I was doing some quests for Luxon faction when I came across the Halycon quest. I talked to the NPCs, and lo and behold, they are all a reference to my favorite show ever, Firefly! Rion is Mal, Khim is Jayne, Arani is Inara, Ting is Simon, Sao is Shepard Book, Hannai is River, and Caly is Caley. There is no Zoe or Wash.

RIP Shepard Book and Wash.

That alone makes Factions my favorite game of all time.

"I can kill you with my brain. But I won't, if you behave."

Best line in a video game ever.

Those are even better, even though I posted Hannai.

My only problem with the firefly series...they ended it way too early

This made my day, haven't seen anyone post it yet.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Elmer "Panaku" Fudd.

The redengining morons at Fox are to blame for that. Joss Whedon had several seasons of Firefly planned.

Yeah, FOX screwed so many series over I don't know why people keep pitching to them.

Hopefully after how well Serenity did in all(I saw it to be a fairly high grossing project) they will reconsider making those few seasons we never got a chance to see, and hopefully more movies!

It is not that old at all. Some spaceship series IRRC, never watched it myself, but have plenty of friends who'd go all over it back in the day

Has anyone notice the reference they included to The Life Aquatic with Steve Zizzou?

There are a couple of quests that can be obtained from the Leviathan Pits that take you through a tour of all the characters from that movie. Very funny parallels in the game. The Impossible Sea Monster isn't very Impossible though.
