I don't know if someone said this yet, but during battles Varric and sometimes Hawke remark about how many enemies they've killed, which reminds me of the dwarf/elf in Lord of the Rings.

And I LOVE when you talk to Alistar, he mentions Orlais wanting to take back Ferelden post-Blight. Well, really, Allistar? Bet you wish you had Loghain still around. Instead you had to go into full whine mode and behead him.

My King Alistair does still have Loghain around. My Aeducan warden had Alistair marry Anora and took Loghain with her and then made Loghain perform the ritual with Morrigan.  

The only difference in his speech was if Aveline was in your party, he mentions that the perpetrator of Ostagar is still alive.

@Vyndael - I've heard her say that, but I don't know the reference.

@Adynata - I love the keeping score!

@Isaantia - Oh, that's cool that he mentions Loghain as King. I know he mentions him as a drunk but hadn't heard the King comment.

[Tigress M]

Came across another one that always makes me laugh.

"Ah, I don't he likes us threatening his master.... maybe we let this one pass." -- One of the bandit lackeys in the Quanari mage quest, reminds me of the bandits outside Lothering and the comments from the "slow" one.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I looted a vial of darkspawn blood in the prologue

Okay, I just found the best DAO reference in the game, so far! (Well, in my humble, Alistair loving opinion, that is!)

Final battle, sided with the Templars, talking to Fenris. He warns Hawke that they'll be facing demons and abominations galore, soon. Her sarcastic reply...

"Sounds like it's Tuesday."

I think hearing that beat the squee of the hot Fenris kiss that followed. It's nice to know that Ritual Dismemberment Tuesdays are still alive and well!

Actually I think it's even more so a 'Buffy' reference, IIRC, as Tuesday way the original airing day of the show.

[Tigress M]

@Ashraine - I think I saw that once and forgot about it! Love the darkspawn blood vial! LOL

@Palentor - Yeah, I think you're right.

[Gilsa]

Looted "Royeaux One and Two" (a long sword) from the Amaranthine Conspirator at Sundermount. Wiki lists it as a weapon that Leliana starts out with in Leliana's Song.

I think the quote is actually "You guard the guardsmen." But your point still stands.

Oops! Sorry! I play in Spanish, so I get the lines subtitled and even if I hear them in English, sometimes I can't recall them exactly. But I thought it sounded familiar enough to be considered an Easter Egg. Glad you agree

Even older than that the original being: "Quis custodiat ipsos custodes" now I have to look for the source...

Juvenal, a friend says...

Wow. You learn a new thing each day. I guess they used the same reference in the Watchmen too. Actually I think also Terry Pratchett uses that reference in one of his Discworld's City Watch books, but even that one was a reference too. To Juvenal or to Watchmen, I wouldn't be able to tell...

Thud!

[KyleTheArtist]

Sebastian says 'This is too easy!' in combat, almost exactly in the same manner as Morrigan, just with Scottish accent XD

[LadyBri]

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but in combat Isabela said "We work well together" which reminded me of Alistair's battle phrase "I think we work well together".

I don't know why, but I could NEVER get Allistar to marry Anora.  She always turned on me and then Allistar would kill her father and they'd lock her in the tower.  My male Aeducan married Anora and sent Allistar into a drunken binge.  My evil character had Allistar killed.  But I could never get Allistar to marry the queen. I want to go back and play Origins so I can figure it out.  Does it help to play as a female character NOT romancing Allistar?  (And I couldn't get Allistar to marry my female to make her queen.  Althought I hear you can do that too.  Somehow....)

[Malja]

Talk to her about it beforehand, after saving her. There's no real trick to it from what I can tell.

[Tigress M]

@Gilsa - That sword reference is too funny! What would make it even funnier is if that was junk you found in the Chantry right before or after Leilana shows up.

@Kyle - Yes he does! They seem to have reused a lot of the battle cries, but that kinda makes sense since there's only so many different ways to say the same thing.

@Ladybri - I hadn't heard hers say that, but that's cool. Although it would make me miss my Alistair.

@nedpepper - I've had her turn on me if I've spoken to Alistair again after getting him agree to the marriage. Other people can talk to him just fine so I'm guessing it's a bug. As for marrying your Warden, you have be playing a f!Human Noble and you have to pass a persuade check during the LM.

1. Do not discuss Loghain's fate with Anora. Ever.
2. Discuss Anora marrying Alistair with her. You will then have to discuss it with him, then return to her to tell her he's agreed.
3. #2 is aided by Alistair being hardened.
4. Do not allow Alistair to kill Loghain. Do it yourself.
5. No matter how unlikely it may seem, after Loghain has been dealt with (dead or tainted), tell the Landsmeet that Anora and Alistair plan to marry. 
6. In the epilogue (which may be a tad bugged) Alistair and Anora will be married. If you killed Loghain, Anora will hate you. If you didn't, Alistair will hate you.

Another literary reference: the codex entry for "History of the Circle" begins, "It is a truth universally acknowledge..." which, of course, are the first words of "Pride and Prejudice."

[Tigress M]

Going through the Deep Roads I found an "Oath-Breaker" Maul. Guess Sten or Oghren dropped it and it somehow wound up here.

@Alikander - Oh, that's too funny! Good find!

That one made me laugh when I saw it.  Did anyone else have the entire first paragraph of the book going through her head as they finished up that area?

... If Loghain died killing the Archdemon, Alistair will hate you no longer, instead he'll say you were right and he's sorry for having been such a fool At least that's what happened in my playthrough and I loved it

Can you make Loghain a Warden with Alistar?  Alistar always flips out on me and kills Loghain and says he'll become King if it means Loghain dies...maybe I've never "hardened" him...that's sound dirty......but now I'm determined to see this happen.

Have them both as Wardens in the end? Nope. Not even if you harden Alistair.

[RedSonia]

No, you can't. But if you made Alistair king (marred to Anora, at least in my playthrough), you greet him at the epilogue scene and are able to talk to him a last time.

[BunnyisCthulhu]

There is an apostate called "Jack the Black".

Isabela shouts "If we kill them, we get their stuff!"

Merrill mentions Duncan's beard if your warden wasn't Dalish.

The talking man in the Hanged Man talks about how he saw the eternal flame of the chantry as a wheel of cheese for a moment. A reference to the cheese being a placeholder for items in game. There is also a missing cheese sign on the Chanter's board.

When talking to Carver about his personal quest and teasing him about his name, he asks about yours. Hawke's response is "I'm sure someone thought long and hard about my name."

[Tigress M]

@Ninalupa - Missed the Jack the Black. Too funny! I've heard Isabela's shout for the first time this playthrough and I laugh every time she says it. As for the cheese references... OMG! I had no idea. Going to have to go check those out! And missed the Carver convo because I'm playing an angry mage this time, so didn't go for the funny lines -- will be on my to do list.

[Tigress M]

I think I just heard the writers making fun of the re-used maps. A random click on Varric while in the Wounded Coast produced this:

"We're surrounded by nothing for as far as the eye can see. Why do we keep coming here?"
