Who at Overhaul is a Forgetting Sarah Marshall fan?

Anyone whose seen the above movie, and done Neera's quest should easily be able to spot the quote from said movie. It's awesome and almost made me spit out my drink, as it's the best line in the whole movie. Kudos to you developers!

    No idea, but considering they snuck Breaking Bad and Walking Dead references into Dorn's questline, there's probably a bunch of other ones dotted around the place. XD

    I don't watch either of those shows, and haven't done Dorn's quest, but i'll definitely be on the lookout for more of these references.

    The Rocky & Bullwinkle reference during Neera's quest was my favorite.

    I forgot about that one. Also a good one!

    There are several Rocky & Bullwinkle references throughout the series. You can also find Larry, Daryl and Daryl (of the Bob Newhart show) if you look. Xzar fancies himself as Robert Oppenheimer, Monty is a huge "Alice in Wonderland" fan. Shar-Teel quotes the Governator, and there are a bunch of other external references if you look for them.

    Spill the beans @Dee! Who is the pop culture nut on the writing team. Does anyone have the exact quote? I've seen the movie but I may have missed it while doing neeras quest.

    My guess would be that all the writers contributed their own bits and pieces based on which shows they personally enjoy. I doubt there is a single individual responsible for *all* the references.

    Not all the references were added by the writers :D

    When you do Neera's quest, you'll be asked to find the corpse of a woman for a grieving husband. One of your responses is the reference. It's the best line in Sarah Marshall.

    Presumably the line is...



    Magreg: What have you discovered? Have you avenged my Rilsa?

    Charname: "I was going to do that, but I decided to go on living my life."
