Inside of Mhenlo's shirt and outside in green hills country near where you go to wizards folly there's a place up high where you can see a waterfall, if you turn the camera, on the inside from where the water's coming a rock has a heart with DD+DD (or some letters) on the inside.

But still, it had to have been inspired by her.

Shith: According to theosophists, "re'shith" or "rasit" (Hebrew) was the first word used by God at creation. It implies wisdom. Also, as noted earlier, "ray-sheeth" is interpreted as "beginning" or "genesis." All in all, the impression I came up with is that of a "thoughtful, considered process of creating."

Mal: "male" is Latin for "ill" as in "evil" or "vile." It also implies violence, so I figure it may interpret that way for this expression.

Speaking of Ascalonian Guard quotes, I've had one say to my female necro, "Didn't your momma tell you not to talk to strangers?"

To solve the mystery of Carlotta the spider (someone was curious), the NPC who gives you the quest that takes you to Riverside tells you to follow Carlotta - for she will weave webs to lead the way.
I can't remember where, but there's an old quote "Follow Carlotta's Web".

And Prince Rurik (THE PONCE!!!!!!) tries to be Aragorn while in the Nolani mission.
"There may come a day when the city of Rin falls.
But it is not this day."

If I hadn't needed him to survive he would have forfeited my healing then and there.
In fact, the first time round he did, and someone else went to rescue the PONCE!!! because I refused to.
Sorry I just really really HATE Rurik!

as for the searing thing, the charr have statues of the titans in pre searing, so the searing of Orr and the Searing of Ascalon are two different things.

Also, Im pretty sure the male ranger dance is a breakdance.

There's a female Warrior face that looks exactly like Jennifer Love Hewitt.

9th Requiem · Sep 15, 2005, 12:25 PM // 12:25

I've heard the town crier in pre-searing say "Don't touch me. I'm super important". This is a quote from Baldur's Gate.

The writing inside Mhenlo's shirt refers to Alesia - her surname (shown during the beta) is Baptiste.

There are a few homestarrunner references - Rodgort comes from the reversing of Trogdor, "To the limit!" comes from one of thier cartoons, and pretty much the whole "Cold one" quest in SF.

Apparently, "Charlotte's Web" is a children's book about a pig named Wilbur who has a spider-friend named Charlotte. Translated into Italian, the name charlotte becomes "Carlotta" which relates to spiders in another way: a spider species exists called "Carlotta Serratipes" or some such...

No it's not

You should have said "may refers"

Full chakra, people.

You can probably take anything in this game and do enough research. You will find something else called the same and you can claim it was a refference. It sounds like 90% of these names where just something the devs thought of while sitting in a chair scratching their heads. For that titan saying that whatever it is, the devs just probably made it up trying to make it sound like a titan language.

The quest you get at Ventarri's Refuge from Deep Root, "Dropping Eaves" Its a referance to LoTR, When Gandalf catches Sam "Eaves Dropping" Sam shouts back to Gandalf "Honest sir I weren't Dropping no Eaves"

Tomjol · Sep 24, 2005, 02:48 PM // 14:48

I don't know if its been said (probably has) but part of the to sorrows furnace quest where you help Kilroy Stoneskin, on the quest he shouts out Killlroyyyyyyy stoneskinnn like the infamous Leeroy vid from WoW

I don't have time to read all 9 pages... in pre searing outside of abbeys if you look in you can see a ghost behind that goddess statue. But once you're in that zone, it's not there.

Has someone mentioned that Elle Rigby might be a reference to the Beetles song Eleanor Rigby? How suitable for Old Ascalon - "All the lonely people - where do they all belong?"

Sister Rosette · Oct 03, 2005, 04:28 PM // 16:28

I'll go ahead and backstory the W shouts no one has covered then;

'I will survive!' Obviously, the song.
'Shields Up!' Star Trek

And no one has caught yet;

Lina Esrevni, backwards is Lina Inverse, or Slayers fame.

My luck it's like an LoD reference for Hacto and his island with the lava dragon. Shith has a ton of references, none which seem appropriate to me.

Any ideas?

These words are the latin for:

Shith=Void

Mal=bad/evil
(I'm french so I knew the word ''Mal'' (which is the same word for evil or hurt) was directly related to the latin word for it.

Hacto=Up to this point/at this end/as you have finnished

So basically he says: Void and evil up to this point.
Or: ''There is nothing but evil here.''

Basically he's doing the typical evil bad guy thing by taunting you.
Someone really did his/her homework in latin class!

Since The Titans where deitific being from ancient rome/greece they probably though it would be cool to add some latin in there.
-----------------------
There where also a few ancient hebrew spelling for it, but I don't think it's related to the game in any way. Titans are roman, not arabian.
