Aurora, the Luxon hench who uses barrage, directs all her comments to someone named "Hector", whom I can only assume is a nonexistant pet. Sounds like a subtle jab at B/P rangers.

Default Death Blossom
Assassin Skill Death Blossom (since it hits all enemies)

From the movie "The Last Starfighter", the Death Blossom is a uni-directional super weapon which fires all over the place, hitting everything within range.

haha, no. the phrase actually comes from ancient Rome in the gladiator games when the fighters would adress the emperor: "Those who are about to die salute you"

Can't be, the NPC uses an AXE! Racthoh can't use an axe!

Almost nothing in here, as per the last thread, is an Easter Egg... and the vast majority are declaring a reference to something that isn't an origin.. can't these threads be named 'Interesting Notes' or something more accurate...

I wonder how many of these things pointed out were pure coincidence, and how many were actually references? lol

Just thought Id pass this on, as the first few times walking past him I didnt feel like listening .
Almost anytime you see NPC's standing around talking to each other there is a quest after it.

According to Guildwiki, one of the things Lukas says is "I'm really left-handed"

This must be a reference to what is by common consent the greatest duel scene ever written, and one of the two greatest ever filmed. (From The Princess Bride.)

----------------------------

Meanwhile, has anybody found a reference yet to the "Turtles all the way down" joke? If there isn't one in the game, it's a grievious oversight.

The assassin skill Blades of Steel is probably named after an ice-hockey game for Nintendo.

I like to think it's a reference to me, but that's just my own ego.
