is a shame though since M'aiq the first would be a nice expansion. Mind you calling M'aiq the knife would have worked too.

I know he's been in the games, but it's nice to see him in this one too.

Um...I'm sorry if I spoilt something for you, but how is that an actual spoiler? I'm not talking about quests or storylines, just some little things here and there.
If you're 100% set on finding all of these little things by yourself(that's probably gonna be hard, btw

) firsthand, maybe you shouldn't open a thread named "Easter eggs"?

No hidden insult to your intelligence intended, btw=) Just saying.

No, it's cool. It was not for me. Some people actually do not know what easter eggs are, second languages and all that, so it was for them.

Well, then they're gonna learn a new word, courtesy of me:P It isn't my first language either.

But that is why I said "just little things hidden in the game", kinda explains it. I suppose I can edit that to make it a bit more clear.

EDIT: Done:)

Ok, good point, not sure you can completely use it, as the term Easter Egg is extremely wide spread, and they are likely to have come across it before.

But there are always new people learning new languages, and some of them might not have come across the term yet, So fair point.

The EH general who wonders if they will make you the Thane of Whiterun because 'I hear they will take anyone'.

If you place your cursor on your character on the login screen and spin it really fast it'll do a dizzy dance, or a face-palm action. Perhaps there's others I only saw those two.

Seriously?o.O I don't seem to be able to get that, but maybe I just can't spin enough with my touchpad xD

EDIT:Well, I managed to find my mouse, finally. That's awesome xDDD

Someone stole my sweet roll, look for the victim and the thief in Daggerfall near were the WW spawns.

DenverRalphy · July 2014

I've encountered NPC interactions where I could swear some of their voice dialog are lyrics from popular songs. Though a specific example escapes me at the moment.

Lazum Dar is best cat

Running around Windhelm I occasionally hear a guard in a very good Austrian-ish accent ,"It's not a Rumor!"

The non-agressive cats at the AD Lamae crafting station in Malabal Tor is great.

ItsMeToo · July 2014

When I use Mist Form in the towns to get around, some of the NPCs say, "Damn" as I mist by them.

One of the Khajiit at the Baandari Caravan in Kozanset in Alik'r will read your stars if you speak to her. Her response is uniquely tailored to which Mundus stone you have active.

ebondeath · July 2014

I've heard "no lollygagging" from guards in Riften a couple of times.

Dedhed · December 2014

Just found some cats at the Mages' Guild in Skywatch in Auridon (Aldmeri Dominion) that actually have names. Thought that was odd, so I paid attention for a bit.

One is named Azura and is sitting on a crate holding court with two sitting below her named Bethamez and Wendelbek. Another cat comes in and out named Tellywelly Softrobes.

No idea what this is in reference to other than Azura being a deity, but it's neat.

Koensol · December 2014

The naked Nord with fur boots in Deshaan, who was cheated by a witch and lost his axe. Who played morrowind knows exactly which quest this refers to :P

Wendelbek was an Ayleid Ruin in TES:4. Bethamez sounds like a Dwemer ruin, I Guess from TES:3 or TES:5.

Who knows these three gorgeous Bantam Guars outside of Ebonheart?

It looks like the one sitting on the mushroom is the teacher or a story teller and the other two are listening

Bethamez is a Dwemer Ruin located within the Gnisis Eggmine in Morrowind.

There are a lot of references to Psijic Projections but not to the Order itself, that I recall. You might want to note that "we" can't do them but certain Mages like Rurelion, Ealcil, Galerion and Mannimarco can which are indications they originated from the Psijic Order.
