They are also concerned about sweet roll theft.

i loved this little bit of reference though i have not played skyrim myself. so fitting! arrow <--archer--> bard yes, yes?

also there's a ffiv reference in the bard quest line. love these random apropos references se seems so fond of :)

I have really liked the nods to pop culture hidden in the game. One of my favorites is the leve quest from Limsa called "Save the Lettuce, Save the World." There's also a quest in the main Gridania storyline with a Star Wars reference from A New Hope.

My Anima took an arrow to the knee doing these quests.

Pfft lame meme is lame.

I traded in my copy of Skyrim for FFXIV Collector's Edition.

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of references to stuff like this. The Ul'dah GC quest has a Game of Thrones reference in it, and from what someone mentioned about one of the LL GC quests there may be another GoT one there too. I still remember a couple from FFXI.

I just hope it doesn't get as bad as WoW where we start getting parody characters in the main lore.

Like Biggs and Wedge?

Even after reading this thread, I was caught off guard in-game by the posted conversation and did the chuckle.
